  • Patent number: 11947358
    Abstract: A self-learning method for an obstacle and a self-learning method for a new obstacle are provided. With the self-learning method, in step 1, data of a grid map in a movement region is acquired, and each of grids of the grid map is marked as not being traversed. In step 2, a starting grid of the grid map is set, data of the starting grid is pushed into a stack, a movement unit is controlled to move to the starting grid, and the starting grid is remarked as being traversed. In step 3, the movement unit is controlled to traverse the grid map, and boundary data of the obstacle is acquired based on marks of the grids in the grid map. In step 4, boundary data of the obstacle is stored.

  • Patent number: 11385067
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of navigation. Disclosed is a route planning method for a mobile vehicle, comprising: partitioning an operation area of a mobile vehicle into blocks using a grid cell as a minimum unit to obtain operation blocks, and performing a reciprocating operation in each operation block in a traversing manner; after the mobile vehicle completes the operation in one operation block, moving to another operation block to perform the reciprocating operation therein in the same traversing manner. The present invention can cause a mobile vehicle to obtain a plurality of operation blocks on the basis of an electronic grid map of known information by means of a block partitioning algorithm, and plan an operation route in each operation block by means of a reciprocating and traversing route planning algorithm in each operation block.

  • Patent number: 11334083
    Abstract: A path tracking method is provided. The path tracking method includes obtaining a current location and a current traveling direction of the mobile vehicle, and determining a traveling path along which the mobile vehicle travels to a destination based on the current location and the current traveling direction; simplifying the mobile vehicle into a differential model, establishing a forward objective function of the differential model in the traveling path, and obtaining an optimal solution of the forward objective function; and controlling a speed of the mobile vehicle corresponding to the differential model by using the optimal solution as an optimal differential control variable, until the mobile vehicle reaches the destination. The path tracking method is simple in calculation, adopts algorithms that is naturally stable, and is used in combination with integrated navigation, thereby ensuring stability and reliability of tracking.
