  • Abstract
    The feasibility of drifter studies in complex and tidally forced water networks has been greatly expanded by the introduction of motorized floating sensors. This paper presents a method for such motorized sensors to accomplish obstacle avoidance and path selection using the solutions to Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman-Isaacs (HJBI) equations. The method is then validated experimentally.
