In recent years, unmanned cleaning equipment has gradually developed to solve the cleaning problems in people's lives. These devices are usually equipped with sensors and computing units, which can autonomously navigate and perform cleaning tasks. However, existing unmanned cleaning equipment still has problems with insufficient efficiency and accuracy in obstacle avoidance, especially in complex and changing environments. How to effectively identify obstacles and plan a reasonable obstacle avoidance path is a problem that needs to be solved urgently by current technology.

The communication layer device sends a path planning request to the path planning platform; the path planning platform responds to the path planning request information to obtain obstacle map data and lane map data, determines whether the vehicle can avoid obstacles, calculates vehicle turning points, obstacle avoidance end points and obstacle avoidance passing points; calculates and determines a reference path, and locally adjusts the reference path to obtain an adjusted obstacle avoidance path, and then performs a safety check on the obstacle avoidance path to determine the final obstacle avoidance path.
