Abstract

In order to ensure that the agricultural AGV spend least time in the multi-point monitoring process, this paper analyzes the characteristics of the ridge farmland and proposes a path planning algorithm in the ridge farmland based on ant colony algorithm. The actual distance between each monitoring point is discussed in detail. The problem of path planning of multi-point measurement in ridge farmland is transformed into TSP problem. By establishing a suitable model and using Matlab to simulate the path planning algorithm, the results show that the algorithm is feasible.
