Problems solved by technology

At present, the common operation mode is "back" path planning. This mode has a simple algorithm and is easy to improve. However, in an environment with many obstacles, there will be a situation where the dead zone cannot move forward, resulting in the inability to complete the full-coverage cleaning work.
[0003] The dead zone refers to that the grid in front of the sweeping robot has been marked as an obstacle area, cleaned area or reaching the boundary, and other directions have been marked as cleaned areas or obstacle areas, so that the sweeping robot cannot continue to follow the original schedule. Plowing and mulching routes for sweeping

Embodiment

[0034] Example: The cleaner cleans counterclockwise according to the set inner spiral running track, such as figure 2 As shown in , the cleaning robot needs to complete full-coverage cleaning from the lower left corner of the grid map, which is the black disc, as shown in image 3 As shown, the completed working environment map, the circle connection in the figure indicates the cleaning path of the cleaning robot, and the small black square indicates the path of the cleaning robot jumping out of the dead zone after falling into the dead zone, as shown in figure 1 As shown, the specific path planning method is as follows:

[0035] S1 Construct a grid map of the cleaning area of ​​the cleaning robot. Starting from any grid on the grid map boundary, the cleaning robot cleans counterclockwise according to the set inner spiral trajectory, and records the cleaned grids. It is recorded that the grid cleaning robot no longer performs repeated cleaning; the grid map construction meth...

Abstract

The invention discloses a full-coverage path planning method of a cleaning robot and belongs to the field of intelligent control technologies. According to the method, when the cleaning robot enters adead zone and cannot advance, a non-swept grid closest to the cleaning robot is found through a wildfire algorithm, then the shortest path from the cleaning robot to the closest non-swept grid is planned through an A* algorithm, the cleaning robot jumps out of the dead zone according to the planned path and then continues to move forwards to perform sweeping work, and therefore it can be guaranteed that the cleaning robot completes full-coverage sweeping work.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a robot path planning method, in particular to a full-coverage path planning method for a cleaning robot, belonging to the technical field of intelligent control. Background technique [0002] The full-coverage path planning of the cleaning robot includes the reciprocating "comb"-shaped path planning and the inner-spiral "back"-shaped path planning. The cleaning rules for round-trip path planning are: first, prevent the cleaning robot from being in a certain corner of the room; then, travel in a certain direction, adopt an obstacle avoidance strategy when encountering an obstacle, and move a car body to turn around and continue when it encounters a wall Marching, moving back and forth in such a way as to traverse the entire environment. Inner helical path planning is to let the robot move clockwise or counterclockwise along the boundary of the wall according to the "back" path. When the sensor carried by the robot detects that...
