Leveraging RRT^*: Probabilistically Interpreted Mechanisms Enhanced With P-HOPE and FLEX-OPT for Complex Path Planning by Yujie Miao, Haiyang Liu, Ziqiang Zhang, Yanju Liang

“…First, a powerful strategy, called the P-HOPE (Probability-Driven Heuristic Optimization for Path Exploration) strategy, that integrates multidimensional influencing factors is designed in the proposed RRT<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$^{\ast }$ </tex-math></inline-formula>-PRIME algorithm to optimize target sampling direction by considering angle, direction consistency, and obstacle distribution. Second, a flexible mechanism FLEX-OPT is developed to adaptively and dynamically adjust the search strategy through real-time feedback and monitoring of the cost function to tackle the above-mentioned local minima problem, which significantly improves the convergence speed and path quality of the algorithm. …”
