遗传算法是一种基于达尔文进化论的搜寻启发式算法。该算法模仿了基于种群中最适宜个体的自然选择。
遗传算法须要两个参数，即种群和适应度函数。依据适应度值在群体中抉择最适宜的个体。最衰弱的个体通过穿插和渐变技术产生后辈，发明一个新的、更好的种群。这个过程反复几代，直到失去最好的解决方案。
要解决的问题
本文中咱们将应用遗传算法在迷宫中找到最短门路。
本文的的门路布局基于论文 Autonomous Robot Navigation Using Genetic Algorithm with an Efficient Genotype Structure。
本文的代码基于两个假如：
1、代理不能对角线挪动，也就是说只能左右，高低挪动，不能走斜线。
2、迷宫的地图是已知的，然而代理不晓得。
基因型
在由 N 列建模的导航环境中，门路能够由具备 N 个基因的基因型示意。每个基因都是一个代表检查点坐标的元组。
所以咱们的基因型如下，列式构造：
在列式构造中，咱们假如每个基因都只放在一列中，例如，取一条大小为 8 的染色体，[(1,1), (4,2), (4,3), (6,4)，(2,5), (3,6), (7,7), (8,8)]。它会像这样搁置：
这里假如起始坐标是(1,1)，指标坐标是(8,8)
有两种办法能够从一个检查点挪动到另一个检查点:
先排成一行挪动 或 先排成一列挪动
行挪动：先在一行中挪动，而后在列中挪动。如果咱们从后面的例子中获取染色体，咱们失去的门路是：
列挪动：相似的，先在一列中挪动，而后在一行中挪动。咱们失去的门路是：
尽管这种基因型构造很好，但它不能为某些迷宫产生门路。所以这种构造假设每个门路段都以间断的列完结。
实现遗传算法
本文应用 python 语言来实现遗传算法，并在最初有残缺代码链接。
1、导入模块
这里的一个没见过的模块是 pyamaze，它次要是 python 中生成迷宫。
fromrandomimportrandint, random, choice
frompyamazeimportmaze, agent
fromcopyimportdeepcopy, copy
importcsv2、定义常量和一些初始化
设置程序的不同参数并创立一个迷宫。
#initialize constants
POPULATIONSIZE=120
ROWS, COLS=16,8
#Set the mutation rate
MUTATION_RATE=100
# start and end points of the maze
START, END=1, COLS
#weights of path length, infeasible steps and number of turns
wl, ws, wt=2, 3, 2
#file name for storing fitness parameters
file_name='data.csv'
#initilize a maze object and create a maze
m=maze(ROWS, COLS)
m.CreateMaze(loopPercent=100)
maps=m.maze_map3、种群的创立
此函数创立种群并为每个个体随机生成方向属性。
defpopFiller(pop, direction):
"""Takes in population and direction lists and fills them with random values within the range."""
foriinrange(POPULATIONSIZE):
# Generate a random path and add it to the population list
pop.append([(randint(1, ROWS), j) forjinrange(1, COLS+1)])
# Set the start and end points of the path
pop[i][0] = (START, START)
pop[i][-1] = (ROWS, END)
# Generate a random direction and add it to the direction list
direction.append(choice(["r", "c"]))
returnpop, direction4、门路计算
这一步应用了两个函数：inter_steps 函数以两个坐标作为元组，例如 (x, y) 和方向信息来生成这些点之间的两头步数。path 函数应用 inter_steps 函数通过循环每个个体的基因来生成它的门路。
definter_steps(point1, point2, direction):
"""Takes in two points and the direction of the path between them and returns the intermediate steps between them."""
steps= []
ifdirection=="c": # column first
ifpoint1[0] <point2[0]:
steps.extend([(i, point1[1]) foriinrange(point1[0] +1, point2[0] +1)])
elifpoint1[0] >point2[0]:
steps.extend([(i, point1[1]) foriinrange(point1[0] -1, point2[0] -1, -1)])
steps.append(point2)
elifdirection=="r": # row first
ifpoint1[0] <point2[0]:
steps.extend([(i, point1[1] +1) foriinrange(point1[0], point2[0] +1)])
elifpoint1[0] >point2[0]:
steps.extend([(i, point1[1] +1) foriinrange(point1[0], point2[0] -1, -1)])
else:
steps.append(point2)
returnsteps
defpath(individual, direction):
"""Takes in the population list and the direction list and returns the complete path using the inter_steps function."""
complete_path= [individual[0]]
foriinrange(len(individual) -1):
# Get the intermediate steps between the current and the next point in the population
complete_path.extend(inter_steps(individual[i], individual[i+1], direction))
returncomplete_path5、适应度评估
这个步骤应用两个函数来计算个体的适应度：pathParameters 函数计算个体转弯次数和不可行步数，fitCal 函数利用这些信息计算每个个体的适应度。适应度计算的公式如下：
这些公式别离归一化了转身、不可行步长和门路长度的适应度。整体适应度计算公式如下所示:
wf, wl, wt 是定义参数权重的常数，别离是不可行的步数，门路长度和转弯次数。这些常量之前曾经初始化。
fitCal 函数有一个额定的关键字参数，即 createCSV，它用于将不同的参数写入 CSV 文件。
defpathParameters(individual, complete_path, map_data):
"""Takes in an individual, it's complete path and the map data
and returns the number of turns and the number of infeasible steps.
