Abstract

A method for navigating an automated guided vehicle is provided. The method includes: generating an environment map for an automated guided vehicle and setting a target position, wherein the environment map at least includes an open region and a barrier region; generating a first navigation path on the environment map according to the target position; optimizing the first navigation path by using a dichotomy method to generate a second navigation path; orthogonalizing the second navigation path to generate a third navigation path, wherein every two adjacent line segments in the third navigation path are orthogonal to each other; and navigating the automated guided vehicle to the target position using the third navigation path. The method for navigating the automated guided vehicle according to the invention optimizes navigation paths.
