contents Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) in the ocean environment, considering various spatiotemporal factors such as ocean currents and other energy consumption factors. The paper uses Gaussian Process Motion Planning (GPMP2), a Bayesian optimization method that has shown promising results in continuous and nonlinear motion planning algorithms. The proposed work improves GPMP2 by incorporating a new spatiotemporal factor for tracking and predicting ocean currents using a spatiotemporal Bayesian inference. The algorithm is applied to the USV path planning and is shown to optimize for smoothness, obstacle avoidance, and ocean currents in a challenging environment. The work is relevant for practical applications in ocean scenarios where optimal path planning for USVs is essential for minimizing costs and optimizing performance.
