Optimal path planning with hybrid firefly algorithm and cuckoo search optimisation
Monica Sood, Vinod Kumar Panchal · International Journal of Advanced Intelligence Paradigms · 2024
Path planning is one of the extensively studied problems in robotics, simulations and gaming, computer graphics, very large-scale integration (VLSI), and many more. In this paper, a hybrid algorithm is proposed by combining the properties of swarm intelligence based cuckoo search and Firefly algorithm techniques to identify the optimum path from defined source to destination without any obstacle collision. The multi agent firefly algorithm makes use of the levy flight property for the random movement of fireflies and put forth the best path from defined source to destination without colliding with any of the obstacle. The property of clever cuckoo's brood parasitic behaviour of imitating the pattern of host's egg is used by fireflies to handle the present obstacles in the path. The obtained experimental results work in an adequately acceptable agreement with the proposed hybrid algorithm in comparison with individual cuckoo search and firefly algorithm.
