Synergistic Hierarchical AI Framework for USV Navigation: Closing the Loop Between Swin-Transformer Perception, T-ASTAR Planning, and Energy-Aware TD3 Control by Haonan Ye, Hongjun Tian, Qingyun Wu, Yihong Xue, Jiayu Xiao, Guijie Liu, Yang Xiong

“…The framework integrates (1) a novel adaptation of the Swin-Transformer to generate a dense, semantic risk map from raw visual data, enabling the system to interpret ambiguous marine conditions like sun glare and choppy water, enabling real-time environmental understanding crucial for guidance; (2) a Transformer-enhanced A-star (T-ASTAR) algorithm with spatio-temporal attentional guidance to generate globally near-optimal and energy-aware static paths; (3) a domain-adapted TD3 agent featuring a novel energy-aware reward function that optimizes for USV hydrodynamic constraints, making it suitable for long-endurance missions tailored for USVs to perform dynamic local path optimization and real-time obstacle avoidance, forming a key control element; and (4) CUDA acceleration to meet the computational demands of real-time ocean engineering applications. …”
