Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a path planning method of a robot in one embodiment. The path planning method for the robot in the embodiment can be applied to logistics and warehousing industries, and the robot can independently or cooperatively operate to complete the transportation of goods. Specifically, the robot may be an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV), which is a Vehicle equipped with an electromagnetic or optical automatic guide device, can travel along a predetermined guide path, and has safety protection and various transfer functions. Alternatively, the number of robots may be one or more, and the types of robots may be the same type or different types. The path planning method for the robot provided by the embodiment can enrich the path planning lines of the robot and improve the system operation efficiency. As shown in fig. 1, the path planning method for a robot includes the following steps 102 to 106:
step 102: and receiving a task to be processed, and determining the operation path of the target robot based on the starting point and the end point in the task to be processed.
The task to be processed refers to a task waiting for the robot to process in the system, such as goods waiting for being carried in a warehouse; the target robot may be understood as a robot in the system that can perform the task to be processed. The task to be processed comprises a starting point and an end point of the object to be transported, and the running path of the target robot is determined according to the starting point and the end point of the object to be transported, wherein the running path refers to the walking path from the starting point to the end point of the task of the target robot. Optionally, there may be multiple operation paths determined based on the starting point and the ending point in the task to be processed, and the operation path may be selected from fixed paths. Optionally, the shortest path may be generated according to the starting point and the ending point of the task to be processed.
Specifically, the starting point information and the end point information in the task to be processed are read, the starting point and the end point of the target robot are determined according to the starting point information and the end point information, and a preset path passing through the starting point and the end point is selected from preset map data to serve as an operation path of the target robot.
Step 104: and determining the direction of the running path of the target robot according to the moving direction of the target robot, and performing collision detection on the running paths of at least two target robots based on the direction of the running path.
And performing conflict detection on the running path of the target robot, and detecting whether a conflict point exists on the running path of the target robot, wherein the conflict point can be understood as a part of the running path of the target robot, which is overlapped with the running paths of other robots in the dispatching area. Each operation path can be divided into a plurality of path segments according to the passing nodes, and whether a conflict exists can be judged by comparing the end point and the operation direction of each path segment.
The direction of the running path of the target robot can be determined according to the moving direction of the target robot, specifically, the target robot is communicated with the main control system in real time, and real-time position and posture information is reported, for example, the target robot can be communicated with the main control system in a TCP/IP communication mode. Further, the system performs collision detection on the target robots in the scheduling area based on the direction of the travel path, and it can be understood that the number of the target robots in the scheduling area is at least two.
If there is a conflict between the paths of at least two target robots within the scheduling area, step 106 is performed.
Step 106: when the running paths of the at least two target robots have conflict, the running paths of the at least two target robots are re-planned according to a preset path planning strategy.
When the running paths of at least two target robots have conflict, replanning the running paths of the at least two target robots according to a preset path planning strategy, specifically, determining conflict path sections of the running paths of the at least two target robots, calculating the distance length reaching the conflict path sections along the running path of each target robot, and judging whether the distance length from the target robot running to the conflict path sections is greater than a preset length value; if so, updating the running path of the target robot to be the path reaching the conflict path section; and if not, replanning the operation path of the conflict path section for the target robot.
The path planning method of the robot comprises the steps of receiving a task to be processed, determining the operation path of a target robot based on a starting point and an end point in the task to be processed, determining the direction of the operation path of the target robot according to the motion direction of the target robot, carrying out conflict detection on the operation paths of at least two target robots based on the direction of the operation paths, and when the operation paths of at least two target robots have conflict, re-planning the operation paths of at least two target robots according to a preset path planning strategy. By the method, the path direction is taken into consideration when the robot is subjected to path planning, the detection time of the robot operation conflict can be reduced, the path planning scheme is enriched, and the operation efficiency of the system is improved.
As shown in fig. 2, in one embodiment, the receiving a task to be processed and determining the operation path of the target robot based on the starting point and the ending point in the task to be processed, that is, step 102 further includes the following steps 202 to 204:
step 202: and reading the starting point information and the end point information in the task to be processed.
The target robot is allocated with the tasks to be processed, one target robot can correspondingly execute one task to be processed, and a plurality of robots can cooperatively work and jointly execute the task to be processed. It is to be understood that any robotic task assignment method used in the art can be employed to assign tasks to target robots.
Further, starting point information and end point information in the task to be processed are read, wherein the starting point information represents the starting point position of the goods to be transported, and the end point information represents the end point position of the goods to be transported.
Step 204: and determining a starting point and an end point of the target robot according to the starting point information and the end point information, and selecting a preset path passing through the starting point and the end point from preset map data as a running path of the target robot.
Specifically, after a starting point and an end point of a task to be processed are obtained, a path of the target robot can be planned in an off-line planning mode, and a preset path passing through the starting point and the end point is selected from preset map data to serve as an operation path of the target robot. Optionally, the shortest path may be generated according to the starting point and the ending point of the task, so as to reduce the operation time of the target robot and improve the work efficiency.
As shown in fig. 3, in one embodiment, the collision detection of the operation paths of at least two target robots based on the directions of the operation paths includes the following steps 302 to 306:
step 302: and acquiring nodes passed by the running paths of the at least two target robots, and dividing path sections according to the nodes.
Specifically, in the operation path of the target robot, a plurality of nodes are provided, and path segments can be divided into the operation path by the nodes, and each two adjacent nodes can form one path segment, and optionally, each path segment can be a straight line or a curved line. Optionally, the number of nodes may be set according to requirements.
