Abstract

Mobile robots are used extensively across a variety of industries and fields. How to discover a start-to-end path without colliding has become a hot topic in recent years due to the complexity and uncertainty of the workplace. In various environments, a path planning technique should demonstrate high efficiency and speed. And this can reduce the energy consumption of the robots and greatly increase their working efficiency. This paper will conclude the presently popular path planning algorithm. Based on the different features of these algorithms, they are divided into three types: traditional path planning algorithm, neural-work-based algorithm, and sampling-based algorithm. Based on the new papers in these years, detailed introduction of the algorithms and their variants will be given. At the end of the paper, the thesis is summarized and the future research trend is prospected.
