Genetic algorithm approach for autonomous vehicles

Manufacturing systems of the future foresee the use of intelligent autonomous vehicles, capable path planning, optimising and navigating. Aims and scopes of manufacturing systems are usually defined. Article presents a concept for collision-free path generating in 3D CAD environment. Genetic algorithm (GA) method is used. On-line navigation elements are also included. Examples show universality and inventiveness of the approach. A brief discussion on potential applications is also provided.
