To address the current reliance on manual labor in traditional logistics sorting operations, which leads to low sorting efficiency and high operational costs, this study presents the design of an unmanned logistics vehicle based on the Robot Operating System (ROS). To overcome bounding-box loss issues commonly encountered by mainstream video-stream image segmentation algorithms under complex conditions, the novel SMITE video image segmentation algorithm is employed to accurately extract key regions of mail items while eliminating interference. Extracted logistics information is mapped to corresponding grid points within a map constructed using Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). The system performs global path planning with the A* heuristic graph search algorithm to determine the optimal route, autonomously navigates to the target location, and completes the sorting task via a robotic arm, while local path planning is managed using the Dijkstra algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate that the SMITE video image segmentation algorithm maintains stable and accurate segmentation under complex conditions, including object appearance variations, illumination changes, and viewpoint shifts. The PaddleOCR text recognition algorithm achieves an average recognition accuracy exceeding 98.5%, significantly outperforming traditional methods. Through the analysis of existing technologies and the design of a novel parcel-grasping control system, the feasibility of the proposed system is validated in real-world environments.
