  • Publication number: 20250223143
    Abstract: Provided is a path planning method of a handling device, a handling device, and an electronic device. The method includes: based on position information of a target goods placement area in a truck bed and an initial position, determining a handling path corresponding to the target goods placement area, where the handling path includes a first handling path including a turn-around position and a loading-unloading position corresponding to the target goods placement area; sending the handling path to a target handling device such that the target handling device, based on the first handling path, travels to the turn-around position in a forward mode, and rotates at the turn-around position to enable a bearing assembly of the rotated target handling device to face toward the target goods placement area, and then travels, in a backward mode, to the loading-unloading position to perform goods loading or unloading operations.
