A Novel Unmanned Surface Vehicle Path-Planning Algorithm Based on A* and Artificial Potential Field in Ocean Currents

Ocean currents make it difficult for unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) to keep a safe distance from obstacles. Effective path planning should adequately consider the effect of ocean currents on USVs. This paper proposes an improved A* algorithm based on an artificial potential field (APF) for USV pat...
