This paper presents the Markov Decision Process(MDP) based online path planning algorithm for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). It is not suitable for path planning to be implemented online due to the high memory requirement of the general MDP by taking into account the limited computational resources. This paper presents a novel algorithm suitable for online implementation by approximating the grid map using a multiresolution grid decomposition technique and redefining the data structure required for the MDP by considering the connectivity for various gird sizes. The performance of the proposed algorithm is verified through the numerical simulation, which shows that the proposed algorithm is more efficient than the general MDP in terms of the computational throughput as well as the memory requirement. In addition, the applicability of the proposed algorithm to real systems is determined using the developed high-fidelity integrated simulator. Through this simulation, it is confirmed that the proposed algorithm can safely reach the destination by planning the path online and flying according to the planned result.
