The application of the improved potential grid method in robot path planning

Abstract

An improved potential grid method is devised by combining potential field method with grid method,which can make up the shortcomings of potential field method through setting grid attribute and is applied to static global path planning of the mobile robot.Simulation is carried out with Visual C++6.0.The results indicate that this method can overcome the shortcomings of simple potential filed and grid method,and it is feasible and effective in path planning.
