Differential evolution and underwater glider path planning applied to the short-term opportunistic sampling of dynamic mesoscale ocean structures
Differential evolution algorithm is applied to underwater glider path planning. Underwater glider kinematic simulation with daily and hourly sea currents prediction. Experimental set with trajectories avoiding islands and spatially changing scenarios. Suggested jDE/best/1/bin outperforms compared optimization algorithms and ranks top. A real case glider vessel mission is commanded using the proposed approach.
