Research on multitask scheduling systems in factory environments is a popular topic in the field of intelligent manufacturing. Existing research mainly focuses on the optimization of automated guided vehicle (AGV) path planning and scheduling, emphasizing on the minimization of conflicts and deadlocks, multi-objective task scheduling, and metaheuristic algorithm optimization, while ignoring path stability and real-time path planning in dynamic environments. Therefore, this paper aims to address these issues to better handle dynamic changes in actual operating environments. This paper establishes a mathematical model with the optimization objective of minimizing the overall running time of material distribution tasks and proposes an improved ant colony algorithm to optimize the model. First, the concept of prior time is introduced to improve the traditional ant colony algorithm. The path of the ongoing task is introduced with a time calculation, and the occupancy time window of each grid point on the path is calculated. Based on this, the initial pheromone distribution on subsequent paths is altered dynamically, which accelerates the convergence of the ants to a collision-free path. Second, in the pheromone update stage, the method of calculating the pheromone increment in the traditional ant colony algorithm is modified. The original distance influence factor is changed to a time influence factor, which ensures that all tasks still have the minimum running time when calculating a collision-free path. Finally, through 30 sets of simulation experiments on material distribution tasks, it is shown that the proposed algorithm shortens the total running time by 15.14%, 12.87%, and 10.59% compared to two ant colony algorithms and one strategic multi-AGV scheduling algorithm, respectively, thus verifying the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Crowdsourced on-demand delivery is being required by many industries with the increasing demand of online shopping and on-demand food. However, it is difficult to ensure the delivery efficiency due to the uncertainty of delivery time for crowdsourced couriers in total delivery process. An ant colony algorithm based on total logistics delivery efficiency metrics is proposed in order to ensure the efficiency of crowdsourced on-demand delivery. Firstly, two metrics are designed to describe the total logistics delivery efficiency quantitatively. The average delivery time of each order and the number of orders completed on time are calculated in total logistics delivery efficiency metrics. Secondly, a total logistics crowdsourced on-demand delivery model (TLCODM) is built considering the transport efficiency and order punctuality. This model serves as the fundamental support for crowdsourced on-demand delivery. Finally, an ant colony algorithm based on total logistics delivery efficiency metrics (ACO-TLDE) is proposed to obtain the optimal scheduling solutions. The total logistics delivery efficiency metrics are used to guide the update of ant colony algorithm. The effectiveness of TLCODM and ACO-TLDE are verified by experiments.

AGV for warehousing and logistics is an automatic guided vehicle that is used for cargo handling, storage, sorting and other operations in warehousing and logistics scenarios. Due to the complex warehousing logistics scenarios, AGV needs to deal with the complex environment and variable task requirements in warehousing logistics during operation, resulting in low efficiency of path planning. Therefore, a global path planning method for AGV of warehousing logistics based on an improved ant colony algorithm is studied. After analyzing the overall transportation path of warehousing logistics, according to the optimization algorithm of ants' foraging behavior in nature, the pheromone transmission mechanism and behavior rules are simulated, and relevant factors such as path length transportation efficiency. Obstacle avoidance and load balance are considered to adjust the parameters such as pheromone volatilization factor and heuristic information weighting so that the improved ant colony algorithm can better adapt to changes in the warehousing logistics environment and improve the accuracy and reliability of AGV path planning. Through experimental verification, the effectiveness and superiority of the method are proved, the AGV transportation efficiency is improved, and the algorithm has excellent stability and adaptability.

The pantograph slide is a part that directly contacts the catenary. Once the fault occurs, it will affect the flow quality of the locomotive and even cause major safety accidents such as scraping bows. Therefore, the online fault detection of pantograph slides is of great significance in ensuring the safe operation of railways. Accurate edge detection is necessary for carbon slide wear detection. Image-based fault diagnosis is an efficient method. Edge detection is a hot topic in image processing with many methods proposed. ant colony algorithms show promise for image edge detection. They are efficient at identifying edges in images. We propose an edge detection algorithm that combines edge detection technology with an adaptive antcolony optimization algorithm. First, the antcolony layout is optimized based on the gradient. The gradient value is used to determine the position of the ants. The ants are not randomly distributed but are placed on the highest gradient. Then, heuristic information is used in the construction stage. In the improvement stage, the movement probability of the antcolony is changed to optimize the movement path and obtain the optimal solution. Finally, the threshold adaptive algorithm is applied, which is expected to be used for better and faster path discovery optimization, and then the edge detection image is obtained according to the optimal solution. By comparing the traditional ant colony algorithm with other operators and edge detection algorithms, the proposed method has the greatest advantage over other methods in quantitative *** with traditional ACO algorithms, we have improved in PSNR, MSE, SSIM, and FSIM indexes, with a minimum improvement of 2.45% and a maximum improvement of 94.2%. The results show that the gradient-based position can improve the accuracy of edge detection, and the edge detection results are optimized by applying the adaptive ant colony algorithm.

Correctly fixing the integer ambiguity of GNSS is the key to realizing the application of GNSS high-precision positioning. When solving the float solution of ambiguity based on the double-difference model epoch by epoch, the common method for resolving the integer ambiguity needs to solve the coordinate parameter information, due to the influence of limited GNSS phase data observations. This type of method will lead to an increase in the ill-posedness of the double-difference solution equation, so that the fixed success rate of the integer ambiguity is not high. Therefore, a new integer ambiguity resolution method based on eliminating coordinate parameters and ant colony algorithm is proposed in this paper. The method eliminates the coordinate parameters in the observation equation using QR decomposition transformation, and only estimates the ambiguity parameters using the Kalman filter. On the basis that the Kalman filter will obtain the float solution of ambiguity, the decorrelation processing is carried out based on continuous Cholesky decomposition, and the optimal solution of integer ambiguity is searched using the ant colony algorithm. Two sets of static and dynamic GPS experimental data are used to verify the method and compared with conventional least squares and LAMBDA methods. The results show that the new method has good decorrelation effect, which can correctly and effectively realize the integer ambiguity resolution.

Faced with complex and ever-changing environmental conditions in the agricultural field, efficient agricultural information gathering is crucial for optimising agricultural output. Therefore, a new path planning algorithm combining ant colony algorithm and particle swarm optimization is proposed in this study. The aim is to achieve fast and accurate path planning for agricultural information gathering robots in diverse agricultural environments. The global search ability of particle swarm optimization algorithm in finding optimal paths and the local search advantage of ant colony algorithm in obstacle avoidance are used to optimise the movement strategy of robots in agricultural environments. The research results showed that the global path planning distance of this method was 19.328m. The execution time was 0.97s. In local path planning, the proposed algorithm had a fitness function value of 30.123 when the number of iterations reached 53. In mixed path planning, the proposed algorithm reduced the movement time by 3.2s. The conclusion shows that the algorithm proposed in this study has high applicability and efficiency in practical applications, providing an effective strategy for path planning of agricultural information gathering robots. It has important practical significance for promoting the development of intelligent agriculture.
