Abstract

In the field of obstacle avoidance path planning, the traditional Rapidly-Exploring Random Tree (RRT) algorithm has many problems, such as no direction and low efficiency. So it is often used to adjust the growth direction of random tree nodes by introducing a target bias strategy to decrease the search blindness. On this basis, the end movement distance and the variation range of each joint during the manipulator trajectory planning process have been focused on in this paper. Considering the requirements of the speed of the planning executable trajectory and the smoothness of the moving process, a cost function about the path length and the smooth change of the joints has been designed. Then, under the premise of the stability of the path planning results, an improved RRT algorithm on dynamical adjustment of the new nodes generation has been proposed to increase the planning efficiency obviously. Its feasibility and effectiveness have been verified fully by a series of simulation experiments based on MATLAB platform.
