In this paper, a novel cooperative path planning scheme of unmanned surface vehicles
(USVs) for rescuing targets in a complex ocean environment is proposed. The primary …

The cooperative path planning problem for air–sea heterogeneous unmanned vehicles
using search-and-tracking mission is studied in this paper. Due to the limitations of single …

This paper presents a two-stage cooperative path planner for multiple autonomous
underwater vehicles operating in dynamic environment. In case of static environment, global …

Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) have shown tremendous application prospects recently.
In this paper, a hierarchical two-layer framework is proposed for the cooperative path …

It is an effective way to execute a complicated mission by cooperating unmanned vehicles.
This paper focuses on a search-and-track (SAT) mission for an underwater target, and the …

The study is concerned with the problem of online planning low-cost cooperative paths;
those are energy-efficient, easy-to-execute, and low collision probability for unmanned …

Unmanned system has become more and more popular as it can adapt to diverse
environments and has prospective applications. Especially, the coordination among …

Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) can encounter traffic ships while navigating toward the
target location. For the USVs, collision avoidance (CA) trajectories need to be planned …

As an emerging technology, multi-UAV collaboration is widely used in military and civil
applications, including regional surveillance, remote sensing, target strike, etc. As a key step …

In this article, we focus on the cooperative path planning for unmanned surface vehicles
(USVs) composed of single-USV path planning and multi-USVs task assignment. First, the …
