Background
The express delivery burst refers to that an express company suddenly receives too many express items, the express company cannot sort the express items in time, even cannot receive the express items, and a large number of express items are left at an initial station or a transfer station. The time to reach the destination is relatively long. 11/2012, large-scale sales promotion of several large e-merchants such as the Tianmao mall, the Taobao and the like becomes a shopping fierce festival, a large number of orders are submitted by consumers, a logistics peak is formed after the fierce festival of shopping, a large number of goods are still accumulated in a logistics warehouse until 13 days and 14 days after twenty-one, express delivery is slowed down and delivered, and the complaint amount of the consumers is increased.
The 'explosion' mainly has two reasons, on one hand, the electronic commerce develops rapidly, but the investment of manpower, infrastructure and the like in the logistics industry cannot catch up with the development speed of the electronic commerce, and partial phenomenon of supply and demand imbalance appears. On the other hand, the delivery capacity is limited due to factors such as shortage of diesel oil supply, and the like, so that the arrival period is prolonged. The vigorous development of the express delivery industry rapidly changes the life and shopping modes of people, and achieves the rapid development of part of enterprises and even industries.
In order to avoid the situation of bin explosion, the rapid sorting operation needs to be performed on the goods in each large-scale bin for storing express goods. At present, although the cloud computing technology is mature, research on application scenarios of the cloud computing technology is still continuously carried out, for example, technical solutions for subdividing the field into large warehouse goods sorting are also required to be supported by the cloud computing technology.

In the cloud-computing robot drive control system: the determined driving direction of the driving mechanism for driving the sorting robot main body to move towards the goods target corresponding to the image area is as follows: the determined traveling driving mechanism controls the traveling direction of the sorting robot main body towards the goods target corresponding to the image area to be farther away from the position of the sorting robot main body and be perpendicular to the direction of the imaging plane of the front capture mechanism.
In the cloud-computing robot drive control system: in the stored scene image, the value of the abscissa and the value of the ordinate of each pixel point are set by a horizontal coordinate system established by taking the pixel point at the lower left corner in the stored scene image as the origin.
In the cloud-computing robot drive control system: the centroid of the image area is a pixel point in the image area in the stored scene image.
In the cloud-computing robot drive control system: the centroid of the image area is a pixel point in the image area in the stored scene image, and the centroid of the image area comprises: and when the centroid of the image area is not at the position of any pixel point in the stored scene image, correcting the centroid of the image area into the pixel point closest to the centroid of the image area.

Meanwhile, in order to overcome the defects, the invention also builds a cloud computing type robot driving control terminal, and the terminal comprises: a memory and a processor, the processor coupled to the memory;
wherein the memory is used for storing executable instructions of the processor;
wherein the processor is configured to invoke executable instructions in the memory to implement a method of using the cloud computing type robot drive control system as described above to determine a drive strategy for a sorting robot based on the relative position of the sorting robot to its nearest respective type of cargo.
In addition, FLASH memory chips are nonvolatile memories, and blocks of memory cells called blocks can be erased and reprogrammed. The write operation of any FLASH device can only be performed in empty or erased cells, so in most cases, the erase must be performed before the write operation can be performed. While it is simple for a NAND device to perform an erase operation, NOR requires that all bits in the target block be written to 0 before an erase can be performed.
Since erasing NOR devices is performed in blocks of 64-128 KB, the time for performing a write/erase operation is 5s, whereas erasing NAND devices is performed in blocks of 8-32 KB, which requires only 4ms at most to perform the same operation.
The difference in block size when performing erasures further increases the performance gap between NOR and NADN, and statistics show that for a given set of write operations (especially when updating small files), more erase operations must be performed in NOR-based cells.
