Abstract

Marine resources are an important wealth for mankind. The development and application of underwater robots capable of efficiently performing various underwater tasks are of great importance for the exploration and utilization of resources. Motion control and path planning technologies are the core technologies that ensure the safe and stable operation of underwater robots in their working environment and have always been the focus of underwater robot research. This paper studies and classifies the motion control methods and path planning technologies of small Autonomous Underwater Vehicle. In terms of motion control, the content involves PID control, fuzzy control, and the sliding mode control. In terms of path planning, it analyzes the A* search algorithm, the artificial potential field method, and the ant colony algorithm, and elaborates on the characteristics of these commonly used technologies. It also compares and analyzes the advantages of the improved technologies. Based on the above investigation and research, it makes prospects for the motion control methods and path planning of small Autonomous Underwater Vehicle.