"""# Count the number of turns in the individual's path
turns=sum(
1
foriinrange(len(individual) -1)
ifindividual[i][0] !=individual[i+1][0]
)
# Count the number of Infeasible steps in the individual's path
infeas=sum(
any(
(map_data[complete_path[i]]["E"] ==0andcomplete_path[i][1] ==complete_path[i+1][1] -1,
map_data[complete_path[i]]["W"] ==0andcomplete_path[i][1] ==complete_path[i+1][1] +1,
map_data[complete_path[i]]["S"] ==0andcomplete_path[i][0] ==complete_path[i+1][0] -1,
map_data[complete_path[i]]["N"] ==0andcomplete_path[i][0] ==complete_path[i+1][0] +1,
)
)
foriinrange(len(complete_path) -1)
)
returnturns, infeas
deffitCal(population, direction, solutions,createCSV=True):
"""

returns the fitness list of the population and the solution found(infeasible steps equal to zero).
Args:

# Initialize empty lists for turns, infeasible steps, and path length
turns= []

defcalc(curr, maxi, mini):
ifmaxi==mini:
return0

writer.writerow({'Path Length': min_l, 'Turns': min_t, 'Infeasible Steps': min_s, 'Fitness': max(fitness)})
returnfitness, solutions6、抉择
这个函数依据适应度值对总体进行排序。
defrankSel(population, fitness, direction):
"""Takes in the population, fitness and direction lists and returns the population and direction lists after rank selection."""
# Pair each fitness value with its corresponding individual and direction
pairs=zip(fitness, population, direction)
# Sort pairs in descending order based on fitness value
sorted_pair=sorted(pairs, key=lambdax: x[0], reverse=True)
# Unzip the sorted pairs into separate lists
_, population, direction=zip(*sorted_pair)
returnlist(population), list(direction)7、穿插
这个函数实现了单点穿插。它随机抉择一个交叉点，并应用种群人口的前一半 (父母) 来创立后一半，具体方法如下图所示：
defcrossover(population, direction):
"""Takes in the population and direction lists and returns the population and direction lists after single point crossover."""
# Choose a random crossover point between the second and second-to-last gene
crossover_point=randint(2, len(population[0]) -2)
# Calculate the number of parents to mate (half the population size)
no_of_parents=POPULATIONSIZE//2
foriinrange(no_of_parents-1):
# Create offspring by combining the genes of two parents up to the crossover point
population[i+no_of_parents] = (population[i][:crossover_point] +population[i+1][crossover_point:]
)
# Choose a random direction for the offspring
direction[i+no_of_parents] =choice(["r", "c"])
returnpopulation, direction8、变异
通过将基因 (即 tuple (x, y)) 的 x 值更改为范畴内的任意数字来实现插入渐变。元组的 y 值放弃不变，因为咱们假如迷宫中的每一列都应该只有一个检查点。
有几个参数能够调整，mutation_rate 和 no_of_genes_to_mutate。
defmutation(population, mutation_rate, direction, no_of_genes_to_mutate=1):
"""
Takes in the population, mutation rate, direction and number of genes to mutate
and returns the population and direction lists after mutation.
"""
# Validate the number of genes to mutate
ifno_of_genes_to_mutate<=0:
raiseValueError("Number of genes to mutate must be greater than 0")
ifno_of_genes_to_mutate>COLS:
raiseValueError("Number of genes to mutate must not be greater than number of columns")
foriinrange(POPULATIONSIZE):
# Check if the individual will be mutated based on the mutation rate
ifrandom() <mutation_rate:
for_inrange(no_of_genes_to_mutate):
# Choose a random gene to mutate and replace it with a new random gene
index=randint(1, COLS-2)
population[i][index] = (randint(1, ROWS), population[i][index][1])
# Choose a random direction for the mutated individual
direction[i] =choice(["r", "c"])
returnpopulation, direction9、最佳解
该函数依据解的门路长度返回最佳解。
defbest_solution(solutions):
"""Takes a list of solutions and returns the best individual(list) and direction"""
# Initialize the best individual and direction as the first solution in the list
best_individual, best_direction=solutions[0]
# Calculate the length of the path for the best solution
min_length=len(path(best_individual, best_direction))
forindividual, directioninsolutions[1:]:
# Calculate the length of the path for the best solution
current_length=len(path(individual, direction))
# If the current solution is better than the best solution, update the best solution
ifcurrent_length<min_length:
min_length=current_length
best_individual=individual
best_direction=direction
returnbest_individual, best_direction10、整合
整个算法的工作流程就像咱们结尾显示的流程图一样，上面是代码：
defmain():
# Initialize population, direction, and solution lists
pop, direc, sol= [], [], []
# Set the generation count and the maximum number of generations
gen, maxGen=0, 2000
# Set the number of solutions to be found
sol_count=1
# Set the number of solutions to be found
pop, direc=popFiller(pop, direc)
# Create a new CSV file and write header
withopen(file_name, 'w', newline='') asf:
writer=csv.DictWriter(f, fieldnames=['Path Length', 'Turns', 'Infeasible Steps', 'Fitness'])
writer.writeheader()
# Start the loop for the genetic algorithm
print('Running...')
