In order to plan the welding path of the spot welding robot work station for the rear side of the car reasonably,a mathematical model of three-dimensional TSP is established to find shortest moving distance between the welding spots.The ant colony algorithm is used to solve the problem.Aiming at the shortcomings that the ant colony algorithm is apt to fall into the local optimal solution because of improper setting of parameters,this paper proposes that the parameters of ant colony algorithm are optimized by orthogonal test and regression analysis.The optimal parameters are obtained by orthogonal experiment,through regression analysis,the relationship between the key parameters and the optimal solution is clarified,and the hypothesis test verifies that it meets the quadratic function and finally obtains the optimal or approximate optimal solution.The results show that the improved ant colony algorithm can get the best or approximate optimal path of the welding robot work station.
