Mobile robot path planning using hybrid genetic algorithm and traversability vectors method

The shortest/optimal path generation is essential for the efficient operation of a mobile robot. Recent advances in robotics and machine intelligence have led to the application of modern optimization method such as the genetic algorithm (GA), to solve the path-planning problem. However, the genetic...
