Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is widely applied to various practical problems due to its strong optimization capability and flexibility. However, when tackling complex optimization tasks, it suffers from shortcomings such as premature convergence and an imbalance between global exploration and local exploitation. To address these issues, this study proposes a multi-strategy cooperative particle swarm optimization algorithm (MSCPSO). MSCPSO divides the population into leaders and followers based on fitness and integrates diverse learning strategies to enhance performance. First, a nonlinear adaptive inertia weight is proposed to dynamically adjust inertia according to particle roles, effectively balancing exploration and exploitation. Second, a weighted learning strategy is introduced, which assigns weights based on leader fitness values to guide particles more efficiently toward promising solution regions. Third, a fitness-distance balance mechanism is designed to maintain population diversity in the early stage, accelerate convergence in the later stage, and reduce the probability of falling into local optima. Finally, in the later iterations of the algorithm, a terminal replacement mechanism is designed to replace the worst global particle, reducing population diversity to accelerate convergence. Comparative experiments on CEC2014, CEC2017, and CEC2022 test suites against seven heuristic algorithms, eleven PSO variants, and eight state-of-the-art algorithms show that multi-strategy cooperation significantly enhances PSO performance. MSCPSO outperforms most compared algorithms. Finally, MSCPSO is applied to 3D UAV path planning in complex environments. Across 12 scenarios of varying complexity, MSCPSO demonstrates the ability to generate more feasible and efficient paths in most cases.
粒子群算法以其强大的优化能力和灵活性被广泛应用于各种实际问题。然而,在处理复杂的优化任务时,它存在过早收敛和全局勘探与局部开采不平衡等缺点。针对这些问题,本研究提出了一种多策略协同粒子群优化算法(MSCPSO)。MSCPSO基于适应度将群体划分为领导者和追随者,并整合多种学习策略以提高绩效。首先,提出一种非线性自适应惯性权值,根据粒子的作用动态调整惯性,有效平衡勘探和开采;其次,引入了一种加权学习策略,该策略根据领导者适应度值分配权重,以更有效地引导粒子走向有希望的解区域;第三,设计适应度-距离平衡机制,保持种群早期多样性,加快后期收敛,降低陷入局部最优的概率。最后,在算法的后期迭代中,设计了一种终端替换机制,替换最差的全局粒子,减少种群多样性,加速收敛。在CEC2014、CEC2017和CEC2022测试套件上对7种启发式算法、11种PSO变体和8种最先进算法的对比实验表明,多策略协作显著提高了PSO的性能。MSCPSO优于大多数比较算法。最后,将MSCPSO应用于复杂环境下的无人机路径规划。在12个不同复杂性的场景中,MSCPSO展示了在大多数情况下生成更可行和有效的路径的能力。

Aiming at the state master-slave synchronization problem of discrete-time output-coupled neural networks (OCNNs), this study proposes a novel control framework. Deviating from the existing studies, this study aims at the constraint that the output state cannot obtain all neuron state information, innovatively constructs full-dimensional observers in the master/slave system respectively to realize state reconstruction, which solves the problem of missing reference trajectory caused by incomplete state information of the master system, and realizes state synchronization for the first time under the output-coupled framework. A round-robin (RR) protocol is introduced to dynamically schedule the output-coupled communication among neurons to address the transmission efficiency bottleneck under limited bandwidth resources. To allocate communication resources more intelligently, a novel event-triggered (ET) mechanism is designed. Under this mechanism, the triggering threshold is constructed based on the last triggering instant and is updated according to the most current triggering instant. It significantly reduces overall resource consumption while ensuring control performance. Then, the joint Lyapunov function is constructed based on the designed observer-controller-protocol interaction dynamic model. It derived a quantitative relationship between the triggering frequency and the error decay boundary, thereby providing a quantifiable basis for precision tuning in network control. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by circuit simulation.
