Robot path planning is to find the best path for robot movement considering the interference of surrounding obstacles. In this paper, the feasible region is rasterized and the robot path planning problem is transformed into abstract space that can be dealt with. In order to improve the computational efficiency, the improved particle swarm optimization algorithm combined with artificial potential field method was used to find the best moving path in the grid environment. Bessel curve is used for final smoothing operation to solve the problem of multiple path breaks in grid environment and obtain the final moving path. An example shows that this method can overcome the shortcomings of traditional algorithms and intelligent algorithms in robot path planning, and has strong search and convergence ability.
