Abstract

Aiming at solving the dynamic real-time obstacle avoidance problem of multi-robots, the artificial potential field method is adopted. The traditional artificial potential field method has local minimum and target unreachable ability problems. Redefining the repulsion function makes the robot not mistakenly use a additional point, so that reaching the target point ,it can solve the problem that the multi-robot performing collision avoidance in real time in the case of dynamic obstacles, connected realizing the optimal path planning from the source coordinate point to the target coordinate point, and through the simulation verification method accuracy and feasibility.
