A MOBILE ROBOT PATH PLANNING USING GENETIC ALGORITHM

Abstract

Mobile robot path planning is an important task that involves finding an optimal path from an initial location to a goal. This paper presents a novel approach to this problem utilizing a genetic algorithm. The proposed approach formulates the problem as an optimization problem, where the objective is to minimize the total cost of a given path. The genetic algorithm is then used to search for an optimal solution, which is found by evolving a population of paths over multiple generations. The proposed approach is tested and evaluated using a simulated robotic environment, and the results demonstrate its efficacy in finding optimal paths.
