  • Abstract
    As a swarm intelligence, ant colony algorithm (ACA) is widely used to solve the path planning problem. But ACA applied to the path planning has some disadvantages such as fall into local optimization easily and low convergence. In order to overcome these defects, we improved the ant colony algorithm by changing heuristic factor. The experiment results indicate that the improved algorithm performs better original algorithm.
