Multiobjective path optimization of an indoor AGV based on an improved ACO-DWA.

With their intelligence, flexibility, and other characteristics, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) have been popularized and promoted in traditional industrial markets and service industry markets. Compared with traditional transportation methods, AGVs can effectively reduce costs and improve the efficiency of problem solving in various application developments, but they also lead to serious path-planning problems. Especially in large-scale and complex map environments, it is difficult for a single algorithm to plan high-quality moving paths for AGVs, and the algorithm solution efficiency is constrained.
