The existing particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm has the disadvantages of application limitations and slow convergence speed when solving the problem of mobile robot path planning. This paper proposes an improved PSO integration scheme based on improved details, which integrates uniform distribution, exponential attenuation inertia weight, cubic spline interpolation function, and learning factor of enhanced control. Compared with other standard functions, our improved PSO (IPSO) can achieve better optimal results with less number of iteration steps than the different four path planning algorithms developed in the existing literature. IPSO makes the optimal path length with less than 20 iteration steps and reduces the path length and simulation time by 2.8% and 1.1 seconds, respectively.
The problem of global optimal evaluation for multi-robot allocation has gained attention constantly, especially in a multi-objective environment, but most algorithms based on swarm intelligence are difficult to give a convergent result. For solving the problem, we established a Global Optimal Evaluation of Revenue method of multi-robot for multi-tasks based on the real textile combing production workshop, consumption, and different task characteristics of mobile robots. The Global Optimal Evaluation of Revenue method could traversal calculates the profit of each robot corresponding to different tasks with global traversal over a finite set, then an optimization result can be converged to the global optimal value avoiding the problem that individual optimization easy to fall into local optimal results. In the numerical simulation, for fixed set of multi-object and multi-task, we used different numbers of robots allocation operation. We then compared with other methods: Hungarian, the auction method, and the method based on game theory. The results showed that Global Optimal Evaluation of Revenue reduced the number of robots used by at least 17%, and the delay time could be reduced by at least 16.23%.
