Path Planning of Gas Micro-leakage Quadruped Inspection Robot Based on Improved A*Algorithm
Aiming at the requirement of path planning of the quadruped robot in urban gas micro-leakage inspection,a path acquisition method for gas inspection of quadruped robots based on improved A*algorithm was proposed.Firstly,the grid method was used to construct a two-dimensional working map of the quadruped robot.Then,the heuristic function of A*algorithm was improved,and the adaptive adjustment strategy was introduced to reduce the number of search nodes and make the search path less prone to local optimal.Finally,the improved A*algorithm achieved the expected effect when evaluating from path length,average search time and number of search nodes.Using MATLAB2016b as the simulation software,the simulation results show that the improved A*algorithm successfully completes the pathfinding task.Compared with the classical A*algorithm,the average search time of the improved algorithm is reduced by 52.13%,and the number of search nodes is reduced by 30.23%.The algorithm has higher search efficiency in the path planning of maps with size less than 200 × 200.
