Modified continuous Ant Colony Optimisation for multiple Unmanned Ground Vehicle path planning

作者:

Highlights:

• A new ACOPARis designed for optimising the path for each UGV.

• A new random-walk strategy switching between Brownian and Cauchy motion is designed.

• Adaptive waypoints-repair-strategy to improve search accuracy and scalability.

• Multi-agent coordination is designed to avoid the collision among UGVs.

• Experiments validate the superiority of ACOPAR, especially on complex problems.