针对离散时间输出耦合神经网络(ocnn)的状态主从同步问题,提出了一种新的控制框架。与已有研究不同,本研究针对输出状态无法获取全部神经元状态信息的约束,创新地在主从系统中分别构建全维观测器实现状态重构,解决了主从系统状态信息不完整导致的参考轨迹缺失问题,首次实现了输出耦合框架下的状态同步。引入轮循(RR)协议来动态调度神经元之间的输出耦合通信,以解决有限带宽资源下的传输效率瓶颈。为了更智能地分配通信资源,设计了一种新的事件触发机制。在该机制下,触发阈值根据最后一个触发瞬间构造,并根据最新的触发瞬间更新。它在确保控制性能的同时显著降低了整体资源消耗。然后,基于所设计的观察者-控制器-协议交互动态模型,构造了联合Lyapunov函数。导出了触发频率与误差衰减边界之间的定量关系,从而为网络控制中的精确调谐提供了可量化的依据。最后,通过电路仿真验证了所提方法的有效性。

Multi-UAV cooperative pursuit is an important branch in the field of multi-robot collaboration, widely applied in critical tasks such as cooperative reconnaissance and emergency rescue. Existing researches primarily focus on the constant-speed cooperative pursuit problem in fully observable environments, while paying less attention to the issue of pursuing fast-evading targets in partially observable settings. Therefore, this paper proposes a perception-enhanced multi-agent deep reinforcement learning method to enable pursuing UAVs to learn cooperation through local observations. Firstly, a pursuit judgment model based on Apollonius circle is constructed for the bounded multi-UAV cooperative pursuit problem, and a rigorous theoretical proof is provided for the boundary condition of successful pursuit. Subsequently, a dynamic multi-agent interaction graph is established based on the real-time connectivity among the pursuing UAVs, and then information features are extracted from neighbors using a two-layer graph attention network to enhance their perceptual capability. Finally, a joint reward function incorporating multiple types of rewards is designed to reflect task requirements, and the framework of centralized training with decentralized execution is utilized to train the policies of pursuing UAVs, promoting them to learn autonomous cooperation. To verify the effectiveness of our method, extensive comparative experiments are conducted in various scenarios with different evasion strategies. Experimental results show that in almost all scenarios, our method outperforms other methods in terms of success rate, stability, and time consumption. Notably, it improves the success rate by up to several times (over ten times in some cases) and reduces the average pursuit steps by a maximum of 71.42%.
多无人机协同追踪是多机器人协同领域的一个重要分支,广泛应用于协同侦察、应急救援等关键任务。现有的研究主要集中在完全可观察环境下的恒速协同追捕问题,而对部分可观察环境下快速躲避目标的追捕问题关注较少。因此,本文提出了一种感知增强的多智能体深度强化学习方法,使追击无人机能够通过局部观察学习合作。首先,针对有界多无人机协同追捕问题,建立了基于阿波罗尼乌斯圆的追捕判断模型,并对成功追捕的边界条件提供了严格的理论证明;随后,基于跟踪无人机之间的实时连通性,建立了动态多智能体交互图,然后利用两层图关注网络从邻居中提取信息特征,增强其感知能力。最后,设计了一个包含多种奖励类型的联合奖励函数来反映任务需求,并利用集中训练分散执行的框架来训练无人机的追击策略,促进无人机学习自主合作。为了验证我们的方法的有效性,我们在不同的逃避策略下进行了大量的对比实验。实验结果表明,在几乎所有场景下,我们的方法在成功率、稳定性和耗时方面都优于其他方法。值得注意的是,它将成功率提高了几倍(在某些情况下超过10倍),并将平均追踪步骤减少了71.42%。

Soft sensors are indispensable tools for inferring hard-to-measure quality variables in modern complex industrial processes. However, the training objectives of most deep learning-based soft sensor models typically focus on minimizing point-wise errors, a strategy that often fails to capture crucial process dynamics. This limitation directly compromises the reliability of soft sensor models in practical process control. This paper introduces the Process-Dynamic Guided Fusion Loss (PD-GFL), a model-agnostic, composite loss function designed to address this gap. PD-GFL guides model optimization from three dimensions: (i) aligning slow-varying trends to capture long-term system states, (ii) matching local statistical features to preserve distributional properties, and (iii) synchronizing differential dynamic patterns to ensure the process’s intrinsic inertia and smoothness. These objectives are integrated via an adaptive uncertainty-based weighting scheme, which enables the seamless integration of PD-GFL with diverse deep learning architectures. Extensive experiments on public benchmarks and a real-world industrial dataset demonstrate the superiority of PD-GFL, yielding improvements of up to 30% in MSE and 49% in MAPE over standard training. Notably, PD-GFL empowers a simple MLP backbone to improve its MSE by approximately 6%, achieving accuracy competitive with advanced Transformer models. Our findings show that improving the training objective is an effective alternative to simply making models more complex, offering a practical way to build more reliable and efficient soft sensors for industrial applications.
