In this paper, a new strategy is developed to plan the smooth path for mobile robots through an improved PSO algorithm in combination with the continuous high-degree Bezier curve. Rather than connecting several low-degree Bezier curve segments, the use of continuous high-degree Bezier curves facilit...
