The invention discloses a shortest annular path navigation method for an automatic guide transport
cart and the transport
cart. A shortest one-way annular path required by a mission is found out in anadjacent matrix through a Dijkstra
algorithm; the shortest one-way annular path determined in step 2 is input into a centrally-controlling
machine, and an industrial
personal computer controls a driving module to drive the automatic guide transport
cart; a
binocular vision sensor and a high-speed image collecting
system collect information, and determine the position of the cart in a ground coordinate
system; the centrally-controlling
machine sends position correcting information to the industrial
personal computer according to the actual position and the movement state. By means of the one-way annular path
planning method, the Dijkstra
algorithm is adopted for achieving the
shortest path search between two points in a non-negative-weight map in a shortest path
algorithm, the path planning efficiency for the automatic guide transport cart is improved, and thus the difficulty of path planning is reduced; moreover, through real-time correction of the
binocular vision sensor and the high-speed image collecting
system, it is guaranteed that the automatic guide transport cart is prepared to arrive at the target position through the shortest path.