在现代复杂的工业过程中,软传感器是推断难以测量的质量变量不可或缺的工具。然而,大多数基于深度学习的软传感器模型的训练目标通常集中在最小化逐点误差上,这种策略通常无法捕捉关键的过程动态。这种限制直接影响了软测量模型在实际过程控制中的可靠性。本文介绍了过程动态引导融合损失(PD-GFL),一种与模型无关的复合损失函数,旨在解决这一差距。PD-GFL从三个维度指导模型优化:(i)调整缓慢变化的趋势以捕获长期系统状态,(ii)匹配局部统计特征以保持分布特性,以及(iii)同步差分动态模式以确保过程的固有惯性和平滑性。这些目标通过基于不确定性的自适应加权方案进行集成,从而实现PD-GFL与各种深度学习架构的无缝集成。在公共基准测试和现实世界的工业数据集上进行的大量实验证明了PD-GFL的优越性,与标准训练相比,MSE和MAPE分别提高了30%和49%。值得注意的是,PD-GFL使简单的MLP骨干能够将其MSE提高约6%,实现与先进Transformer模型竞争的精度。我们的研究结果表明,改进训练目标是简单地使模型更复杂的有效替代方案,为工业应用构建更可靠和高效的软传感器提供了一种实用的方法。

Radial Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) enables high acceleration imaging. However, reconstructing high-quality images from highly undersampled k-space data remains a challenge due to the difficulty in accurately estimating coil sensitivity maps from limited autocalibration signal. The autocalibration signal is extracted from the central k-space in existing compressed sensing and deep learning methods. This extraction makes the low-resolution sensitivity maps lack high-frequency details, leading to suboptimal reconstructions. To address this problem, we propose a Joint Sensitivity-learning driven Deep Unfolding Network (JSDU-Net) for accelerated radial MRI. Sensitivity maps are firstly estimated from all available k-space data, including the low and high-frequency parts and then updated in the reconstruction. JSDU-Net unfolds the iterative reconstruction process into a deep neural network and introduces a novel sensitivity learning strategy that alternately updates sensitivity maps and image estimates in each iteration. This joint optimization facilitates accurate sensitivity estimation by capturing high-frequency information. Extensive experiments demonstrate that JSDU-Net achieves superior performance in detail preservation, artifact suppression, and reconstruction efficiency. Blinded evaluations by clinical radiologists show that the reconstructed images exhibit excellent diagnostic value, suggesting the potential of JSDU-Net for clinical applications of radial MRI.
径向磁共振成像(MRI)可以实现高加速度成像。然而,由于难以从有限的自动校准信号中准确估计线圈灵敏度图,因此从高度欠采样的k空间数据中重建高质量图像仍然是一个挑战。在现有的压缩感知和深度学习方法中,自动校准信号是从中心k空间中提取的。这种提取使得低分辨率灵敏度图缺乏高频细节,导致次优重建。为了解决这个问题,我们提出了一个联合灵敏度学习驱动的深度展开网络(JSDU-Net),用于加速径向MRI。首先从所有可用的k空间数据(包括低频和高频部分)估计灵敏度图,然后在重建中更新。JSDU-Net将迭代重建过程展开为一个深度神经网络,并引入了一种新的灵敏度学习策略,在每次迭代中交替更新灵敏度图和图像估计。这种联合优化通过捕获高频信息促进准确的灵敏度估计。大量的实验表明,JSDU-Net在细节保存、伪迹抑制和重建效率等方面都具有优异的性能。临床放射科医师的盲法评价表明,重建图像具有良好的诊断价值,提示JSDU-Net在放射MRI临床应用的潜力。

Accurate instance segmentation of deep-hole inner surface defects is critical for ensuring the structural integrity and functional reliability of high-precision industrial components. However, this task remains highly challenging due to the extreme scarcity of annotated data, along with the irregular morphology, weak texture, and dense, random spatial distribution of defects. Existing instance segmentation methods typically rely on large-scale supervision, which is prohibitively expensive and often infeasible in real-world manufacturing. While few-shot learning offers a promising alternative, current models primarily focus on semantic segmentation and fail to delineate individual defect instances with accurate boundaries and counts. Moreover, they lack adaptive mechanisms to model fine-grained morphological variations of defect regions and are susceptible to foreground–background ambiguity induced by incomplete annotations, resulting in classification bias during inspection. To address these limitations, we propose SCID-Net, a novel few-shot defect instance segmentation framework based on multi-granularity feature coupling and instance-aware inference decoupling. Specifically, we introduce a Multi-Grained Coupling Module (GCM) to facilitate hierarchical bi-directional interaction between support and query features, enriching both class-level prototypes and instance-specific representations. Built upon this, the Instance-Aware Inference Decoupling Module (IAM) decouples dense inference into specialized pathways, and further integrates adaptive spatial modulation and prototype-driven semantic alignment to suppress noise from incomplete annotations. Extensive experiments on a proprietary industrial deep-hole defect dataset demonstrate that SCID-Net achieves state-of-the-art performance under few-shot settings. Moreover, evaluations on NEU-Seg and MS COCO further validate the exceptional generalization capability of SCID-Net, highlighting its versatility in both challenging industrial environments and diverse real-world scenarios.
