注：運(yùn)行環(huán)境，Matlab 2019a 版本，安裝 RTB（Robotic Tool Box）工具包，鏈接地址為，RTB安裝鏈接。

該工具包中可以運(yùn)行作者大佬寫到的matlab/simulink四軸歷程，只需要使用指令 sl_quadrotor 即可。

使用方法

在Matlab 中，使用 makemap(30) 來生成地圖，通過鼠標(biāo)來設(shè)置障礙形狀。該例子生成了一個(gè)30*30的方陣，然后直接運(yùn)行TestScript.m即可。

其中要在TestScript.m中選擇是采用A算法，還是Dijkstra算法。同時(shí)設(shè)置起始點(diǎn)和終點(diǎn)在哪。下圖顯示得到的A算法路徑優(yōu)化結(jié)果。

其中綠色點(diǎn)為起點(diǎn)，黃色點(diǎn)為終點(diǎn)，黑色表示障礙，白色表示空閑，紅色表示搜尋過，灰色表示最后規(guī)劃的路徑。

下圖顯示Dijkstra算法的路徑優(yōu)化結(jié)果：

對(duì)應(yīng)的動(dòng)態(tài)效果已經(jīng)錄屏，下面給出傳送門（錄屏水印廣告請(qǐng)忽略）：

通過對(duì)比可以看出：A* 算法搜索速度較快，畢竟里面有貪心算法。

這在地圖較大的場景應(yīng)用較好。但是A*算法只能得到局部最優(yōu)解，并不能保證全局最優(yōu)解。

相比之下，Dijkstra算法盡管搜索速度慢，但是是全局最優(yōu)解。不知道兩種方法結(jié)合gmapping，hector或者cartographer生成的柵格地圖會(huì)是什么樣的效果。后面期待嘗試一下。
