A Path Planner Based on Multivariant Optimization Algorithm
A heuristic intelligent path planning method based on the multivariant optimization algorithm and the Bezier curve is presented.The path planning problem is transformed into an optimization problem through using the Bezier curve to represent a path in this method.Then
the multivariant optimization algorithm is applied to find the optimal control points of the best Bezier curve
aiming at finding the optimal path.The multivariant optimization algorithm searches the solution space through iterations of alternative global and local search.According to the different responsibilities
the search individuals (atoms) could be divided into two types:the global atoms and the local atoms.In each iteration
global atoms explore the whole solution space to local potential areas
and then
local atoms exploit each potential area.Obviously
atoms are characterized by multivariant responsibilities
hence the name of the multivariant optimization algorithm.The good performance of the multivariant optimization algorithm is ensured by the efficient communication and cooperation of multivariant atoms.To evaluate the performance of the multivariant optimization algorithm
comparative experiments against the other three classical heuristic path planning algorithms are carried out based on a standard testing map.The results show that our proposed method is superior to the other methods in optimality