深孔内表面缺陷的准确实例分割是保证高精度工业零部件结构完整性和功能可靠性的关键。然而,由于标注数据的极度稀缺,以及缺陷的不规则形态、弱纹理和密集随机的空间分布,这项任务仍然具有很高的挑战性。现有的实例分割方法通常依赖于大规模的监督,这是非常昂贵的,而且在现实世界的制造中往往是不可行的。虽然few-shot学习提供了一个很有前途的选择,但当前的模型主要关注语义分割,并且无法用准确的边界和计数来描绘单个缺陷实例。此外,它们缺乏自适应机制来模拟缺陷区域的细粒度形态变化,并且容易受到不完整注释引起的前景和背景模糊的影响,从而导致检查过程中的分类偏差。为了解决这些限制,我们提出了一种基于多粒度特征耦合和实例感知推理解耦的新型少镜头缺陷实例分割框架SCID-Net。具体来说,我们引入了一个多粒度耦合模块(GCM)来促进支持和查询特性之间的分层双向交互,丰富类级原型和实例特定表示。在此基础上,实例感知推理解耦模块(IAM)将密集推理解耦到专门的路径中,并进一步集成自适应空间调制和原型驱动的语义对齐,以抑制来自不完整注释的噪声。在一个专有的工业深孔缺陷数据集上进行的大量实验表明,SCID-Net在很少的射击设置下就能达到最先进的性能。此外,对NEU-Seg和MS COCO的评估进一步验证了SCID-Net卓越的泛化能力,突出了其在具有挑战性的工业环境和多种现实场景中的通用性。

Offline reinforcement learning (RL) is a data-driven paradigm that learns policies from static datasets without real-time interacting with the environment. However, action data collected from real-world are often incomplete due to issues such as sensor failures or communication disruptions, which can significantly impair the performance of offline RL. We focus on the dimension-specific missing action data problem (DSMADP) and utilize such expensive yet incomplete action data to enhance offline RL. Inspired by the coordinated nature of joint movements in physical systems, we propose that intrinsic correlations exist across dimensions within each action example—referred to as intra-example inter-dimension correlations. Based on this insight, we propose an effective MLP-based CORrelation-driven IMPutation model named CORIMP. It models the correlations by learning mappings from observed to missing action dimensions, which then guides the imputation of missing values using available data. Theoretically, we bound CORIMP’s imputation error and its downstream impact on offline RL performance. Experimental results on variants of missing D4RL datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our method. Notably, with the TD3BC algorithm, the CORIMP-imputed dataset achieves 95.15% of the Halfcheetah-medium-expert dataset performance (oracle). It provides an average improvement of 99.12% over zero-filled datasets with missing ratios from 0.1 to 0.9 across two dimensions.
