Abstract
The paper presents a comprehensive performance evaluation of some heuristic search algorithms in the context of autonomous systems and robotics. The objective of the study is to evaluate and compare the performance of different search algorithms in different problem settings on the pathfinding domain. Experiments give us insight into the behavior of the evaluated heuristic search algorithms, over the variation of different parameters: domain size, obstacle density, and distance between the start and the goal states. Results are then used to design a selection algorithm that, on the basis of problem characteristics, suggests the best search algorithm to use.
