A Novel Path Planning Algorithm for Autonomous Underwater Vehicle

A path planning algorithm based on sector scanning for AUV was proposed in this paper. By reducing the frequency of the calculation of the path planning, this method solved the problem that AUV can not respond to the frequent control instructions of path planning because of AUV’s poor flexibility. Meanwhile, by making the path more clear and reliable, the algorithm improved the operability of responding to the path planning results and operating the controlling of AUV’s moving. Simulation results show that this method is feasible and efficient.
