In recent years, research on car-like robots has received more attention due to the rapid development of artificial intelligence from diverse disciplines. As essential parts, path planning and lateral path tracking control are the basis for car-like robots to complete automation tasks. Based on the two-degree-of-freedom vehicle dynamic model, this study profoundly analyzes the car-like robots’ path planning and lateral path tracking control. Three objectives: path length, path smoothness, and path safety, are defined and used to construct a multi-objective path planning model. By introducing an adaptive factor, redefining the selection of reference points, and using the cubic spline interpolation for path determination, an improved NGSA-III is proposed, which is mostly adapted in solving the multi-objective path planning problem.

In this paper, a high-efficiency and low-cost lithium-ion battery pack active balance system is designed. It adopts a distributed structure and consists of three parts: auxiliary power module, one-way isolated DC/DC conversion module, and a battery group. The battery single cells in the battery pack are layered and divided into m battery groups in total, and each battery group is composed of n battery single cells. Each battery group is connected to an isolated DC/DC conversion module, and all the conversion modules are connected in parallel with the auxiliary power. Taking the SOC average value of the all-single cells in one battery group as the balancing variable, the auxiliary power is controlled to charge the battery group with the lower SOC average value, so that the difference of the SOC average value of all battery groups is within the set threshold range, so as to realize the active balance of each battery group.
