摘要:

针对货到人拣选系统大规模多AGV(automated guided vehicle)路径规划中由于转弯和避障导致行驶时间增长的问题,考虑空载AGV可穿行货架建立以任务完成时间最短为目标的路径规划模型,并通过改进A*算法对该问题进行求解。对AGV运行阶段进行划分,在A*算法中引入转弯惩罚值减少转弯次数,利用避障等待时间设置避障优先级。仿真实例结果表明考虑转弯和避障的可穿行货架路径规划方法能够降低任务完成时间和行走路径长度,在提高拣选系统作业效率方面具有参考价值。

Abstract:

Aiming at the problem of increasing travel time due to turning and obstacle avoidance in robotic mobile fulfillment systems(RMFS) with large-scale multi-AGV path planning, a path planning model with the shortest task completion time is established. A path planning model considering no-load AGV that can pass through the shelf is proposed, and the model is solved by an improving A* algorithm. The AGV operation stage is divided, an turning penalty value is introduced into the A* algorithm to reduce the turning times, and the obstacle avoidance priority with the obstacle avoidance waiting time is set. The simulation results show that the new path planning method considering turning and obstacle avoidance can reduce task completion time and travel path length, and improve order picking efficiency of the warehouse of a distribution center.

Key words: RMFS (robotic mobile fulfillment systems), multi-AGVs path planning, walk under shelves, turning time, obstacle avoidance strategy, A* algorithm
