Safe Path Planning of Mobile Robot Based on Improved A* Algorithm in Complex Terrains

The A* algorithm has been widely investigated and applied in path planning problems, but it does not fully consider the safety and smoothness of the path. Therefore, an improved A* algorithm is presented in this paper. Firstly, a new environment modeling method is proposed in which the evaluation fu...
