Efficient path planning is a critical issue for the navigation of modern unmanned surface
vehicles (USVs) characterized by a complex operating environment having dynamic …

The increasing deployment of multiple unmanned vehicles systems has generated large
research interest in recent decades. This paper therefore provides a detailed survey to …

The traditional trade-off between execution speed and path quality has forced real-time
robotic path planning algorithms to sacrifice path quality in order to execute in real-time …

To avoid collision accidents and achieve independent recovery in the cluttered marine
environment, this work proposes an intelligent path planning system for a waterjet-propelled …

Formation control in a robot swarm targets the overall swarm shape and relative positions of
individual robots during navigation. Existing approaches often use a global reference or …

This work is focused on reactive Static Obstacle Avoidance (SOA) methods used to increase
the autonomy of Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs). Currently, there are multiple …

Mobile robots need path-planning abilities to achieve a collision-free trajectory. Obstacles
between the robot and the goal position must be passed without crashing into them. The …

When utilizing the traditional path planning method for unmanned surface vehicles
(USVs),'planning-failure'is a common phenomenon caused by the inflection points of large …

Abstract The navigation of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) in complex maritime
environments requires robust algorithms for effective path planning. This study presents a …

In recent years, mobile robots have become increasingly frequent in daily life applications,
such as cleaning, surveillance, support for the elderly and people with disabilities, as well as …
