Path planning with homotopic constraints for autonomous underwater vehicles

This thesis addresses the path planning problem for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) using homotopy classes to provide topological information on how paths avoid obstacles. Looking for a path within a homotopy class constrains the search into a specific area of the search space, speeding up the...
