Abstract

Path planning for mobile robots is an important topic in modern robotics studies. This paper proposes a new approach to collision-free path planning problem for mobile robots using the particle swarm optimization combined with chaos iterations. The particle swarm optimization algorithm is run to get the global best particle as the candidate solution, and then local chaotic search iterations are employed to improve the solution precision. The effectiveness of the approach is demonstrated by three simulation examples.
