Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to solve the problems of poor stability and high energy consumption of the dynamic window algorithm (DWA) for the mobile robots, a novel enhanced dynamic window algorithm is proposed in this paper.
Design/methodology/approach
The novel algorithm takes the distance function as the weight of the target-oriented coefficient, and a new evaluation function is presented to optimize the azimuth angle.
Findings
The jitter of the mobile robot caused by the drastic change of angular velocity is reduced when the robot is closer to the target point. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm effectively optimizes the stability of the mobile robot during operation with lower angular velocity dispersion and less energy consumption, but with a slightly higher running time than DWA.
Originality/value
A novel enhanced dynamic window algorithm is proposed and verified. According to the experimental result, the proposed algorithm can reduce the energy consumption of the robot and improves the efficiency of the robot.
