Multi-stage bidirectional informed-RRT * plant protection UAV path planning method based on A * algorithm domain guidance by Jian Li, Jian Li, Yuan Gao, Yuan Gao, Zheng Li, Zheng Li, Weijian Zhang, Weijian Zhang, Weilin Yu, Weilin Yu, Yating Hu, He Liu, Changtian Li

“…Experimental results show that, compared to traditional RRT* and its improved variants, the proposed algorithm reduces computation time by 56.3%–92.5% and shortens path length by 0.42%–8.5%, while also demonstrating superior path smoothness and feasibility, as well as a more balanced distribution of search nodes. Comprehensive analysis indicates that the A*-MSRRT* (A*-Guided Multi-stage Bidirectional Informed-RRT*) algorithm has strong potential for application in complex agricultural environments.…”