Step 304: the two end points of each path segment are compared in turn, as well as the direction of the path segment.
Specifically, all path segments in the operation path of the target robot are acquired, the path segments between different target robots in the scheduling area are compared, and two end points of each path segment and the direction of the path segment are sequentially compared. For example, the operation path of the first robot includes a path segment a, a path segment B, and a path segment C, and the operation path of the second robot includes a path segment D, a path segment E, and a path segment F, and the system compares the path segment a with the path segment D, the path segment E, and the path segment F, compares the path segment B with the path segment D, the path segment E, and the path segment F, and compares the path segment C with the path segment D, the path segment E, and the path segment F, respectively, to screen out the path segment where the first robot and the second robot have a conflict.
Step 306: and when the two end points of at least two path sections are the same and the directions are opposite, judging that the running paths of the target robot have conflict.
Specifically, the path is defined by an edge, which is defined by two points. If the two end points of the two path sections are the same, the two path sections are the same road, the motion direction of the target robot is judged at the moment, and if the motion directions of the two target robots are the same, no conflict exists; if the moving directions of the two target robots are opposite, the two target robots conflict.
The direction of the operation path is taken into consideration by the embodiment, and in the process of judging whether the path conflicts, if the motion directions of at least two target robots are the same, the current path can be operated, so that the target robots can realize the front-back following operation, the waiting time of the robots occupied by roads is reduced, and the work efficiency of the system is improved.
As shown in fig. 4, in one embodiment, when there is a conflict between the operation paths of at least two target robots, the operation paths of the at least two target robots are re-planned according to a preset path planning strategy, that is, step 106 includes the following steps 402 to 408:
step 402: determining conflicting path segments of the paths of travel of the at least two target robots.
When the running paths of at least two target robots have conflict, the paths of the target robots need to be re-planned, and at the moment, the conflict path sections of the running paths of at least two target robots are determined according to the conflict detection result. The conflict path section is a path section with the same end point and the opposite path direction.
Step 404: calculating a distance length to the collision path segment along the travel path of each target robot.
Judging the necessity of running through the current path by calculating the distance length to the conflict path section, and controlling the target robot to run to the conflict path section if the distance from the target robot to the conflict path section is long enough; if the distance between the target robot and the conflict path section is too short, removing the path section with conflict and planning the path again; the waiting time of the target robot can be saved, and the operating efficiency of the system can be increased;
step 406: and when the distance length is larger than a preset length value, updating the running path of the target robot to be the path reaching the conflict path segment.
Step 408: and when the distance length is less than or equal to a preset length value, replanning the running path of the conflict path segment for the target robot.
For example, the number of the path segments to be experienced when the target robot operates to the conflict path segment is judged, and if the number of the experienced path segments is greater than 2, the operation path of the target robot is updated to be the path operating to the conflict path segment; and if the number of the experienced path segments is less than or equal to 2, removing all conflict paths and planning the path again.
In one embodiment, step 408 includes: and selecting a preset path which passes through the starting point and the end point and excludes the conflict path section from preset map data according to the starting point and the end point of the task to be processed, which needs to be executed by the target robot, as the running path of the target robot.
As shown in fig. 5, a schematic flow chart of a method for planning a path of an AGV according to an embodiment includes:
step 501: and planning the running path of the AGV by using the offline path.
Step 502: taking the real-time position and attitude information of the other AGVs, detecting whether conflicts exist among the AGVs, and if the conflicts exist, executing step 503; if there is no conflict, step 506 is executed.
Step 503: checking whether the number of paths reaching the nearest conflict point is more than 2, if so, executing a step 505; if not, go to step 504.
Step 504: all conflicting paths are removed and step 501 is performed to plan the path again.
Step 505: the travel path of the AGV is the path to the nearest conflict point.
Step 506: and updating the occupation condition of the running path, binding the AGV and all paths to be run, and starting the AGV to run.
Step 507: and the AGV leaves the running path, removes the binding relationship, and releases the path and the path direction.
Step 508: judging whether the task is finished or not, if not, executing step 501; if so, go to step 509.
Step 509: the AGV is set to be in an idle state.
According to the AGV path planning method, on the basis of path distribution and occupation, the dimension occupied by the path direction is increased, the scheduling based on the path direction distribution is provided, and the AGV can run at high efficiency under the condition that the multiple AGVs are not blocked or collided.
Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a running track of AGVs in an embodiment, for example, fig. 6 shows a running track of 2 AGVs in a map, in which a path is a road capable of bidirectional passage. Specifically, in the initial state, AGV1 is traveling in the figure, i.e., about to travel the road 7-6-3-2-1. Further, AGV2 begins to run, planning an off-line path of 5-4-3-6-9-10. Further, the system starts to calculate whether there is a collision between the AGV2 and the AGV1, and compares the start point, the end point, and the direction of the path to determine whether there is a collision between the 3-6 or 6-3 paths. Further, the number of paths to the start node of the conflicting path is calculated along the travel path of AGV2, and two paths 5-4-3 are needed to reach the conflicting path, and is not greater than 2, then the path 3-6 is removed from the map, and whether the path from node 5 to node 10 can be planned or not can be found again, if not, waiting is performed, and if so, the conflict detection step is repeated. Further, the system issues the path to the AGV2 and the AGV2 begins operation.
According to the path planning method of the robot, the path direction is taken into consideration when the path of the robot is planned, so that the detection time of the operation conflict of the robot can be reduced, the path planning scheme is enriched, and the operation efficiency of the system is improved.
