Abstract:
This paper present three different methods for obstacle avoidance and path planning for Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV). These methods takes into account the dynamic constrains of the vehicle using advanced simulator of AUV. We present modified visibility graph local avoidance method for obstacle avoidance. The algorithms were tested in challenged scenarios demonstrating safe trajectory planning.
