Genetic Algorithm-based Robot Path Planning

摘要

Nowadays, building an intelligent robot that able to move by itself from one location to another without collides with other obstacles is of interest in many applications. In the real world, condition of an environment is always unpredictable and changes with the existence of dynamic obstacles. This paper tends to propose an algorithm for robot path planning in a dynamic environment using Genetic algorithm (GA) technique. The proposed algorithm is able to find an optimum path for a robot and avoid any static and dynamic obstacles. The variation of the proposed algorithm is shown with the implementation of the algorithm in 4-way movement robot and 8-way movement robot. The simulation results show significant performance of the algorithm when compared with real optimum path.
