Abstract: Disclosed is an automatic hoisting and transporting method for a tower crane, the method including: building a three-dimensional grid model for a construction site, and generating a grid node set; generating an obstacle node set and a feasible area node set; obtaining coordinates of an initial node and an end node; planning a hoisting and transporting path from the initial node to the end node, and generating corresponding operating parameters; controlling the tower crane to transport an object according to the operating parameters, and calculating a swing range of the hoisted and transported object and a swing arm at a current position; determining whether a collision may occur; and predicting whether the tower crane may be overturned. The method realizes automatic hoisting and transporting of the tower crane. The object does not collide with an obstacle during hoisting and transporting, thereby ensuring safe operation of the tower crane.
