1. 基本概念

1.1 基于随机采样的路径规划算法

• 基于随机采样的路径规划算法适用于高维度空间，它们以概率完备性(当时间接近无限时一定有解)来代替完备性，从而提高搜索效率。

• 基于随机采样的路径规划算法又分为单查询算法(single-query path planning)以及渐近最优算法(asymptotically optimal path planning)，前者只要找到可行路径即可，侧重快速性，后者还会对找到的路径进行逐步优化，慢慢达到最优，侧重最优性。单查询方法包括概率路图算法(Probabilistic Road Map, PRM)、快速随机扩展树算法(Rapidly-exploring Random Tree, RRT)、RRT-Connect算法等，渐近最优算法有RRT*算法等。

1.2 概率路图算法(Probabilistic Road Map, PRM)

概率路图算法是一种典型的基于采样的路径规划方法。它主要分为两个阶段：学习阶段， 查询阶段。

学习阶段

应用PRM算法进行路径规划时，首先在将连续空间转换成离散空间后，在离散空间中采样一个无碰撞的点（随机撒点，剔除落在障碍物上的点），以该点为中心，在一定的半径范围内搜索其邻域点，并将其连接形成路径，随后进行碰撞检测，若无碰撞，则保留该路径。

查询阶段

当空间中所有采样点均完成上述步骤后，再应用图搜索算法搜索出可行路径。

1.3 PRM算法的优缺点

优点

该算法原理简单，容易实现，只需要调整参数即可实现不同场景的路径规划，且不需要对环境中的障碍物进行精确建模，在高维空间和动态环境中的路径规划有很大优势。

缺点

但该算法存在狭窄通路问题： 空白区域采样点密集，障碍物密集处采样点又相对较少，可能无法得到最短路径。而且参数的设置对路径规划的结果影响较大，采样点的数量、邻域的大小设置不合理均可能导致路径规划失败（如采样点设置过少导致生成的路径过少未覆盖起终点、邻域设置过大导致过多的路径无法通过碰撞检测）。

所以PRM是概率完备且不最优的算法。

1.4 PRM算法伪代码

概率路图的构建过程的伪代码如下：

如上图所示，

• 步骤 1、2 : 初始化两个集合，其中$V$表示随机点集，$E$表示路径集。

• 步骤 3~8 : 每次随机采样一个无碰撞的点，将这个无碰撞的点加入$V$中，重复$n$次。

• 步骤 9~16：生成概率路图。

  • 步骤 10：对$V$中的每个点$q$，根据一定的距离范围选择$k$个邻域点
  • 步骤 11~15：对每个领域点$q^{\prime }$进行判断，如果$q$和$q^{\prime }$尚未形成路径，则将其连接形成路径，随后进行碰撞检测，若无碰撞，则保留该路径。

在依据上述步骤构建完路图后，使用图搜索算法(如Dijkstra算法)在路图中搜索出一条从起点到终点的最短路径即可。