离线强化学习(RL)是一种数据驱动的范例,它从静态数据集中学习策略,而不与环境进行实时交互。然而,由于传感器故障或通信中断等问题,从现实世界收集的动作数据通常是不完整的,这可能会严重损害离线强化学习的性能。我们专注于特定维度的缺失动作数据问题(DSMADP),并利用这种昂贵但不完整的动作数据来增强离线强化学习。受物理系统中关节运动的协调性的启发,我们提出在每个动作示例中存在跨维度的内在相关性-称为示例内-维度相关性。基于此,我们提出了一种有效的基于mlp的关联驱动IMPutation模型CORIMP。它通过学习从观察到缺失的动作维度的映射来建模相关性,然后使用可用数据指导缺失值的输入。理论上,我们将CORIMP的imputation误差及其对离线RL性能的下游影响联系起来。在缺失D4RL数据集上的实验结果证明了该方法的有效性。值得注意的是,使用TD3BC算法,cormp输入的数据集达到Halfcheetah-medium-expert数据集(oracle)性能的95.15%。在两个维度上,它比缺失率从0.1到0.9的零填充数据集提供了99.12%的平均改进。

Medication recommendation is a crucial task for clinical decision support, typically reliant on electronic health records (EHRs). However, acquiring high-quality EHRs requires considerable human effort and time, inevitably accompanied by noise. Despite this, the robustness of medication recommendation models with label noise remains an unexplored issue. This paper addresses the challenging scenario of label noise in medication recommendation tasks, where label noise from patients’ historical medical records persistently influences medication predictions for patients’ future medical visits. To tackle these challenges, we propose a novel framework, KRAM, namely Knowledge-Driven Robust Training Against Label Noise for Medication Recommendation, which leverages medical knowledge to enhance robustness at both the feature and graph levels. Specifically, we extract heuristic medications from data and utilize adaptive enhanced personal knowledge graphs to mitigate the impact of label noise and irrelevant information. Furthermore, we introduce a training framework called Co-denoising to train KRAM, in which we filter noisy samples at the data level by Gaussian Mixture Models collaboratively and refine labels based on predicted noise probability. To evaluate the performance of KRAM, we employ random replacement and random addition strategies on the MIMIC-III dataset to simulate real-world noise and conduct extensive experiments on it. Our results demonstrate its superior performance across various noise levels compared to state-of-the-art models.
药物推荐是临床决策支持的关键任务,通常依赖于电子健康记录(EHRs)。然而,获得高质量的电子病历需要大量的人力和时间,不可避免地伴随着噪音。尽管如此,具有标签噪声的药物推荐模型的稳健性仍然是一个未探索的问题。本文解决了药物推荐任务中标签噪声的挑战性场景,其中来自患者历史医疗记录的标签噪声持续影响患者未来就诊的药物预测。为了解决这些挑战,我们提出了一个新的框架,KRAM,即知识驱动的抗标签噪声鲁棒训练药物推荐,它利用医学知识来增强特征和图水平的鲁棒性。具体来说,我们从数据中提取启发式药物,并利用自适应增强的个人知识图来减轻标签噪声和不相关信息的影响。此外,我们引入了一种称为协同去噪的训练框架来训练KRAM,其中我们通过高斯混合模型在数据级协同过滤噪声样本,并根据预测的噪声概率来细化标签。为了评估KRAM的性能,我们在MIMIC-III数据集上采用随机替换和随机添加策略来模拟真实世界的噪声,并在其上进行了广泛的实验。我们的研究结果表明,与最先进的模型相比,它在各种噪音水平上的优越性能。

Perception balance with uncertainty-guided fusion and proposal-wise mixture-of-experts for robust multi-agent 3D object detection 基于不确定性引导融合和专家建议混合的感知平衡鲁棒多智能体3D目标检测

LiDAR-based multi-agent 3D object detection is central to autonomous driving perception systems. However, most studies optimize collaborative performance peak while overlooking non-collaborative mode, where collaboration-tuned systems running in isolation fall below independently trained single-agent baselines. In this work, we revisit this system imbalance and present the Independence-Collaboration Perception Balance (ICPB) framework, which explicitly models epistemic uncertainty to adaptively trade off single-agent perception against collaborative gains. Unlike prior collaborative methods that implicitly mitigate domain shifts in the collaborative regime, ICPB employs an uncertainty-aware, loosely coupled fusion mechanism. It sequentially estimates uncertainty at both feature and proposal levels via a Hyper-dimensional Uncertainty-aware Self-Attention Fusion module (HuSaF) and a Proposal-wise Uncertainty-aware Mixture-of-Experts module (PuMoE). To further facilitate stabilize learning, a progressive dual-teacher distillation aligns the unified student with both individual and collaborative teachers, preserving independent competence with a Label-guided Knowledge Distillation (LGKD) while adapting to collaboration by alternate supervision. Extensive experiments under communication degradation, agent dropout, and asynchrony show that ICPB consistently reduces performance drop and surpasses collaboration-tuned and single-agent baselines, providing system-level robustness for safety-critical practical downstream applications.
