Three-Dimensional Near-Seabed Path Planning for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles Using Fisher Information and Slope–Curvature–Yaw-Rate Constraints
Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) operating near the seabed must maintain localization reliability while satisfying maneuverability and bottom-clearance constraints. This study proposes a three-dimensional near-seabed path-planning framework integrating likelihood-function-curvature Fisher information, multi-criter...
