Abstract
An efficient path planning method for a robot used for collecting marine debris includes: traversing all target positions of the marine debris by depth-first search (DFS) to generate a target position sequence; and calculating a target position with a lowest total cost by a path planning algorithm, and setting the target position with the lowest total cost as a next target position to be traversed for the robot. The efficient path planning method can plan an optimal or near-optimal cleaning path for the robot based on real-time environmental information, reducing unnecessary path repetition and ineffective motion, thereby significantly improving the cleaning efficiency.
