摘要

This paper presents the A*-NSGA-II hybrid algorithm for cooperative path planning of aerial-maritime heterogeneous platforms (two UAVs and one USV) in offshore wind farm inspections. We model a 3D environment with turbines, signal interference zones, and bird flocks, establishing a multi-objective optimization function addressing collision avoidance, path length, task time, and safety margins. The algorithm integrates A*’s efficient path search with NSGA-II’s multi-objective optimization. Simulation in a \(350 \times 350 \times 250 \mathrm {~m}^{3}\) environment featuring three turbines, three interference zones, and two bird flocks demonstrates the solution plans collision-free paths within platform motion constraints in only 30 s. The approach effectively avoids obstacles and inter-platform collisions while optimizing inspection efficiency, providing a technical foundation for safer and more economical offshore wind farm operations.
