Path planning is a core technology for mobile robots. However, existing state-of-the-art methods suffer from issues such as excessive path redundancy, too many turning points, and poor environmental adaptability. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel global and local fusion path-planning algorithm. For global path planning, we reduce path redundancy and excessive turning points by designing a new heuristic function and constructing an improved path generation method. For local path planning, we propose an environment-aware dynamic parameter adjustment strategy, incorporating deviation and avoidance dynamic obstacle evaluation factors, thus addressing issues of local optima and timely avoidance of dynamic obstacles. Finally, we fuse those global and local path-planning improvements to form our fusion path-planning algorithm, which can enhance the robot's adaptability to complex scenarios while reducing path redundancy and turning points. Simulation experiments demonstrate that the improved fusion path-planning algorithm not only effectively addresses existing issues but also operates with higher efficiency.

To address the design and application requirements for USVs (Unmanned Surface Vehicles) to autonomously escape from constrained environments using a minimal number of sensors, we propose a path planning algorithm based on the RRT* (Rapidly Exploring Random Tree*) method, referred to as BN-RRT* (Blind Navigation Rapidly Exploring Random Tree*). This algorithm utilizes the positioning information provided by the GPS onboard the USV and combines collision detection data from collision sensors to navigate out of the trapped space. To mitigate the inherent randomness of the RRT* algorithm, we integrate the Artificial Potential Field (APF) method to enhance directional guidance during the sampling process.

Objective: To minimize variations in treatment outcomes of L5/S1 percutaneous intervertebral radiofrequency thermocoagulation (PIRFT) arising from physician proficiency and achieve precise quantitative risk assessment of the puncture paths.

Methods: We used a self-developed deep neural network DWT-UNet for automatic segmentation of the magnetic resonance (MR) images of the L5/S1 segments into 7 key structures: L5, S1, Ilium, Disc, N5, Dura mater, and Skin, based on which a needle insertion path planning environment was modeled. Six hard constraints and 6 soft constraints were proposed based on clinical criteria for needle insertion, and the physician's experience was quantified into weights using the analytic hierarchy process and incorporated into the risk function for needle insertion paths to enhance individual case adaptability.

Aiming at the problems of chameleon swarm algorithm (CSA), such as slow convergence speed, poor robustness, and ease of falling into the local optimum, a multi-strategy improved chameleon optimization algorithm (ICSA) is herein proposed. Firstly, logistic mapping was introduced to initialize the chameleon population to improve the diversity of the initial population. Secondly, in the prey-search stage, the sub-population spiral search strategy was introduced to improve the global search ability and optimization accuracy of the algorithm.
