Multi Objective optimization based Path Planning in robotics using nature inspired algorithms: A survey

Abstract

Path Planning is one of the exclusive research area in the Robotics. It basically focuses on the robot motion from the initial position to final position such that it must avoid the hurdles and finally reach the goal in optimal path. But it is not an easy task because many conditions are included for the efficiency of final result like working on different environments, known or unknown target etc. Conventional methods, are not suitable because of their limitations. To compensate the problem the nature inspired algorithms are applied in the path planning. These algorithms can efficiently work for different optimization problems. The Multi Objective optimization is applied to path planning techniques using nature inspired algorithms can perform well in different scenarios thereby increasing the overall efficiency of the algorithms.
