Real Time Robot Path Planning and Cleaning
Abstract
The paper tackles the robot path planning problem with additional capacity constraints. We present new optimization model based on Constraint Programming. The emphasis is put on several comparisons including the pure CP solver performance, solution convergence, and application of the model within other local search methods. Experiments indicate fairly decent CP performance on smaller instances. Embedding CP into local search methods improves the runtime/convergence performance, and satisfiable solutions are found even under severe time constraints.
