In order to solve the “minimum trap” of Artificial Potential Field and the limitation of traditional path planning algorithm in dynamic obstacle environment, a path planning algorithm based on improved artificial potential field is proposed. Firstly, a virtual potential field detection circle model (VPFDCM) with adjustable radius is proposed to detect the “minimum trap” formed by the repulsion field of obstacles in advance. And the motion model of unmanned vehicle is established. Combined with the improved reinforcement learning algorithm based on Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM), the radius of virtual potential field detection circle is adjusted to achieve effective avoidance of dynamic obstacles. The reliable online collision free path planning of unmanned vehicle in semi closed dynamic obstacle environment is realized. Finally, the reliability and robustness of the algorithm are verified by MATLAB simulation. The simulation results show that the improved artificial potential field can effectively solve the problem of unmanned vehicle falling into the “minimum trap” and improve the reliability of unmanned vehicle movement. Compared with the traditional artificial potential field method, the improved artificial potential field method can achieve more than 90% success rate in obstacle avoidance.
