Abstract

Existing path planning algorithms are capable of finding physically feasible, shortest, and energy-efficient paths for mobile robots navigating on uneven terrains. However, shortest paths on uneven terrains are often energy inefficient while energy-optimal paths usually take long time to be traversed. Therefore, due to time and energy constraints imposed on mobile robots, these shortest and energy-optimal paths might not be applicable. We propose a multiobjective path planner that can find pareto-optimal solutions in terms of path length and energy consumption. It is based on NAMOA - search algorithm that utilizes a proposed monotone heuristic cost function. The simulation results show that nondominated path options found by the proposed path planner can be very useful in many real-world applications.
