A multi-objective path optimization method for plant protection robots based on improved A*-IWOA

This algorithm offers significant advantages in terms of computational accuracy, convergence speed, and efficiency. Moreover, the resulting paths satisfy the stringent energy consumption and path planning requirements of robots in unstructured mountain terrain. This improved algorithm could also be replicated and applied to other fields, such as picking robots, factory inspection robots, and complex industrial environments, where robust and efficient path planning is required.
