As shown in fig. 2, an X-Y coordinate system is established with a projection of a mounting position of a gyroscope (a gyroscope center point) on a horizontal plane as an origin, an X-axis direction indicates a front-rear direction of the dispensing robot, a Y-axis direction indicates a left-right direction of the dispensing robot, and shortest distances SX1, SX2, SY1, SY2 projected on the horizontal plane from the gyroscope center point (origin) to front, rear, left, and right side surfaces of the robot housing are defined as linear distances between the robot housing and the gyroscope origin. The gyroscope installation information and the linear distance between the robot shell and the gyroscope origin are used for analyzing whether the distribution robot collides in the distribution advancing process so as to judge whether the multiple robots can pass through the same path at the same time.
The robot cooperative control method of the present invention is further described below, and the robot cooperative control method of the present invention includes the steps of:

the robot scheduling terminal schedules a delivery robot to execute a delivery task according to the robot calling instruction, and sends walking path information (such as path map information) of the delivery robot executing the delivery task and about to execute the delivery task and obstacle avoidance auxiliary information of the robot to the cooperative control terminal;
the cooperative control terminal analyzes the walking path information of the delivery robot sent by the robot scheduling terminal, and judges whether the delivery robot executing the delivery task has the possibility of collision or not by combining the obstacle avoidance auxiliary information of the robot, wherein the judgment method comprises the following steps: analyzing whether the robot in a walking area meets other delivery robots or not according to the walking path information of the delivery robots, if the walking area has intersection, namely meets other delivery robots at a certain position, further determining which side face of the meeting delivery robot is possible to collide according to the walking path information, then calculating an anti-collision threshold, wherein the anti-collision threshold is determined according to the linear distance between a robot shell and an origin of a gyroscope, and the anti-collision threshold is Sa+Sb+ Q, S in the formulaa、SbRespectively representing the shortest distance between the projections of the side surfaces of two meeting delivery robots which are likely to collide on the horizontal plane and the gyroscope origin of each robot, wherein Q is a fault tolerance value, and the fault tolerance value is an empirical value, and can be determined according to actual conditions, for example, for two delivery robots which walk in opposite directions and meet, if the fact that a certain delivery robot a is likely to collide with the right side surface of another delivery robot b is analyzed, S isaA linear distance SY1 projected on a horizontal plane to the origin of the gyroscope of the dispensing robot aa,SbFor delivery robot bProjected on the horizontal plane of the right side of the housing to the origin of the gyroscope of the dispensing robot b, a linear distance SY1bFault tolerance value Q is 10cm, anti-collision threshold value SY1a+SY1b+ 10; after the anti-collision threshold values of the two distribution robots are calculated, the cooperative control terminal further judges whether the distance between the walking paths of the two robots at the positions where the distribution robots meet is larger than the anti-collision threshold value or not, and if so, collision does not occur; as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the walking path information of the delivery robots, the cooperative control terminal further analyzes the number of passable robots in a region (meeting position) where a collision may occur, and if the number of delivery robots passing through the region where a collision may occur in a certain time period (when the delivery robots meet) exceeds the number of passable robots, the cooperative control terminal sends an instruction to each robot scheduling terminal to suspend sending the delivery robots to the region, so that the delivery robots in the region execute an avoidance task;

after the delivery robots stop moving, the cooperative control terminal schedules the passing sequence of the delivery robots, if the collision prevention threshold of the delivery robots is judged to simultaneously pass through the passage, a pass instruction is sent to the robot scheduling terminal to control the delivery robots to continue moving, otherwise, the cooperative control terminal arranges the passing sequence of the delivery robots according to the priority levels of the delivery tasks of the robots, the delivery robots with emergency delivery tasks preferentially pass through, and when the levels of the delivery tasks are the same, for example, the delivery tasks are all the emergency delivery tasks or all the common delivery tasks, the passing sequence of the delivery robots is arranged according to the arrival time sequence, and the delivery robots that come first walk first. Furthermore, for a plurality of distribution robots executing common distribution tasks, the cooperative control terminal firstly judges which direction has a large number of distribution robots in two directions, preferentially allows one of the plurality of distribution robots to pass through, and the other distribution robot to avoid, and when the number of the distribution robots in the two directions is equal, the cooperative control terminal carries out scheduling according to the principle of first-come first-go and then-go avoiding, so that the situations that the plurality of distribution robots collide and cannot normally pass when needing to pass through a certain narrow passage in a similar time period are avoided.
As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, after the cooperative control terminal sends a stop moving instruction to the robot scheduling terminal to which the delivery robot that may collide, if it is found that there are still delivery robots in a moving state, for example, the delivery robot does not correctly receive the stop moving instruction sent by the robot scheduling terminal, or the delivery robot does not start executing the stop moving instruction although receiving the stop moving instruction, the cooperative control terminal sends an avoidance instruction to the robot scheduling terminal to which the delivery robot that may collide by the moving state belongs, the robot scheduling terminal controls the delivery robot that may collide to perform avoidance, and during avoidance, the actively-avoided delivery robot detects a feasible back distance by using its own obstacle avoidance distance measuring sensor and uploads the feasible back distance to the cooperative control terminal via the robot scheduling terminal in real time, when the cooperative control terminal analyzes that the feasible retreat distance reaches the maximum value of the four values SX1, SX2, SY1 and SY2 of the actively-avoided distribution robot, the cooperative control terminal sends a turning instruction to the robot dispatching terminal, and the robot dispatching terminal controls the distribution to turn and exit the area.
The invention can realize the unified cooperative scheduling of the distribution robots of multiple brands and multiple navigation systems, and avoid the abnormal conditions that the distribution robots may collide and the like due to the difference of the navigation systems or avoidance strategies, thereby smoothly completing the distribution tasks.
