Abstract:

It is difficult for single-objective trajectory planning methods to meet the requirements of precision, diversity and complexity of robotic arms. A trajectory planning model based on an improved multi-objective differential evolution algorithm (guided multi-objective differential evolution, GMODE) algorithm is proposed. Cubic polynomial interpolation and B-spline curves are employed to construct multi-objective functions, while GMODE is adopted to overcome the limitations of traditional algorithms, such as insufficient population diversity, the tendency to fall into local optima, and slow convergence. A grouping strategy, parameter generation mechanism, and elite mutation based on fuzzy C-means clustering are introduced to optimize B-spline control nodes. Simulation experiments demonstrate that the proposed method achieves excellent performance in terms of time, energy, and impact. Furthermore, the incorporation of adaptive weights significantly enhances multi-objective performance.
