<![CDATA[Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are becoming integral to applications ranging from industrial automation to urban mobility. A core challenge in deploying AMRs effectively is the path planning problem determining an optimal and collision-free path from a start to a goal location within a given environment. This paper proposes a novel method, Dhouib-Matrix-SPP (DM-SPP), that enhances path planning efficiency and adaptability for AMRs operating in different statistical environment. Basically, DM-SPP is developed to unravel the shortest path in a graph and based on columns-rows structure with polynomial computational time. Here, the DM-SPP method is adapted to plan the shortest feasible path between two positions while avoiding obstacles. In order to prove the validity of the proposed DM-SPP method, it is applied to different environments and compared to different case studies taken from the literature. The simulation results show that the DM-SPP method was able to find, with a significantly lower number of iterations, the optimal solutions in comparison with other results obtained by the genetic algorithm (GA) method. DM-SPP presents an overall average improvement in computation time of (37882.55%) compared to the GA, which can reduce search and execution time.]]>
