Abstract

Ant colony algorithm is an intelligent bionic optimization algorithm. Its self-organization and intelligence provide guiding for studying the global path planning problem. Based on this, an improved ant colony algorithm is proposed to solve the problem of robotic path planning and improved the convergence speed. The environment model is established by grid method and the traditional ant colony algorithm is improved. The heuristic factor and pheromone updating strategy of the algorithm are improved to enhance the precision of the algorithm and the ability of later convergence. Simulation experiments show that the improved algorithm has a faster convergence speed to achieve the optimal path compared with other algorithms. It shows that the improved algorithm is effective and reliable.
