Path planning is an important part of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to realize its autonomous capabilities. Aiming at the shortcomings of the traditional ant colony algorithm-based trajectory planning method, which has slow convergence speed and easy to fall into the local optimum, a path planning method based on the improved ant colony algorithm is proposed. First, a dynamic adjusting factor is added into the heuristic function to improve the directivity of path selection and search speed. Then, the state transition strategy is improved to solve the problem of slow convergence in the initial stage and easy to fall into local optimum in the later stage. Finally, the path inflection point is smoothly optimized through the cubic B-spline curve. Simulation results show that the improved ant colony algorithm can quickly converge to the optimal path and well adapt to the flight requirements of multirotor UAV.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
