Robotic Path Planning Algorithms

This paper shows the application of Ant Colony Optimization algorithm for the dispatch of road crews for electric network services in an electricity utility, and the impact of varying parameters on the construction of routes. Considering the consumers' requests, the algorithm creates the routes to be taken by each road crew, selects the sequence in which the service calls will be met by the teams in the same day and the ones that will have to be postponed in order to satisfy the Company's and clients' goals.
