Path planning for auto docking of underactuated ships based on Bezier curve and hybrid A* search algorithm

ObjectiveThis paper develops a multi-stage path planning algorithm for the auto docking operation of an underactuated surface vehicle (USV). As one of the most difficult tasks, docking requires advanced maneuvering skills. Therefore, it is necessary to generate a smooth trajectory in the berthing en...
