Abstract

Abstract:

In the cloud era, the control objects are becoming larger and the information processing is more complex, and it is difficult for traditional control systems to process massive data in a timely manner. In view of the difficulty of data processing in the cloud era, it is extremely important to perform massive data operations through cloud servers. Unmanned aeriel vehicle (UAV) control is the representative of the intelligent field. Based on the ant colony algorithm and incorporating the potential field method, an improved potential field ant colony algorithm is designed. To deal with the path planning problem of UAVs, the potential field ant colony algorithm shortens the optimal path distance by 6.7%, increases the algorithm running time by 39.3%, and increases the maximum distance by 24.1% compared with the previous improvement. The cloud server is used to process the path problem of the UAV and feedback the calculation results in real time. Simulation experiments verify the effectiveness of the new algorithm in the cloud environment.

Key words: ant colony algorithm, potential field method, cloud server, path planning
