Description

A kind of multirobot collaboration formation method based on client-server architecture
Technical field
The invention belongs to multirobot control field, be related to a kind of collaboration formation method of multirobot, in particular to one Multirobot of the kind based on client-server architecture cooperates with formation method.
Background technique
With the development of science and technology with the development of robot technology, the ability of robot is continuously improved.Robot is as people The novel tool of production of class, is reducing labor intensity, and improves productivity, changes production model, people from dangerous, severe, heavy Working environment under free etc., show great superiority.The field of robot application and range just constantly expand Exhibition, in the industry, mobile robot substantially increases the production efficiency of enterprise;In agricultural production, the investment of robot, liberation Cumbersome heavy manual labor;In national defence, robot can replace people's operation, greatly reduce the injures and deaths of soldier.It can be with , it is envisioned that the application of robot system can bring dramatic change for human society, people's lives quality can be greatly improved, it will Work, agriculture, military level are increased to a new height.Therefore, the research of robot is just particularly important.
Mobile robot research is an important branch in robotics.Multi-robot coordination technology is mobile machine again One important directions of people's research.Although the ability of robot is continuously improved, for one with the development of robot technology A little complicated tasks, individual machine people is no longer best solution.Individual machine people is obtaining information, processing and control etc. The ability of aspect is all limited, and under changeable environment, this defect is especially highlighted, the coordinated control side of multiple mobile robot Method is more and more widely used in practical problem.
Multi-robot system is not the simple algebraic addition of the individual machine people in physical significance, and function and effect are also not The linear summation of individual machine people effect, it should further include one except " linear and " based on interacting between individual Increment.Interaction between this individual includes two factors: " coordination " and " cooperation ".Pass through the coordination between multirobot Cooperation, multirobot can bring the effect much larger than individual machine people into play.By the cooperation between multiple mobile robot, can be improved Efficiency of the robot system in operation process, and then when working environment changes or robot system locally breaks down When, multiple-mobile-robot system still can complete scheduled task by the cooperative relationship that has itself.
Patent CN 103809534A discloses a kind of robot group coordinated control system, includes robot monomer, control Device, signal transmission device, supercomputer terminal signaling transmitter and supercomputer terminal, the transmission of supercomputer terminal signaling Device and supercomputer terminal wirelessly transmit data-signal, and robot monomer, controller and signal transmission device There is at least one, by this cooperation, a group picking robot is made to work in coordination, completes picking work.
Patent CN 105573316A provides a kind of mobile Group Robots of autonomous formation, and the movement Group Robots are extremely It is few to be made of 2 robots, it gathers around there are two types of formation mode, i.e. vision is formed into columns and communicated and forms into columns, and uses different volumes as needed Team's mode can achieve different purposes;Each robot monomer is a complete independent individual, and flexibility is good and intelligent Change degree is high, while robot is at low cost, small in size, stability is good and cost performance is high.
However, it is of the existing technology the disadvantage is that, cooperative control system mode is relatively fixed, depend on powerful calculating ability Computing system, can not achieve real-time control.Therefore, it studies a kind of versatility and the higher multirobot collaboration of flexibility is formed into columns Method is just particularly important.
