Design of ROS Robot Tracing Navigation Control System Based on Virtual Navigation Paths

With the rapid development of robot technology, more and more robots are being applied to various complex environments, such as intelligent transport vehicles in the logistics industry, greeting robots in the service industry, and sweeping robots. These robots need to move along specific routes, so it is crucial to develop an effective robot tracing navigation control system. In this paper, a robot tracing navigation control system based on virtual navigation paths is proposed to address the problems of existing robot tracing navigation systems, which are susceptible to environmental influences, have poor robustness, poor controllability, and low navigation accuracy. The system obtains the surrounding environmental information of the robot, builds a map using Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) methods, and builds a virtual navigation route based on this map. It then adjusts the motion state of the robot in real-time to move along the virtual navigation path. Experimental results show that the tracing navigation method of this system has strong robustness, high navigation accuracy, and good controllability, making it suitable for robot tracing navigation in complex environments.
