The mobile robot scheduling apparatus and method according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention can be applied to the server 100. As shown in fig. 2, the server 100 interacts with a plurality of mobile robots 300 through a network. Fig. 2 shows a block diagram of the server 100 in the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the server 100 includes a mobile robot scheduling apparatus 200, a memory 101, a storage controller 102, one or more (only one shown) processors 103, a peripheral interface 104, and the like. These components communicate with each other via one or more communication buses/signal lines. The mobile robot scheduling device 200 includes at least one software function module which may be stored in the memory 101 in the form of software or firmware (firmware) or solidified in an Operating System (OS) of the server 100.
The memory 101 may be used to store software programs and modules, such as program instructions/modules corresponding to the image processing apparatus and method in the embodiment of the present invention, and the processor 103 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the software programs and modules stored in the memory 101, such as the mobile robot scheduling method provided in the embodiment of the present invention.

In other examples, they may be implemented separately from the individual chips.
It will be appreciated that the configuration shown in fig. 2 is merely illustrative and that server 100 may include more or fewer components than shown in fig. 2 or have a different configuration than shown in fig. 2. The components shown in fig. 2 may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination thereof.
Referring to fig. 3, an embodiment of the present invention provides a mobile robot scheduling apparatus 200, where the mobile robot scheduling apparatus 200 includes an information receiving unit 301, a determining unit 302, a command generating unit 303, an information transmitting unit 304, and a virtual wall generating unit 305.
The information sending unit 304 is further configured to send the moving route, the moving path width, and the moving instruction to at least two mobile robots 300.
The moving route includes one or more moving paths, each of the mobile robots 300 pre-stores the moving route and a moving path width, and the pre-stored moving routes of different mobile robots 300 have an intersection 105, and the path width can only allow one mobile robot 300 to pass through. Each mobile robot 300 stores the movement route and the movement path width after receiving the movement route and the movement path width, and starts and moves along the movement route after receiving the movement instruction, and each mobile robot 300 cannot cross the boundary of the movement path width and enter the area outside the movement path width.
The information receiving unit 301 is configured to receive grid coordinates fed back by starting point positions of at least two mobile robots 300 after receiving the first start instruction. The mobile robot 300 is equipped with a position sensor, and can transmit its own grid coordinates to the information receiving unit 301 in real time.
The virtual wall generation unit 305 generates a virtual wall at a start point position corresponding to the grid coordinates.
The mobile robot 300's own program restricts the mobile robot 300 from being able to cross the virtual wall, thus enabling each mobile robot 300 to advance only in order.
The information receiving unit 301 is further configured to receive grid coordinates fed back by at least two mobile robots 300 during a moving process according to a pre-stored moving route.
The determining unit 302 is configured to determine whether two of the mobile robots 300 both move toward the direction of the intersection 105, whether the grid coordinates of the two mobile robots 300 are on different paths, and whether respective distances from the intersection 105 are within a preset range.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, it can be determined whether two of the mobile robots 300 move towards the intersection 105 according to the moving routes pre-stored in the two mobile robots 300 respectively. When the distance between each of the two mobile robots 300 and the intersection 105 is within the preset range, if both mobile robots 300 continue to move forward, there is a possibility that a jam occurs at the intersection 105, and therefore it is necessary to control one of the mobile robots to stop moving forward.
The instruction generating unit 303 is configured to generate a pause movement instruction if both of the two mobile robots 300 move towards the direction of the intersection 105, the grid coordinates of the two mobile robots 300 are on different paths, and the distances between the two mobile robots 300 and the intersection 105 are within a preset range.
The information sending unit 304 is configured to send a pause movement instruction to the mobile robot 300 that is farther from the intersection 105 in the two mobile robots 300.
The determining unit 302 is further configured to determine whether the mobile robot 300 closer to the intersection 105 of the two mobile robots 300 has passed through the intersection 105 according to the grid coordinates.
When the mobile robot 300 closer to the intersection 105 of the two mobile robots 300 has passed the intersection 105, a second start instruction is sent to the mobile robot 300 farther from the intersection 105 of the two mobile robots 300.
In this embodiment, the mobile robot 300 closer to the intersection 105 has a higher priority, the mobile robot 300 closer to the intersection 105 stops moving for avoiding after receiving the movement stopping instruction, and when the mobile robot 300 closer to the intersection 105 passes through the intersection 105, the mobile robot 300 further from the intersection 105 receives the second start instruction and moves through the intersection 105, thereby preventing the mobile robot 300 from being blocked and enabling the mobile robots 300 to move orderly.
The instruction generating unit 303 is further configured to generate a pause movement instruction when the distance between the two mobile robots 300 on the same movement path is smaller than a preset safety threshold, and the information sending unit 304 is further configured to send the pause movement instruction to the mobile robot 300 that is located behind in the movement direction in the two mobile robots 300 on the same movement path, so that the mobile robots 300 can advance in order.
The information sending unit 304 is further configured to send a pause moving instruction to the mobile robot 300 moving to the destination. When the mobile robot 300 reaches the end point, the grid coordinates are transmitted to the information receiving unit 301, and at this time, the information receiving unit 301 transmits a movement suspension instruction to the mobile robot 300 moving to the end point, and at this time, the mobile robot 300 reaches the end point and suspends the movement.
Referring to fig. 5, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a mobile robot scheduling method, where the mobile robot scheduling method includes:
step S401: the movement route, the movement path width, and the movement instruction are transmitted to at least two mobile robots 300.

The moving route includes one or more moving paths, each of the mobile robots 300 pre-stores a moving route and a moving path width, and the pre-stored moving routes of different mobile robots 300 have an intersection 105, and the path width can only allow one mobile robot 300 to pass through.
Step S405: whether two of the mobile robots 300 move towards the direction of the intersection 105 and whether the grid coordinates of the two mobile robots 300 are in different paths and whether the distances between the two mobile robots 300 and the intersection 105 are within a preset range are determined, and if yes, step S405 is executed.
Step S406: a pause move instruction is generated.
Step S407: a pause movement instruction is sent to the mobile robot 300 that is farther from the intersection 105 of the two mobile robots 300.
Step S408: and judging whether the mobile robot 300 closer to the intersection 105 of the two mobile robots 300 passes through the intersection 105 according to the grid coordinates, and if so, executing the step S409.
Step S409: and sending a second starting instruction to the mobile robot 300 which is far away from the junction 105 in the two mobile robots 300.
Step S410: when the distance between the two mobile robots 300 on the same movement path is less than a preset safety threshold, a pause movement instruction is generated.
Step S411: the pause movement instruction is sent to the mobile robot 300 located at the rear in the movement direction among the two mobile robots 300 located on the same movement path.
Step S412: and sending a pause movement instruction to the mobile robot 300 moving to the terminal.
In summary, when two of the mobile robots move towards the direction of the intersection point and the grid coordinates of the two mobile robots are in different paths and the distances between the two mobile robots and the intersection point are within a preset range, the mobile robot scheduling apparatus and method generate a pause movement instruction, send the pause movement instruction to the mobile robot farther from the intersection point in the two mobile robots, and after the mobile robot closer to the intersection point passes through the intersection point, the mobile robot farther from the intersection point passes through the intersection point again, so that the phenomenon of mutual blocking (the problem that the robot constantly and autonomously plans the path to turn around due to mutual blocking of the robots) does not occur, and because the path width can only allow one mobile robot to pass through, the mobile robot cannot bypass the front mobile robot according to the self obstacle avoidance procedure, only can line up in sequence to advance, so that the mobile robot can move orderly, the normal operation of the mobile robot is ensured, and the operation efficiency of the mobile robot is improved.
