Three-Dimensional Path Planning of UAV Based on Improved Particle Swarm Optimization

In order to improve the efficiency and reduce energy consumption of unmanned sailing boats for water quality inspection and sampling, particle swarm optimization was used for global path planning. The traditional particle swarm optimization algorithm has the problem of premature convergence because it is easy to fall into the local optimal solution. To solve this problem, an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed. Based on the traditional particle swarm optimization algorithm, the crossover and mutation operations in genetic algorithm are introduced. Firstly, the particle swarm was initialized and the fitness of the particle was calculated, and the individual optimal value and local optimal value were updated. Then crossover and mutation operations are introduced to update the particle velocity and position according to the results. Finally, the convergence of the algorithm is judged according to the decision criteria. The simulation results show that compared with the traditional particle swarm optimization algorithm, this algorithm can effectively avoid the algorithm falling into the local optimal solution, and greatly shorten the overall path length and reduce path planning time.

To make full use of the superior mechanical properties of UHPC and reduce the cost of the bridge, the particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to optimize the structural design of the UHPC beam bridge; Aiming at the problem that the traditional particle swarm optimization algorithm is easy to fall into local optimum, the nonlinear adaptive weight update method is used to improve the particle swarm optimization algorithm. Based on the above-mentioned improved particle swarm optimization algorithm, the optimal design method of ordinary reinforced UHPC beams and prestressed UHPC beams with commonly used highway spans is studied. The reliability of the optimized structural limit state is analyzed by Monte Carlo (MC) importance sampling method. The results show that compared with the traditional particle swarm optimization algorithm, the improved particle swarm optimization algorithm has higher convergence speed and convergence accuracy. The optimal height-span ratio of ordinary reinforced UHPC beams decreases with the increase of the span, and the construction cost gradually increases; The optimal height-span ratio of the prestressed beam decreases first and then increases with the increase of the span, and the construction cost gradually increases. The calculation results of load capacity reliability indexes of optimization results are all higher than the target reliability indexes of similar components stipulated in China’s “Uniform Standard for Structural Reliability Design of Highway Engineering”.

For the problem of defect inversion in magnetic flux leakage technology, a fast, globally convergent particle swarm optimization algorithm based on the finite-element forward model is introduced as an inverse iterative algorithm in this paper. Two aspects of the traditional particle swarm optimization algorithm have been improved: self-adaptive inertia weight and speed updating strategy. For the inertia weight, it can be adaptively adjusted according to the particle position. The speed update strategy mainly uses the best experience positions of other particles in a randomly selected population to realize the algorithm’s learning. At the same time, the learning factor of the position variable is designed to change with the number of iteration steps. The particle with a good position is added to jump out of the local minimum and accelerate the optimization process. Through the comparison experiment, the improved particle swarm optimization algorithm has a faster convergence speed compared with other traditional particle swarm optimization algorithms. It is more difficult for it to fall into the local minimum value and it is more easily converted to a higher precision.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are considered a promising example of an automatic emergency task in a dynamic marine environment. However, the maritime communication performance between UAVs and offshore platforms has become a severe challenge. Due to the complex marine environment, the task allocation and route planning efficiency of multiple UAVs in an intelligent ocean are not satisfactory. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an intelligent marine task allocation and route planning scheme for multiple UAVs based on improved particle swarm optimization combined with a genetic algorithm (GA-PSO). Based on the simulation of an intelligent marine control system, the traditional particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is improved by introducing partial matching crossover and secondary transposition mutation. The improved GA-PSO is used to solve the random task allocation problem of multiple UAVs and the two-dimensional route planning of a single UAV. The simulation results show that compared with the traditional scheme, the proposed scheme can significantly improve the task allocation efficiency, and the navigation path planned by the proposed scheme is also optimal.

