The extent of autonomy in path planning for a UAV primarily depends upon the capabilities of its algorithm.The diversity in UAV applications and an abundance of choices in autonomous path planning algorithms are swelling every day, so the selection of most appropriate algorithm gets baffling.The past two decades of research on UAVs revealed that seventy percent of it had been published in the previous three and a half years.Hence, a comprehensive survey study was proposed and conducted to obtain an overview of the recent developments in autonomous path planning applications and their respective algorithms.This article presents a summary of the survey and suggests most suitable path planning algorithms for a UAV application.
