- Abstract:
-
To address the problems associated with the traditional rapidly-exploring random tree* (RRT*) algorithm, including its slow convergence rate and unsuitability for dynamic environments, we propose an improved RRT* algorithm. This new approach biases toward the target point and eliminates redundant nodes to efficiently find collision-free optimal paths for mobile robots. The improved algorithm begins by optimizing the sampling points, which ensures the discovery of the optimal path while reducing search time. Then, it introduces the concept of path maximization to identify and remove redundant nodes from the extended tree, thereby enhancing algorithm efficiency. Additionally, the improved algorithm is integrated with the dynamic window approaches algorithm, which enhances the safety and smoothness of the path and enables effective obstacle avoidance in dynamic environments. Simulations conducted on three different maps demonstrate that the improved algorithm significantly improves path quality and greatly reduces running time.
