Mobile Robot Path Planning Considering Obstacle Gap Features by Hongwei Wang, Li He, Shuai Zhang, Ruoyang Bai, Yunhang Wang

“…Specifically, this method addresses the issues of low search efficiency, excessive redundant points, and poor path quality in the traditional A* algorithm for global path planning by extracting gap grids in the global grid map and incorporating their influence into the heuristic function, thereby guiding the search more effectively. The generated global path is further optimized at gap points to remove redundant nodes. …”
