A real-time map-building system is proposed for an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) to build a map of an unknown underwater environment. The system, using the AUV's onboard sensor information, includes a neurodynamics model proposed for complete coverage path planning and an evidence theoretic method proposed for map building. The complete coverage of the environment guarantees that the AUV can acquire adequate environment information. The evidence theory is used to handle the noise and uncertainty of the sensor data. The AUV dynamically plans its path with obstacle avoidance through the landscape of neural activity. Concurrently, real-time sensor data are “fused” into a two-dimensional (2D) occupancy grid map of the environment using evidence inference rule based on the Dempster-Shafer theory. Simulation results show a good quality of map-building capabilities and path-planning behaviors of the AUV.

Complete coverage path planning (CCPP) is an essential issue for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles’ (AUV) tasks, such as submarine search operations and complete coverage ocean explorations. A CCPP approach based on biologically inspired neural network is proposed for AUVs in the context of completely unknown environment. The AUV path is autonomously planned without any prior knowledge of the time-varying workspace, without explicitly optimizing any global cost functions, and without any learning procedures. The simulation studies show that the proposed approaches are capable of planning more reasonable collision-free complete coverage paths in unknown underwater environment.

This paper presents a complete coverage algorithm for a flexible parent child unit robot by combining input shaping with the wavefront algorithm. Input shaping was used to control the command-induced vibration in the system, while the wavefront algorithm planned the complete coverage path for a given workspace. A model of the flexible robot was developed by treating the child units as inputs, replacing the link wire by springs and dampers, and treating the parent unit as a point mass. Results showed significant improvement in the coverage process for the shaped coverage in comparison to the unshaped coverage.
