To address the inefficiency of the traditional artificial potential field method in complex environment for obstacle avoidance, the basic potential field function of the traditional artificial potential field method is improved, and the traditional spherical potential field is proposed to be improved to ellipsoidal potential field, and the improved algorithm is compared and simulated in MATLAB. The results show that the improved artificial potential field method satisfies the UAV to have high efficiency of safety and passability in obstacle avoidance trajectory planning in complex 3D environment.
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.
