The path planning of unmanned ships in complex waters using heuristics usually suffers
from problems such as being prone to fall into the local optimum, slow convergence, and …

Path planning for unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) in the presence of ocean currents is a
challenging task. Several relevant methods have been proposed, but they all assume a …

A path planning method for unmanned surface vessels (USV) in dynamic environment is
proposed to address the impact of dynamic environments on path planning results and the …

To solve the problem of path planning for an unmanned surface vessel in an unknown
environment, this paper proposes a path planning algorithm based on the improved D* Lite …

The increasing number of bridges in inland waterways has been continuously posing the
potential for ship-bridge collision accidents. To reduce the probability of accidents in the …

Due to the influence of the complex underwater environment, safety, smoothness, real-time
requirements and poor integrity, the path of autonomous underwater vehicles is mainly …

As crucial technology in the auto-navigation of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), path-
planning methods have attracted scholars' attention. Given the limitations of White Shark …

The appeal for safe navigation of autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) has deemed the path
planning problem as an attractive research interest. However, most of the previous works to …

This paper presents a whale optimization algorithm (WOA) based on forward looking sonar
to achieve two‐dimensional optimal path planning for an autonomous underwater vehicle …

Ships transport large volumes of cargo, and are therefore major contributors to the global
economy. Ship collisions can cause significant economic losses. Path-planning algorithms …