whileTrue:
gen+=1
# Calculate the fitness values for the population and identify any solutions
fitness, sol=fitCal(pop, direc, sol, createCSV=True)
# Select the parents for the next generation using rank selection
pop, direc=rankSel(pop, fitness, direc)
# Create the offspring for the next generation using crossover
pop, direc=crossover(pop, direc)
# mutate the offsprings using mutation function
pop, direc=mutation(pop, MUTATION_RATE, direc, no_of_genes_to_mutate=1)
# Check if the required number of solutions have been found
iflen(sol) ==sol_count:
print("Solution found!")
break
# Check if the maximum number of generations have been reached
ifgen>=maxGen:
print("Solution not found!")
flag=input("Do you want to create another population(y/n):")
# if flag is 'y', clear the population and direction lists and refill them
ifflag=='y':
pop, direc= [], []
pop, direc=popFiller(pop, direc)
gen=0
continue
# If flag is 'n' exit the program
else:
print("Good Bye")
returnNone
# Find the best solution and its direction
solIndiv, solDir=best_solution(sol)
# Generate the final solution path and reverse it
solPath=path(solIndiv, solDir)
solPath.reverse()
# Create an agent, set its properties, and trace its path through the maze
a=agent(m, shape="square", filled=False, footprints=True)
m.tracePath({a: solPath}, delay=100)
m.run()
if__name__=="__main__":
# Call the main function
main()可视化和后果展现
最初为了能看到算法的过程，能够可视化不同参数随代数的变化趋势，应用 matplotlib 和 pandas 绘制曲线。
上面是一个应用“loopPercent = 100”的 15 * 15 迷宫的后果:
咱们能够对他进行一些简略的剖析：下图是我后果中失去的趋势线。“不可行的步数”显著缩小，“门路长度”和“转弯数”也显著缩小。通过几代之后，门路长度和转弯数变得稳固，表明算法曾经收敛到一个解决方案。
适应度曲线不统一的可能起因:
当一个个体在种群中的适应度最大时，不意味着它就是解决方案。但它持续产生越来越多的可能解，如果一个群体蕴含类似的个体，整体的适宜度会升高。
上面一个是是应用“loopPercent = 100”的 10 * 20 迷宫的后果:
趋势线与之前的迷宫类似：
应用“loopPercent = 100”的 12 × 12 迷宫的后果:
程序运行后找到的三个解决方案，并从中抉择最佳解决方案。红色的是最佳计划。最佳解决方案是依据门路长度等规范抉择的。与其余解决方案相比，红色代理可能找到通过迷宫的无效门路。这些后果证实了该计划的有效性。
一些数据指标的比照
计算了 10 个不同大小的迷宫的解决方案所需工夫的数据。
随着迷宫规模的减少，工夫简直呈指数增长。这意味着用这种算法解决更大的迷宫是很有挑战性的。
这是必定的：
因为遗传算法是模仿的自然选择，有肯定的随机性，所以计算量很大，特地是对于大而简单的问题。咱们抉择的实现办法也适宜于小型和简略的迷宫，基因型构造不适宜大型和简单的迷宫。迷宫的后果也取决于初始总体，如果初始总体是好的，它会更快地收敛到解决方案，否则就有可能陷入部分最优。遗传算法也不能找到最优解。
总结
本文咱们胜利地构建并测试了一个解决迷宫的遗传算法实现。对后果的分析表明，该算法可能在正当的工夫内找到最优解，但随着迷宫大小的减少或 loopPercent 的缩小，这种实现就会变得艰难。参数 POPULATION_SIZE 和 mutation_rate，对算法的性能有重大影响。本文只是对遗传算法原理的一个解说，能够帮忙你理解遗传算法的原理，对于小型数据能够试验，然而在大型数据的生产环境，请先进行优化。
