The article discusses the procedure for correcting the trajectory of a robotic platform (RTP) on a plane in order to reduce the probability of its defeat/detection in the field of a finite number of repeller sources. Each of these sources is described by a mathematical model of some factor of counteraction to the RTP. This procedure is based, on the one hand, on the concept of a characteristic probability function of a system of repeller sources, which allows us to assess the degree of influence of these sources on the moving RTP. From this concept follows the probability of its successful completion used here as a criterion for optimizing the target trajectory. On the other hand, this procedure is based on solving local optimization problems that allow you to correct individual sections of the initial trajectory, taking into account the location of specific repeller sources with specified parameters in their vicinity. Each of these sources is characterized by the potential, frequency of impact, radius of action, and parameters of the field decay. The trajectory is adjusted iteratively and takes into account the target value of the probability of passing. The main restriction on the variation of the original trajectory is the maximum allowable deviation of the changed trajectory from the original one. If there is no such restriction, then the task may lose its meaning, because then you can select an area that covers all obstacles and sources, and bypass it around the perimeter. Therefore, we search for a local extremum that corresponds to an acceptable curve in the sense of the specified restriction. The iterative procedure proposed in this paper allows us to search for the corresponding local maxima of the probability of RTP passage in the field of several randomly located and oriented sources, in some neighborhood of the initial trajectory. First, the problem of trajectory optimization is set and solved under the condition of movement in the field of single source with the scope in the form of a circular sector, then the result is extended to the case of several similar sources. The main problem of the study is the choice of the General form of the functional at each point of the initial curve, as well as its adjustment coefficients. It is shown that the selection of these coefficients is an adaptive procedure, the input variables of which are characteristic geometric values describing the current trajectory in the source field. Standard median smoothing procedures are used to eliminate oscillations that occur as a result of the locality of the proposed procedure. The simulation results show the high efficiency of the proposed procedure for correcting the previously planned trajectory.
This article proposes algorithms for planning and controlling the movement of a mobile robot in a two-dimensional stationary environment with obstacles. The task is to reduce the length of the planned path, take into account the dynamic constraints of the robot and obtain a smooth trajectory. To take into account the dynamic constraints of the mobile robot, virtual obstacles are added to the map to cover the unfeasible sectors of the movement. This way of accounting for dynamic constraints allows the use of map-oriented methods without increasing their complexity. An improved version of the rapidly exploring random tree algorithm (multi-parent nodes RRT – MPN-RRT) is proposed as a global planning algorithm. Several parent nodes decrease the length of the planned path in comprise with the original one-node version of RRT. The shortest path on the constructed graph is found using the ant colony optimization algorithm. It is shown that the use of two-parent nodes can reduce the average path length for an urban environment with a low building density. To solve the problem of slow convergence of algorithms based on random search and path smoothing, the RRT algorithm is supplemented with a local optimization algorithm. The RRT algorithm searches for a global path, which is smoothed and optimized by an iterative local algorithm. The lower-level control algorithms developed in this article automatically decrease the robot’s velocity when approaching obstacles or turning. The overall efficiency of the developed algorithms is demonstrated by numerical simulation methods using a large number of experiments.
