Logistics Robot Path Planning: A∗ Algorithm Operation and Analysis

Abstract

With the rapid development of the e-commerce market, traditional logistics and warehousing methods are far from meeting the needs of the industry. Logistics robots have great potential in the area of intelligent warehousing. Inspired by this, this paper introduces the path planning principle of A∗ algorithm and the application of A∗ algorithm to find the path in the field of logistics robots. The principle of the A∗ algorithm is to select the grid with the least cost for each step from the starting point until the end point is reached. And it can be applied to the motion control of AGV and other logistics robots.
