The location of distress object in the maritime search area is difficult to determine, which has brought great difficulties to the search path planning. Aiming at this problem, a search path planning algorithm based on the probability of containment (POC) model for a distress object is proposed. This algorithm divides the area to be searched into several subareas by grid method and dynamically evaluates the POC of the distress object in each subarea using the Monte Carlo random particle method to build the POC model. On this basis, the POC is dynamically updated by employing the Bayes criterion within the constraint of the time window. Then, the sum of the POC of the object in the subareas is regarded as the weight of the search path. And the proposed algorithm dynamically executes the search path planning according to the maximum path weight. In comparison with the parallel line search path planning algorithm given in the “International Aeronautical and Maritime Search and Rescue Manual,” the simulation results show that the search path planning algorithm based on the POC model of the distress object can effectively improve the search efficiency and the probability of search success of the distress object.

This paper is a study of the dynamic path planning problem of the pull-type multiple Automated Guided Vehicle (multi-AGV) complex system. First, based on research status at home and abroad, the conflict types, common planning algorithms, and task scheduling methods of different AGV complex systems are compared and analyzed. After comparing the different algorithms, the Dijkstra algorithm was selected as the path planning algorithm. Secondly, a mathematical model is set up for the shortest path of the total driving path, and a general algorithm for multi-AGV collision-free path planning based on a time window is proposed. After a thorough study of the shortcomings of traditional single-car planning and conflict resolution algorithms, a time window improvement algorithm for the planning path and the solution of the path conflict covariance is established. Experiments on VC++ software showed that the improved algorithm reduces the time of path planning and improves the punctual delivery rate of tasks. Finally, the algorithm is applied to material distribution in the OSIS workshop of a C enterprise company. It can be determined that the method is feasible in the actual production and has a certain application value by the improvement of the data before and after the comparison.

This research aims to solve the safe navigation problem of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in deep ocean, which is a complex and changeable environment with various mountains. When an AUV reaches the deep sea navigation, it encounters many underwater canyons, and the hard valley walls threaten its safety seriously. To solve the problem on the safe driving of AUV in underwater canyons and address the potential of AUV autonomous obstacle avoidance in uncertain environments, an improved AUV path planning algorithm based on the deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) algorithm is proposed in this work. This method refers to an end-to-end path planning algorithm that optimizes the strategy directly. It takes sensor information as input and driving speed and yaw angle as outputs. The path planning algorithm can reach the predetermined target point while avoiding large-scale static obstacles, such as valley walls in the simulated underwater canyon environment, as well as sudden small-scale dynamic obstacles, such as marine life and other vehicles. In addition, this research aims at the multi-objective structure of the obstacle avoidance of path planning, modularized reward function design, and combined artificial potential field method to set continuous rewards. This research also proposes a new algorithm called deep SumTree-deterministic policy gradient algorithm (SumTree-DDPG), which improves the random storage and extraction strategy of DDPG algorithm experience samples. According to the importance of the experience samples, the samples are classified and stored in combination with the SumTree structure, high-quality samples are extracted continuously, and SumTree-DDPG algorithm finally improves the speed of the convergence model. Finally, this research uses Python language to write an underwater canyon simulation environment and builds a deep reinforcement learning simulation platform on a high-performance computer to conduct simulation learning training for AUV. Data simulation verified that the proposed path planning method can guide the under-actuated underwater robot to navigate to the target without colliding with any obstacles. In comparison with the DDPG algorithm, the stability, training’s total reward, and robustness of the improved Sumtree-DDPG algorithm planner in this study are better.

The paper puts forward the dynamic path planning algorithm based on improving chaos genetic algorithm by using genetic algorithms and chaos search algorithm. In the practice of navigation, the algorithm can compute at the best path to meet the needs of the navigation in such a short period of planning time. Furthermore,this algorithm can replan a optimum path of the rest paths after the traffic condition in the sudden.
