In order to understand the technical characteristics, content and advantages of the creation and the effects that can be achieved by the examiner, the author will cooperate with the schema and explain the following in the form of the embodiment, and the schema used therein The subject matter is only for the purpose of illustration and supplementary instructions. It is not necessarily the true proportion and precise configuration after the implementation of the original creation. Therefore, the proportions and configuration relationships of the attached drawings should not be interpreted or limited in the actual implementation scope. First described.

Please refer to Figures 1 to 4; Figure 1 is the first block diagram of the unmanned vehicle system of the creation; Figure 2 is the second block diagram of the unmanned vehicle system of the creation; A third-party block diagram of the created unmanned vehicle system; Figure 4 is a fourth block diagram of the unmanned vehicle system of the present creation. As shown in the figure, the unmanned vehicle system 1 includes a carrier body 11, a positioning module 12, a processing module 13, and a driving module 14; the positioning module 12 generates a positioning signal corresponding to the position and direction of the carrier body 11, further The positioning module 12 can set the environment, set the reference positioning point coordinates, set the wall position, and set the target position; the processing module 13 receives the positioning signal to generate the control signal; the driving module 14 receives the control signal, and according to the control signal The drive carrier body 11 travels.

The positioning module 12 can be an electronic compass or a Global Positioning System (GPS); when the unmanned vehicle system 1 is working outdoors, GPS can be used for positioning; and when working indoors, an electronic compass can be used. Positioning. The above is only an example and should not be limited to this.

The unmanned vehicle system 1 preferably includes a remote server 15, and the processing module 13 can include a wireless communication unit 131 (which can be a Zeebee, WiFi, or other wireless communication unit), and the remote server 15 can generate a planned path.
