Optimum design of the project trajectory based on an improved particle swarm optimization

An optimum design method based on an improved particle swarm optimization is proposed to deal with the optimization problem of the project trajectory. This method employs the penalty function combined with the weight coefficient method to build the objective function. The non-uniform B-spline is adopted to characterize the control law and achieve the parameterized design variables. An improved particle swarm optimization with re-initialization mechanism is employed for optimization. An simulation example is provided lastly for testing, and the result analysis showed that this method has clear structure and good generality.
