The results show that compared with the basic RRT and the standard RRT, the improved algorithm reduces the number of iteration convergence by 57%, the planning time by 36%, the path length by 30%, and the proportion of invalid sampling to 12%. Through the simulation deployment of gazebo, the practicability and superiority of the improved algorithm in the smart factory scenario are verified, which can meet the requirements of efficient and safe path planning of the transport robot in the dynamic environment.
