Deep Reinforcement Learning for Autonomous Underwater Navigation: A Comparative Study with DWA and Digital Twin Validation
Zamirddine Mari, Mohamad Motasem Nawaf, Pierre Drap
Autonomous navigation in underwater environments is challenged by the absence of GPS, degraded visibility, and submerged obstacles. This article investigates these issues using the BlueROV2, an open platform for scientific experimentation. We propose a deep reinforcement learning…
