[0002] With the continuous progress and development of society, the demand for logistics and handling by manufacturing enterprises is constantly increasing. Automated production lines are increasingly being used in enterprise production. Intelligent logistics vehicles, as an indispensable link connecting processing facilities and warehousing facilities, are widely used in production. Currently, most logistics and handling robots consist of a mobile module, a gripping module, a storage module, an electronic control module, and a vision module. Among them, the tracking scheme in the mobile module of most handling robots consists of an infrared sensing module. This scheme is highly sensitive to light and requires laying cables on the factory floor. The accuracy of the cable laying directly affects the accuracy of the robot's gripping and handling. Moreover, once the layout of a certain area of ​​the factory changes, the robot will directly lose its ability to handle that area. Therefore, in view of the existing problems of handling robots, it is necessary to design a robot that can autonomously plan its path within a region and achieve precise gripping.

[0003] However, most material handling robots use infrared sensors in their movement modules. This system is sensitive to light and requires laying cables on the factory floor. The accuracy of the cable laying directly affects the accuracy of the robot's grasping and handling. Furthermore, if the layout of a certain area of ​​the factory changes, the robot will lose its ability to handle that area. Utility Model Content
