Abstract

We propose a hybrid approach, based on the combined use of genetic algorithms, methods and heuristics of local search, and ant colony optimization to solve the dynamic routing problem for a group of underwater robots. Group’s objective involves visiting a certain set of control points (for the purpose of sampling, taking measurements, photos and videos) according to their priority and under given restrictions. The dynamic routing problem here is to find (planning) and adjust (replanning) feasible group routes for robots, ensuring as far as possible the maximum efficiency of the group work.

The reported study was partly funded by RFBR according to the research projects No. 14-07-00740-a, 14-07-31192-mol-a.