In the application of scheduling strategies for power dispatching robots, traditional particle swarm optimization algorithms often become trapped in local optima during the optimization process, preventing the attainment of globally optimal results. Therefore, this paper proposes multi-objective optimization scheduling strategies for power dispatch robots based on an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm framework. When constructing the multi-objective optimization model for power dispatch robots, the particle swarm optimization algorithm is applied, and an adaptive inertia weight adjustment mechanism is used to improve search efficiency, ultimately achieving the optimal solution for multi-objective scheduling. The experimental results show that using the improved particle swarm optimization algorithm to optimize the multi-objective scheduling task of the power dispatching robot significantly reduces the total operating cost of the power system by approximately 19,326.8 US dollars, while keeping monthly pollutant emissions below 100 tons and effectively reducing system network loss. This method not only improves power scheduling efficiency but also promotes the development of green energy, providing strong support for the sustainable development of the power system.

The assembly accuracy of aircraft thin-walled components produced in the same batch is subject to fluctuations influenced by part tolerances and assembly processes. Significant variations in assembly precision can lead to increased assembly adjustment costs, severely affecting both efficiency and overall expenses. However, tolerance optimization that takes into account these fluctuations requires the integration of assembly deviation calculations, characterized by a high demand for large sample sizes and frequent iterative computations, which results in escalated computational costs. In this context, this paper establishes a data-driven mathematical model for tolerance optimization that comprehensively considers fluctuations in assembly accuracy, manufacturing costs, and quality losses, using a surrogate model as the core computational engine. Furthermore, to address the shortcomings of the traditional particle swarm optimization algorithm, namely, its tendency to get trapped in local optima and its insufficient local search capabilities, this study proposes an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm that integrates a chaotic local search strategy and second vibration particles. This enhanced algorithm is applied to the tolerance optimization problem of aircraft thin-walled components.

A multi‐unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) offers the advantages of flexibility, safety, and efficiency with respect to odor source localization. When the traditional particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is used to locate the odor source, the search efficiency of the UAVs is reduced owing to unplanned search routes, and local extreme points and internal collisions may occur, making it impossible to quickly locate the odor source. In response to these problems, this paper proposes an improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) algorithm, which combines the PSO with the Zigzag algorithm to preplan the search routes and improve the efficiency of the UAVs to search the plume. In addition, the distance between the UAVs is used as an adjustment factor to adaptively adjust the inertia weights of the particles to prevent the UAVs from falling into a local optimum during the plume‐tracking stage and further improve the positioning efficiency. Finally, the PSO combined with the artificial potential field algorithm is used to avoid the internal collision of the UAVs when tracking the plume. The algorithm is verified through simulations and physical experiments. The results show that the IPSO significantly improves the efficiency and can achieve rapid and effective location of the odor source, which verifies the effectiveness and applicability of the algorithm.

The accurate calculation and prediction of dynamic hysteresis losses are of great significance for the design and optimization of energy consumption in high-frequency electromagnetic devices. This paper modifies the existing J-A dynamic hysteresis model based on the nonlinear relationship between dynamic coefficients and magnetic flux density. Aiming at the problems of low computational accuracy and susceptibility to local optima in traditional particle swarm optimization algorithms, a modified hybrid algorithm (GA-CAPSO-NLDIW) is proposed by introducing Tent chaotic mapping function, adaptive velocity factor and learning factor, T-distribution function, and genetic algorithm crossover and mutation factor. Theoretical and experimental verification shows that the hybrid algorithm has low dependence on initial values and has better convergence speed and computational accuracy than other single algorithms. And this modified model, and method can be used for frequency dependent hysteresis loop identification, covering multi-component magnetic material systems such as ferromagnetic materials and low saturation magnetic flux density soft magnetic materials. In addition, this method can also predict dynamic losses under other unknown magnetic densities by using hysteresis loops under known magnetic densities, with errors within a reasonable range. The modeling method and hybrid optimization strategy proposed in this study can provide theoretical basis for the design of motor and magnetic bearing structures, accurate evaluation of dynamic losses in electromagnetic equipment, and other fields.
