Research and Design of a Path Planning Algorithm in the Intelligent Logistics Sorting System

摘要

In order to improve the intelligence of the logistics sorting system, a new path planning algorithm is proposed, which enables AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) to sort and transport the parcels automatically. The AGV, applied in model of AGV logistics sorting system presented in this paper, could classify the parcels waiting to be sorted effectively through the input image processing of UVC (USB video class) camera and the independent weight detection. Applying passive RFID positioning technology, a path will be designed to transport the parcels to the designated unloading port. Thus the task of sorting parcels is completed. Compared to the widely used mechanical sorting system, this system makes transport routes more flexible and the sorting more efficient, meanwhile, the cost is lower with the passive RFID network to design the AGV navigation. At last, several simulated texts were well carried out on the experimental platform and the effectiveness and practicability of the system is verified.
