Cell A* for Navigation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Partially-known Environments

16 Sep 2020  ·  Wenjian Hao, Rongyao Wang, Alexander Krolicki, Yiqiang Han ·

Proper path planning is the first step of robust and efficient autonomous navigation for mobile robots. Meanwhile, it is still challenging for robots to work in a complex environment without complete prior information. This paper presents an extension to the A* search algorithm and its variants to make the path planning stable with less computational burden while handling long-distance tasks. The implemented algorithm is capable of online searching for a collision-free and smooth path when heading to the defined goal position. This paper deploys the algorithm on the autonomous drone platform and implements it on a remote control car for algorithm efficiency validation.
