Abstract

A method for path planning, an automatic gardening device, and a computer program product are provided. The method includes: receiving a preset travel direction in a work region; dividing the work region into a plurality of subregions; determining, for each of the subregions, an actual planned direction in the subregion from the preset travel direction and a recommended planned direction in the subregion, and determining a local planned path corresponding to the subregion based on the actual planned direction, wherein a path of traversing the subregion along the recommended planned direction has a shortest length; acquiring a moving sequence between the subregions; and determining a global planned path of the work region based on the local planned path of each of the subregions and the moving sequence between the subregions.
