Coverage path planning (CPP) finds the shortest feasible paths passing through all points of an environment while avoiding obstacles. Previous studies usually assume that a robot has infinite power and can fully cover the workspace with only one charge, but most mobile robots run under a limited energy budget. This study focuses on the CPP problem for a mobile robot with constrained energy power that satisfies two main optimization objectives: the total distance and the number of repeated cells. We propose a hybrid algorithm between the Boustrophedon and the partition tree group algorithms, namely B-WZone, for the CPP with energy constraints. The performance of this algorithm is compared with existing methods. The experimental results showed that the B-WZone algorithm helps the robot reduce energy consumption and traveling time in all the tested environments.
