3D real-time path planning for AUV based on improved bio-inspired neural network

An improved algorithm based on bio-inspired neural network is proposed for Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) real-time path planning in three-dimensional (3D) environment in this paper. The algorithm has made an improvement in the shunting equation of the neural network model which is conductive to path planning especially in dynamic environments. The proposed approach has high efficiency and good real-time performance.
