Parallel collaborative planning for the coupled system of underground heavy-load robot

At present, designing and planning of robots are mainly based on path planning. This mode cannot meet requirements of real-time and precise planning for robots, especially under complex working conditions. Therefore, a parallel collaborative planning strategy is proposed in this paper, which parallel collaborates optimal task allocation planning and optimal local path planning. That is, according to real-time dynamic working environment of robots, the dynamic optimal task allocation planning strategy for coupled system of robot in low coupling state is adopted, to improve real-time working efficiency of underground heavy-load robot. Meanwhile, the parallel elite particle swarm optimization algorithm is adopted to improve accuracy of path tracking and controlling. Finally, the two planning strategies are collaborated parallel to realize intelligent and efficient planning of whole complex coupled system for underground heavy-load robot. The simulation and experiment results show that the parallel collaborative planning algorithm proposed in this paper has perfect controlling effects: Total flow of overall system is saved by 11.03 L, execution time saved by 16.8 s and implementation efficiency has been improved by 10 times. Therefore, the parallel collaborative planning strategy proposed in this paper can not only meet requirements of high efficiency and precision of intelligent robot under complex working conditions, but also greatly improve real-time working effectiveness and robustness of robots, so as to provide a reference for dynamic planning of complex intelligent engineering machinery, and also supply design basis for development of multi-robot collaborative system.
