Lévy Flight Shuffle Frog Leaping Algorithm Based on Differential Perturbation and Quasi-Newton Search by Xinming Zhang, Zihao Fu, Haiyan Chen, Wentao Mao, Shangwang Liu, Guoqi Liu

“…Firstly, the way of updating only one solution which is the worst one at every sub-iteration in LSFLA is replaced with an all-solution updating way in the subgroup to improve the probability of obtaining the best solution, to omit one sorting step at every sub-iteration and the sub-iteration number parameter setting, to reduce the computational complexity and to enhance the optimization efficiency. Secondly, a random differential perturbation approach and an improved Lévy flight updating one are created and used in the subgroup updating to form DLSFLA, that is, the first half frogs in the subgroup use the random differential perturbation updating approach to improve the global search ability, and the last half adopt the improved Lévy flight updating method to keep the advantage of the Lévy flight updating method and overcome its defects. …”

Autonomous walking path planning of underground handling robot based on improved A* and DWA algorithm by Kekun ZHANG, Jiusheng BAO, Junwei AI, Xiaoming YUAN, Yan YIN, Maosen WANG, Shirong GE

“…Besides, aiming at the problem that the traditional DWA algorithm has poor running time and path length, the predictive path evaluation function is constructed by coordinating the constraints of underground roadway speed limit, mobile chassis drive motor limit and handling robot braking distance limit, and the obstacle evaluation sub-function is introduced to improve the DWA algorithm by measuring safety and efficiency. The simulation results show that the planned path length and autonomous walking time based on the improved DWA algorithm are shortened by 31.27% and 42.33% respectively, which effectively improves the dynamic obstacle avoidance ability and path planning performance of the handling robot. …”
