Experimental performance evaluation of various path planning algorithms for obstacle avoidance in UAVs

This paper presents the experimental results of the path generated by a few widely accepted path planning algorithms used for stationary obstacle avoidance in UAVs. The algorithms evaluated were Dijkstra, A*, Artificial Potential Field planning, RRT and RRT*. The evaluation parameters for these algorithms were the length of the path, maximum deviation angle, and the clearance between the path and the obstacles.
