3D smooth path planning of AUV based on improved ant colony optimization considering heading switching pressure

Abstract A smooth and secure spatial path planning algorithm that integrates the improved ant colony optimization with the corrective connected spatial search strategy is proposed, aiming at heavy heading switching pressure of autonomous underwater vehicles sailing in complex marine environment. On...
