Abstract:Intelligent algorithm is an important tool to solve the path planning problem of UAV in three-dimensional environment, and it is easy to fall into local optimum and the path optimality is limited. To solve this problem, an enhanced Harris Eagle optimization algorithm based on division of labor is proposed for path planning. The potential energy fluctuation learning strategy is designed to enhance the efficiency of exploration and improve the search performance of the algorithm. This paper analyzes the blindness of iterative strategy selection in the development stage of the algorithm, and puts forward a division of labor mechanism to adjust the escape opportunity of prey according to the population quality to avoid blind strategy selection. An elite time-varying levy flight is designed to balance the different requirements of the algorithm for jumping out of local optimum in the early stage and improving convergence accuracy in the later stage. The performance of the improved algorithm is evaluated by comparing the simulation experiment with other algorithms. The simulation results show that the improved algorithm can obviously improve the convergence accuracy and stability, and can effectively solve the path planning problem of UAV.
