Original Abstract

In this paper, we deal with mobile robot path planning in two-dimensional continuous space in which known static polygonal obstacles are defined. The aim of the path planning is finding a path from a start to a goal position without collisions with known obstacles minimizing an evaluation function. We investigate the possibilities of using genetic algorithms for solving this problem and describe various problem-specific genetic operators and fitness functions. We study also the ability of the proposed algorithm to adapt a previous solution to changes of start and/or goal positions and changes in the environment. Results of computational experiments are presented.
