Comparison between Meta-Heuristic Algorithms for Path Planning

Resumo


Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has been increasingly employed in several missions with a pre-defined path. Over the years, UAV has become necessary in complex environments, where it demands high computational cost and execution time for traditional algorithms. To solve this problem meta-heuristic algorithms are used. Meta-heuristics are generic algorithms to solve problems without having to describe each step until the result and search for the best possible answer in an acceptable computational time. The simulations are made in Python, with it, a statistical analyses was realized based on execution time and path length between algorithms Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) and Glowworm Swarm Optimization (GSO). Despite the GWO returns the paths in a shorter time, the PSO showed better performance with similar execution time and shorter path length. However, the reliability of the algorithms will depend on the size of the environment. PSO is less reliable in large environments, while the GWO maintains the same reliability.
