Numerical Simulation of Time-Optimal Path Planning for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles Using a Markov Decision Process Method

Many path planning algorithms developed for land or air based autonomous vehicles no longer apply under the water. A time-optimal path planning method for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), based on a Markov decision process (MDP) algorithm, is proposed for the marine environment. Its performanc...
