The invention belongs to the technical field of multi-
robot path planning, and particularly relates to a consistent path
planning method for multi-
robot collaborative operation. Firstly, an environment map is converted into a grid map, and a starting point and a
terminal point of each
robot are set; then, calculating a priority
score of each robot, layering all the robots according to the priority scores to obtain inter-layer priorities, and determining intra-layer priorities of the robots according to the priority scores; finally, according to the starting point and the ending point of the robot, a plurality of optional paths are generated for the robot through the Yen's
algorithm, the motion paths of the robot are distributed according to the priority in the layer, and primary distribution of the motion paths is achieved; and according to the inter-layer priority, re-allocating the primarily allocated motion paths of the robots, and finely adjusting the primarily allocated motion paths to ensure that the motion paths of all the robots do not conflict. According to the method, a strategy of combining hierarchical path allocation, intra-layer priority
ranking and inter-layer conflict detection is adopted, path conflicts can be effectively reduced, meanwhile, a new path generated through re-planning is
continuation of a previous path or a subset of the previous path, continuity and consistency of path planning are guaranteed, and path changes are reduced.
