Robot path planning is the basis for robot to perform various tasks successfully. Dynamic window approach (DWA) is a flexible way to solve this task, however its evaluation functions are not comprehensive enough and the weight of these functions will not be adjusted with the change of environment in real time, which makes the robot tend to circumnavigate the outside of the dense obstacle area, and it is easy to fall into the failure of the evaluation function when it meets the combination of “C” shaped obstacles. In this paper, an improved DWA based on Q-learning is proposed. Firstly, we add a new evaluation function to prevent the robot from circling in place. Then, on the basis of defining the state space, action space and reward function in the robot motion planning, Q-learning is used to adjust the weight of the evaluation function adaptively, so that it can adapt to the changing environment. Finally, the simulation results show that the new evaluation function not only solves the above problems, but also improves the overall motion efficiency of mobile robots.
