Abstract

This paper presents a path planning approach for underwater docking in a three-dimensional environment based on a Modified Artificial Potential Field (MAPF) method. To meet the requirements of docking task, a virtual position point and a virtual attitude point are adpoted to construct the MAPF forces. The virtual position point is used to keep the vehicle approaching the docking station. The virtual attitude point is used to adjust the vehiclȩs attitude to reduce the deviation from the docking statioņs entrance. Local minima problem is also considered in this paper and a resolvement is proposed by adding an escape force. Simulation results show that in both static and dynamic environment, the docking path planning approach is suitable and efficient.
