Shrnutí:Path planning of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in complex environments with high dimensionality attempts to search for waypoint sequences always of increased size. Such a challenging task can be considered as a multi-objective Large-Scale Global Optimization (LSGO) problem where efficient solving requires more sophisticated algorithms. In this paper, a novel Parallel Cooperative Coevolutionary Multi-Objective Multi-Verse Optimization (PCCMOMVO) algorithm is developed and successfully applied. In this Cooperative Coevolutionary (CC) framework, a MOMVO algorithm is considered to design an improved subcomponent optimizer based on an allocated multi-core CPU architecture and a Message Passing Interface (MPI). The MOMVO population is divided into sub-populations, called species, where each of them is responsible for optimizing a subcomponent of the LSGO problem according to the “divide-and-conquer” concept of CC framework. To form a complete candidate solution of the whole LSGO path planning problem, each species shares a number of representative solutions selected from the Pareto non-dominated ones found so far. The selection process is based on the Pareto ranks achieved by the use of a Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). A parallelization mechanism based on a simple yet efficient master–slave model and allocated MPI is implemented to provide acceleration in computation runtime. Demonstrative results and ANOVA tests are presented over planning scenarios with increased complexity to demonstrate the superiority and effectiveness of the PCCMOMVO algorithm. Extensive evaluations and comparisons are carried out in terms of collision-avoidance capabilities, path shortness and efficiency against the curse of dimensionality and computational time consumption.
