A cooperative hunting algorithm of multi-AUV in 3-D dynamic environment

A Multi-AUV cooperative hunting algorithm based on Bio-inspired neural network is proposed for 3-D dynamic environment in this paper. Firstly, based on the establishment of biological inspired neural network model, AUV working environment is represent by it, there is one-to-one correspondence between each neuron in neural network and the position of the grid map of underwater environment. Then the guidance of neurons provides high efficient path planning for each hunting AUV and finally the target is surrounded by AUVs. Lastly, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, simulation results are given in this paper.
