This research project explores all the different types of algorithms fully autonomous, unmanned vehicles use and compare and contrast aspects of each algorithm in order to determine which algorithms are more efficient. Gaining a clearer understanding of all the algorithms used can allow us to detect current flaws within the algorithms faster and improve the algorithms. Over the course of this project, the data collected will be both qualitative and quantitative data from reputable sources, including academic papers and scientific journals. The research should demonstrate the commonalities amongst the algorithms, what the most efficient algorithm is, and why it is the most efficient.
