Research on the development and path exploration of autonomous underwater robots

Abstract

With the increasing development of marine science and technology, autonomous underwater robots have become a hot spot in the field of underwater research and applications, and have been widely used in deep-sea scientific research, marine resources research, and deep-sea security. This paper focuses on analyzing the current research and development status and application prospects of autonomous underwater robots and predicts their future development trend. Aiming at the difficulties in engineering practice of path search in underwater unknown space, the traditional space path exploration method is analyzed, and a hybrid search algorithm is proposed to plan a reasonable and efficient dynamic path for target search in unknown underwater space.
