Comparative Study of Different Path Planning Algorithms: A Water based Rescue System

摘要

There are many countries in the world where water is the main medium for earning livelihood and transportation. Such countries are situated mainly in the over-populated South Asian region. As the water is the meaning of life there; it is also the main reason of threat. Many water borne natural disasters, mechanical failure of manmade water vehicles and sometimes manmade inventions like looting, hijacking put the people in dangerous situation. For rescuing people from being stuck in water, we present a system which can provide a minimum cost, least time rescue operation automatically. We are going to use artificial intelligence (AI) and the concept of mobile robots to represents the proposed system. To find the minimum cost and time, we will consider all available search algorithms. We will also present a comparative result, to find out the most suitable algorithm that can provide us the best results.
