摘要

This paper presents a novel multi-robot coverage path planning (MCPP) algorithm focusing on large-scale indoor closed obstacle-constrained area. We enhance traditional spanning tree coverage (STC) algorithm with backtracking for energy saving by implementing back-end optimization based on chaotic mapping to reduce the number of turns. The proposed method simplifies the non-deterministic polynomial hard (NP-hard) problem into an NP problem by stochastic optimization method, ensuring that the computational complexity remains manageable in a large-scale environment. To substantiate the feasibility of the proposed method, we have developed a technical framework for algorithm deployment and conducted real-world experiments on a custom platform.
