Abstract: In order to solve the problems of low efficiency and large tracking errors in outdoor unmanned forklift path planning, a kinematic model of outdoor unmanned forklift is established. By constructing a path cost function and combining simulated annealing optimization, redundant nodes are removed to improve the search efficiency and path smoothness of the A* algorithm. On this basis, with speed and heading angle as input variables, a fuzzy controller is designed to dynamically adjust the preview distance of the pure tracking algorithm, and simulation and real vehicle experiments are carried out. The results indicate that the improved A* path planning algorithm reduces path length by 4.5% and turns by 98.7%. The dynamic preview distance pure tracking algorithm using fuzzy control reduces the maximum error by 58.7% in curve tracking, significantly improves path smoothness and tracking accuracy, and can be effectively applied to complex industrial application scenarios.
