Research on Three‐Dimensional Autonomous Obstacle Avoidance Path Planning Methods for UAVs
Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies, Volume 37, Issue 2, February 2026.This study presents a three‐dimensional autonomous obstacle‐avoidance path planning method for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) based on a deep reinforcement learning (DRL)‐enhanced Mayfly Algorithm. The traditional Mayfly Algorithm suffers from issues such as random initial population generation and slow convergence.
