The final, formatted version of the article will be published soon.

For the low efficiency and poor generalization ability of path planning algorithm of industrial robots, this work proposes an adaptive field co-sampling algorithm (AFCS). This algorithm deeply integrates the traditional rapidly random search tree algorithm (RRT) with the improved artificial potential field algorithm (APF). Firstly, the environment complexity function is proposed to make full use of environment information and improve its generalization ability of the traditional RRT algorithm. Then an optimal sampling strategy is proposed to make the improvement of the efficiency and optimal direction of RRT algorithm. Finally, this article designs a collaborative extension strategy, which introduces the improved APF into the traditional RRT algorithm to determine the new nodes, so as to so as to improve the orientation and expansion efficiency of the algorithm. The proposed AFCS algorithm completes simulation experiments in two environments with different complexity. Compared with the traditional RRT, RRT* and tRRT algorithm, the results show that the AFCS algorithm has achieved great improvement in environmental adaptability, stability and efficiency. At last, ROKAE industrial robot is taken as the object to build a simulation environment for the path planning, which further verifies the practicability of the algorithm.
