The Contributions of AI Usage Over AUVs’ Path-Following and Path-Planning

The increasing of interesting in exploration of the underwater environment unknown and complexity, accentuated the need of the underwater vehicles with trusted robust control systems.Over a few pasts dedicates, much of researchers and scholars shown a huge racing for designing and implementing navigation systems supporting autonomy for underwater vehicles.This paper will explore the basic concepts of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) control systems and terms.Two different criteria of algorithms for AUVs' path trajectory will discussed and explained (Path Following and Path Planning).Also, some path trajectory algorithms which have been designed with aiding of AI techniques are discussed through this research work; Where the study shows the similarities and differences between different types, and then assesses the benefits gained from the use of AI technology.
