Simulation Research of Path Planning for Robots Detecting the Forest Fire Source
Jun Chen · Journal of Agricultural Mechanization Research · 2008
The fireproofing in forest areas is one of the important works relating to the country forest industry. This text predigests the work space of the robots detecting the forest-fire with grid method, applies an ant colony algorithm into planning paths for the barriers and local objects in the detecting areas, and makes lots of simulation experiments. The simulation results show that the proposed ant colony algorithm is simple, speedy and efficient, especially fits into overcoming the path planning in complicated environment for robots. This algorithm establishes a base for the automatism search and approach of the plane heat fountainhead’s optimal path in a large area as forest.
