Returning to fig. 4, step S402, the gear of the defense area is switched to the gear adapted to the condition of the working condition.
In this step, , the farther the AGV100 is from the end point, the longer the obstacle avoidance distance of the selected gear, the closer the AGV100 is to the end point, and the shorter the obstacle avoidance distance of the selected gear, when the AGV100 is loaded with cargo, this is called a "heavy-car" state, and the maximum obstacle avoidance distance of the selected defense area should be longer than the maximum obstacle avoidance distance of the selected defense area when the AGV100 is not loaded with cargo.
Specifically, in order to facilitate the control unit 130 to select a suitable gear, the control unit 130 may have a corresponding relationship table built therein, where the corresponding relationship table records a distance interval and/or a corresponding relationship between cargo and a gear, and the step of switching the gear of the defense area to the adapted gear according to the working condition includes the following steps S501 to S502:
