文摘An on-line path planning algorithm based on Bezier curves is presented for underwater vehicles. Aiming at the special requirements of underwater vehicles and 3D enviromnent, the algorithm consists of two steps ： the generation of spatial path and the processing of some constraints. A path for underwater vehicles is planned, which satisfies the velocity constraint and the centripetal acceleration constraint of underwater vehicles. The proposed path planning method can be used for the vehicle＇ s locomotion and navigation control.
