| Resumo: | Autonomous navigation in mobile robots is a complex challenge, particularly in unknown and dynamic environments where obstacle avoidance and real-time trajectory optimization are crucial. This work introduces the MetaHeuristic Real-Time Safe Navigation (MHRTSN) strategy, which integrates potential fields with population-based metaheuristics to enhance trajectory planning and navigation efficiency. The proposed strategy was evaluated through a series of simulations in different static and dynamic scenarios, comparing the performance of two versions: MetaHeuristic Real-Time Safe Navigation with Genetic Algorithm (MHRTSN-GA) and MetaHeuristic Real-Time Safe Navigation with Particle Swarm Optimization (MHRTSN-PSO). The evaluation considered key metrics such as displacement, distance traveled, CPU time, and clock time. The results indicate that both versions provide sub-optimal solutions, with MHRTSN-PSO demonstrating superior performance in terms of computational efficiency and convergence when using a small population size. Comparisons with existing approaches in the literature revealed that MHRTSN generated paths of similar length while maintaining a safer distance from obstacles. Thus, the proposed approach offers an efficient and safe solution for autonomous navigation in mobile robots, contributing to advancements in real-world robotic applications. |
