Abstract: Cable harness routing is the universal problem in the design of complex mechatronic products. To solve the problems of low efficiency and poor reliability in the design of the cable harness routing, a path planning method of cable harness based on improved ant colony optimization is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the space division method with sectional type is used to establish the wiring space environment. To obtain the path planning space of three dimensional wiring, the wiring space is rasterized at the same time. To solve the problem of path point divergence in the path search, the path search strategy with ant colony optimization algorithm based on gravity rules is introduced, which improves the truth of the path planning. Finally, in the simulation experiment, the method proposed in this paper is contrastive analysis with the basic ant colony algorithm, and the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm are verified in this paper.
