Regular inspection of historic buildings is essential, while path planning of the building inspection is challenging because it requires comprehensive coverage at a low cost. Most of the previous research does not consider the multiple buildings’ environment. In this paper, a three-dimensional path planning approach is proposed to provide the inspection for multiple buildings. The proposed Helix-HPSO approach generates the helix-shaped path for each building and uses HPSO for path planning between buildings. The computational experiment validates the proposed approach. The helix-shaped path costs less than the traditional back-and-forth path for building inspection. HPSO is compared with other bio-inspired algorithms for optimization problems and PSO for path planning.
