Abstract:This paper focuses on the operational challenges of autonomous forklifts in complex and dynamic industrial environments. It explores the principles of key real-time obstacle avoidance algorithms and proposes a compliance verification framework for the functionality and performance of such algorithms based on the requirements for autonomous industrial vehicles specified in ISO 3691—2024 Industrial trucks—Safety requirements and verification. It analyzes multi-sensor fusion strategies involving LiDAR, vision, ultrasonic, and other technologies, and describes dynamic path replanning and safety logic based on environmental perception. A verification system bridging algorithmic engineering and safety regulations has been established, covering perception reliability, decision-making rationality, actuation response, and functional safety integrity assessment. This system provides both theoretical and practical foundations for the safe deployment, inspection, and certification of autonomous forklifts. This study offers significant guidance for improving the robustness, safety, and regulatory compliance of autonomous forklifts under real-world operating conditions.
