Path Planning of an Autonomous Surface Vehicle based on Artificial Potential Fields in a Real Time Marine Environment
Year: 2017
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: With growing advances in technology and the everyday dependence on oceans for resources, the role of unmanned marine vehicles has increased many a fold.Extensive operations having naval, civil and scientific applications are being undertaken and demands are being placed on them to increase their flexibility and adaptability.A key factor for such vehicles is the requirement for them to possess a path planning subsystem.Most path planning techniques are implemented in self-simulated environments.This study accounts for the use of artificial potential field in path planning of an autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) in a real time marine environment.Path cost, path length and computational time are described to ensure the effectiveness of the motion planning.
