Online path planning algorithms for unmanned air vehicle
Zhang Mengying, Hua Wang, Cheng Feng · 2017 IEEE International Conference on Unmanned Systems (ICUS) · 2017
The path planning is a core technology to autonomous flight of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The most important part of the UAV path planning is its algorithms. In this paper the path planning methods are sorted into two categories: off-line path planning and online path planning. Because of real-time obstacle avoidance, online path planning algorithms are widely used. Three online path algorithms are introduced, including their fundamental theories, advantages and disadvantages and potential improvements. Finally, the development trends of online path planning algorithm are given.
