[0002] With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the in-depth development of industrial automation, Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV), as an intelligent transportation equipment, is increasingly widely used in modern manufacturing, logistics warehousing, environmental chamber testing and other fields. AGV can realize unmanned handling operations, improve production efficiency, reduce labor costs, and ensure the safety of operations in complex or dangerous environments. Especially in the application scenarios of environmental chamber test vehicles, since test vehicles often need to be tested in a closed and strictly controlled environment, traditional manual handling methods are not only inefficient, but also pose safety risks. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop an AGV control system and method suitable for emergency handling of environmental chamber test vehicles.

[0003] At present, although there are many AGV control systems on the market, most of them are designed for conventional logistics handling and lack support for rapid response and handling capabilities in emergency situations. In the field of environmental chamber test vehicles, once an emergency occurs, such as fire, harmful gas leakage, etc., the test vehicle needs to be quickly transferred to a safe area to avoid casualties and property losses. However, existing AGV systems often cannot meet this demand for fast, accurate and stable handling. In addition, the special conditions in the environmental chamber, such as the control of temperature, humidity, pressure, etc., put higher requirements on the adaptability and reliability of the AGV system. These special conditions may affect the positioning accuracy, communication stability and planning and control of the handling path of the AGV, thereby affecting the efficiency and safety of the entire handling process.

The optimal control sequence of the longitudinal speed and steering wheel angle of the AGV is obtained by real-time rolling optimization. The first one of the optimal control sequence is taken as the real-time control quantity. The formula for iterative optimization using the gradient descent method is as follows: Among them, u * (t) represents the optimized control quantity at the current moment, u * (t-1) represents the control quantity after optimization at the last moment, l r Represents the learning rate.
