The path planning issue of the underactuated autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) under ocean current disturbance is studied in this paper. In order to improve the AUV’s path planning capability in the unknown environments, a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) path planning method based on double deep Q Network (DDQN) is proposed. It is created from an improved convolutional neural network, which has two input layers to adapt to the processing of high-dimensional environments. Considering the maneuverability of underactuated AUV under current disturbance, especially, the issue of ocean current disturbance under unknown environments, a dynamic and composite reward function is developed to enable the AUV to reach the destination with obstacle avoidance. Finally, the path planning ability of the proposed method in the unknown environments is validated by simulation analysis and comparison studies.
