Abstract

In this chapter we review motion planning algorithms for ships, rigs, and autonomous marine vehicles. Motion planning includes path and trajectory generation, and it goes from optimized route planning (off-line long-range path generation through operating research methods) to reactive on-line trajectory reference generation, as given by the guidance system. Crucial to the marine systems case is the presence of environmental external forces (sea state, currents, winds) that drive the optimized motion generation process.

Bibliography

  • Motion planning is extensively treated in LaValle (2006), while the essential reference on marine control systems is the book by Fossen (2011). Goerzen et al. (2010) reviews motion planning algorithms in terms of computational properties. The book Antonelli (2006) includes the treatment of planning and control in intervention robots. The papers Breivik and Fossen (2008) and Tam et al. (2009) provide a survey of both terminology and guidance design for both open and close space maneuvering. In particular, Tam et al. (2009) links motion planning to navigation rules.
