Ant colony algorithm is an intelligent optimization algorithm, which has the advantages of strong robustness, accurate feedback information and strong distributed computing ability.It is widely used in mobile robot path planning.The original algorithm converges slowly and is prone to falling into local optimization.To solve the problems, an improved ant colony path planning algorithm is proposed.Firstly, the solution set is updated and mutated by integrating the idea of brainstorming, so as to speed up the convergence and ensure the diversity of the algorithm.Secondly, the local path attention mechanism is used to extract better path segments, so as to improve the optimization efficiency, and the adaptive t-distribution is added to the pheromone attention mechanism, so as to avoid falling into local optimization.The new pheromone updating method can promote the global search of the algorithm and ensure the convergence rate of the algorithm.Finally, simulation experiments in static environment are carried out in Matlab software, which have verified the effectiveness and feasibility of this algorithm.

    In the face of UAV penetration tasks under complex terrain conditions, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is easy to fall into local optimum and suffers from long search time in the process of finding the optimal path.To solve the above problems, the spherical coordinate system is introduced into PSO, and the path obtained is regarded as a vector.The iterative updating of particles is realized through the relationship between the distance, elevation and azimuth of the vector and the speed, pitch and steering angle of the UAV.Finally, the random adaptive inertia weight is introduced to make up for the deficiency of the particles local search ability in the early stage and global search ability in the later stage.The simulation results show that the improved algorithm can effectively avoid the threat region, has faster convergence rate and higher convergence accuracy, and is not easy to fall into local optimum.

    The attitude of the quadrotor UAV will be disturbed by atmospheric turbulence when UAV performing tasks.Therefore, a method to optimize the traditional PID controller using variable domain fuzzy theory is proposed.According to the kinematic equation, a nonlinear model of quadrotor UAV with more accurate control accuracy is established.Due to the strong randomness of atmospheric turbulence, the model of components of atmospheric turbulence is obtained by using the Dryden model.Considering the lack of anti-interference ability of traditional PID controller, a variable domain fuzzy adaptive PID controller is designed by using variable domain fuzzy control.In the Simulink environment, the two controllers are compared through simulations after successively adding atmospheric turbulence and step response disturbance.The results show that the optimized controller has better robustness and stability than the traditional controller.