基于激光雷达的多智能体3D目标检测是自动驾驶感知系统的核心。然而,大多数研究优化了协作性能峰值,而忽略了非协作模式,在非协作模式下,孤立运行的协作调优系统低于独立训练的单代理基线。在这项工作中,我们重新审视了这种系统失衡,并提出了独立-协作感知平衡(ICPB)框架,该框架明确地模拟了认知不确定性,以自适应地权衡单智能体感知与协作收益。与先前的协作方法不同,ICPB采用了一种不确定性感知、松散耦合的融合机制。它通过一个超维不确定性感知自关注融合模块(HuSaF)和一个提案不确定性感知混合专家模块(PuMoE),在特征和提案两个层面上顺序估计不确定性。为了进一步促进稳定的学习,渐进式双师蒸馏将统一的学生与个人教师和合作教师结合起来,通过标签引导的知识蒸馏(LGKD)保持独立能力,同时通过交替监督适应合作。在通信退化、代理退出和异步下进行的大量实验表明,ICPB持续减少性能下降,并超越协作调优和单代理基线,为安全关键型实际下游应用程序提供系统级健壮性。

Among various path planning methodologies, sampling-based algorithms, particularly the Rapidly-exploring Random Tree (RRT), have been extensively utilized in mobile robotics due to their strong adaptability. However, conventional RRT suffers from limitations including high and unstable path costs and slow convergence, primarily resulting from an excessively large search space and unguided sampling. To address these challenges, this work proposes a Bidirectional Region Expansion Guided Sampling-Based RRT* method (BR-RRT*). This approach optimizes the sampling region while ensuring spatial connectivity, thereby guiding the sampling process to effectively enhance both path search efficiency and sampling quality. It also improves the algorithm’s capability to traverse narrow passages and accelerates planning speed in such constrained environments. Furthermore, an adaptive step size strategy combined with a dual-layer path optimization strategy refines path quality by eliminating redundant nodes and optimizing parent node distribution. Comparative evaluations were conducted in four representative environments: Simple, Messy, Narrow, and Maze. The results demonstrate that BR-RRT* outperforms several advanced RRT variants. Specifically, compared to RRT*, the proposed method reduces path length by 25.4%, 17.5%, 20.7%, and 14.2%, and reduces planning time by 86.1%, 87.9%, 99.4%, and 97.6% across the four environments, respectively. Notably, BR-RRT* achieves a 100% success rate in all test environments, whereas RRT* attains only 36% and 77% in the Narrow and Maze environments, respectively. These results collectively demonstrate the advantages of the proposed algorithm in path quality, planning efficiency, and environmental adaptability.
在各种路径规划方法中,基于采样的算法,特别是快速探索随机树(RRT)算法,由于其适应性强,在移动机器人中得到了广泛的应用。然而,传统的RRT存在局限性,包括高且不稳定的路径成本和缓慢的收敛,主要是由于过大的搜索空间和非引导采样。为了解决这些挑战,本工作提出了一种基于双向区域扩展引导采样的RRT*方法(BR-RRT*)。该方法在保证空间连通性的同时优化了采样区域,从而指导采样过程,有效地提高了路径搜索效率和采样质量。它还提高了算法在这种受限环境下穿越狭窄通道的能力,加快了规划速度。此外,自适应步长策略结合双层路径优化策略,通过消除冗余节点和优化父节点分布来优化路径质量。在简单、杂乱、狭窄和迷宫四种具有代表性的环境中进行了比较评估。结果表明,BR-RRT*优于几种先进的RRT变体。具体而言,与RRT*相比,该方法在四种环境下的路径长度分别缩短了25.4%、17.5%、20.7%和14.2%,规划时间分别缩短了86.1%、87.9%、99.4%和97.6%。值得注意的是,BR-RRT*在所有测试环境中都达到了100%的成功率,而RRT*在狭窄和迷宫环境中分别只有36%和77%的成功率。这些结果共同证明了该算法在路径质量、规划效率和环境适应性方面的优势。
