In this article, hybridization of IWD (intelligent water drop) and GA (genetic algorithm) technique is developed and executed in order to obtain global optimal path by replacing local optimal points. Sensors of mobile robots are used for mapping and detecting the environment and obstacles present. The developed technique is tested in MATLAB simulation platform, and experimental analysis is performed in real-time environments to observe the effectiveness of IWD-GA technique. Furthermore, statistical analysis of obtained results is also performed for testing their linearity and normality. A significant improvement of about 13.14% in terms of path length is reported when the proposed technique is tested against other existing techniques.
