Junjie Xu, Rui Song, Honghao Cao · 2023
Unmanned boat swarms are a modern type of marine intelligent equipment with broad applications in ocean observation, maritime patrol, and search and rescue. This paper proposes a cooperative target search strategy for USVs based on the ant colony optimization algorithm to optimize the search trajectory in the marine environment, thereby improving search efficiency and task robustness. The proposed algorithm is simulated in various search scenarios and compared with other heuristic algorithms to verify its effectiveness and feasibility.
