Enhancing 2D Path Search and PID Control for Autonomous Mobile Robots: A* Algorithm Optimization and Hardware

Abstract

Intelligent autonomous mobile robots find diverse applications across various fields. This article delves into the optimization of path search planning and implementation for these robots in specific scenarios. The study enhances the traditional right-hand principle's search strategy, integrating a forward-looking approach grounded in the goal-oriented law with A* algorithm path planning. Emphasizing the algorithm's lightweight and high efficiency, the study also considers its interaction with hardware systems. The real-world application scenario is abstracted into a two-dimensional planar environment. Collaborative efforts between hardware and software systems result in a comprehensive robot system, validated through tests ensuring swift navigation from the starting point to the endpoint along the planned path.
