Abstract

To reliably realize the functions of autonomous navigation and cruise of logistics robots in a complex logistics storage environment, this paper proposes a new robot navigation system based on vision and multiline lidar information fusion, which can not only ensure rich information and accurate map edges, but also meet the real-time and accurate positioning and navigation in complex logistics storage scenarios. Simulation and practical verification showed that the robot navigation system is feasible and robust, and overcomes the problems of low precision, poor robustness, weak portability, and difficult expansion of the mobile robot system in a complex environment. It provides a new idea for inspection in an actual logistics storage scenario and has a good prospective application.
