Autonomous navigation of vehicles is the most relevant topic in the current decade. A huge body of work has been carried out toward this. As more and more new technologies emerge, new improvements are seen in the methods and the available LIDAR sensors. This work studies the current state-of-the-art algorithms available for autonomous navigation and the adaptation of data from new LIDAR types into these state-of-the-art algorithms. It also tries to understand if any improvements can be achieved by using a different type of LIDAR sensor in the existing state of the algorithms.
