Abstract

In this paper, a review on the three most important communication techniques (ground, aerial, and underwater vehicles) has been presented that throws light on trajectory planning, its optimization, and various issues in a summarized way. This kind of extensive research is not often seen in the literature, so an effort has been made for readers interested in path planning to fill the gap. Moreover, optimization techniques suitable for implementing ground, aerial, and underwater vehicles are also a part of this review. This paper covers the numerical, bio-inspired techniques and their hybridization with each other for each of the dimensions mentioned. The paper provides a consolidated platform, where plenty of available research on-ground autonomous vehicle and their trajectory optimization with the extension for aerial and underwater vehicles are documented.
Keywords: path planning; ground vehicle; underwater vehicle; UAV; robotics; numerical techniques; bio-inspired techniques; hybridization; non-linearity path planning; ground vehicle; underwater vehicle; UAV; robotics; numerical techniques; bio-inspired techniques; hybridization; non-linearity
