[Purposes]In order to improve the path planning accuracy of robot.[Methods]A novel path planning method is proposed with fuzzy neural network and Genetic algorithm.[Findings]The evaluation indexes and optimization function are presented by path length and path energy,and the five-layer structure of three-dimensional path is built based on fuzzy neural network.Then,the optimal path is solved with genetic algorithm.[Conclusions]The key factors affecting the method are studied by simulation,and the results sho...
