Abstract:
In this paper, we present a novel three-dimensional spatial path planning algorithm based on the Vector Field Histogram* (VFH*) approach, specifically tailored for underwater robotics applications. Our method leverages the strengths of VFH* in obstacle avoidance while enhancing its capability to handle complex three-dimensional environments. Through extensive simulations, we demonstrate the superior performance of our algorithm compared to traditional methods, such as RS-RRT algorithm. Our results show significant improvements in terms of computational efficiency and path optimality, making it a viable solution for real-time path planning in dynamic underwater environments.

Vector Algebra: Graphical Method
We use the laws of geometry to construct resultant vectors, followed by trigonometry to find vector magnitudes and directions. For a geometric construction of the sum of two vectors in a plane, we follow the parallelogram rule. Suppose two vectors are at arbitrary positions. Translate either one of...
