Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
According to the embodiment of the invention, no boundary line needs to be pre-embedded, and the phenomena of missed cutting, mistaken cutting and uneven boundary line cutting caused by positioning errors of the mowing robot are effectively reduced through the determination and operation of the virtual boundary area, so that the operation effect of the mowing robot is further ensured.
In order to explain the technical means of the present invention, the following description will be given by way of specific examples.
Example one
Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of a virtual boundary operating method according to a first embodiment of the present invention is shown, which includes the following steps:
in step S1, the map data to be worked is acquired.
The map data to be operated comprises first virtual boundary information, the first virtual boundary information is a virtual boundary line of an area to be operated in a current mowing task, the virtual boundary line is defined as a working area boundary line which cannot be identified by a sensor carried by the robot, if the current working area is a lawn connected with a neighboring lawn, the sensor carried by the robot is a visual sensor, and the visual sensor of the robot cannot identify a boundary line of the two lawns because the connected lawns have no visual distinguishing features, and the boundary line is the virtual boundary line of the working area. The method can be used for preventing the robot from crossing the boundary aiming at the current mowing task, and the virtual boundary line can be a straight line, a curve or a broken line and the like.
Further, the map data to be operated further includes physical boundary information, where the physical boundary information is actual boundary information of an area to be operated, where the actual boundary information is a boundary of a working area that can be identified by a sensor carried by the robot, for example, a boundary where a mowing robot carrying a visual sensor can distinguish a lawn from a cement ground, or a boundary where a mowing robot carrying a collision sensor can distinguish a wall, a fence, or the like, and the boundary is a physical boundary line, and the boundary information of the area to be operated is used to control the mowing robot to perform an operation in a preset area, so that the mowing robot performs a mowing operation on the area to be operated.
And step S2, acquiring a corresponding positioning error according to a preset positioning mode.
The positioning errors caused by different positioning modes are different, so that the positioning errors are obtained in the step based on the current positioning mode applied to the mowing robot.
For example, when the mowing robot currently adopts the GPS as the positioning method, the positioning error is obtained by previously measuring the positioning error under the condition that the GPS environment is relatively severe (such as the existence of trees, house shelter, and the like) as the currently acquired positioning error, and for example, when the mowing robot adopts the inertial navigation as the positioning method, the maximum accumulated error of the mowing robot in the time length is evaluated according to the working time length of the mowing robot which is calibrated according to the non-return reference position after the mowing robot is expected to be fully charged, and is used as the currently acquired positioning error.
Furthermore, in the embodiment, when the positioning of the lawn mowing robot is performed by using the inertial navigation, the position is usually estimated by combining an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and a odometer, wherein the attitude and the heading are mainly obtained by integrating a gyroscope in the IMU, and the position is mainly obtained by integrating the odometer. The error of inertial navigation is accumulated along with the walking mileage, so the error of relative position of the mowing robot can be estimated according to the accumulated walking distance of the mowing robot:
△P=kP;
wherein, Δ P is a positioning error, P is an accumulated displacement, k is an error coefficient, and k can be a constant or a function related to P;
specifically, k may be obtained through an actual test, and the specific test mode may be: an accurate positioning device, such as a high-precision carrier phase difference GPS, is bound on the mowing robot, so that the robot runs different distances on a target field, and the inertial navigation estimated position is compared with the data of a standard measuring device, so that the measurement error of inertial navigation can be obtained.
If the inertial measurement positioning mode is simply adopted, the measurement error is a relative error, if an absolute position error is obtained relative to a site, a certain fixed reference point (such as a charging base station) in the site can be used as a reference point (such as a coordinate origin) of the position, and after the robot leaves the reference point, the position of the robot relative to the reference point is calculated in real time and the position error of the robot is estimated.
When the error reaches a certain threshold value, the robot can return to the base station again to correct the position, so that the error of the robot is controlled within a certain range in the working process. In addition, in order to reduce the influence of factors such as slippage on the error evaluation accuracy, slippage detection can be added to the robot, for example, magnets are added to driven wheels, a Hall detection plate is arranged on a chassis of the robot, and whether the magnetic field changes periodically or not is detected to determine whether the robot slips or not.
In addition, when the position of the robot mower is located by bluetooth, the robot mower is located by triangulation based on RSSI (signal field strength indicator) values. The error of Bluetooth positioning is usually 1-3 meters, which is related to the distance between a Bluetooth Beacon (Beacon) and a receiver, and when the Bluetooth positioning accuracy is actually evaluated, the positioning accuracy can be determined according to the actually measured relation between the Bluetooth positioning accuracy and the distance between the receiver and the Beacon during working.
Step S3, determining a virtual boundary area according to the first virtual boundary information and the positioning error, and performing an operation in the virtual boundary area according to a preset operation path.
Determining a virtual boundary area according to the first virtual boundary information and the positioning error, specifically: translating and positioning the first virtual boundary to obtain a virtual boundary area; or adding a preset distance to the first virtual boundary translation positioning error to obtain a virtual boundary area, wherein the preset distance is greater than or equal to 0.
Specifically, referring to fig. 2, 3 and 4, in this step, the first virtual boundary B may be translated toward the area to be worked a by a distance s3 according to the positioning error s3 to obtain a second virtual boundary c, and an area formed by the second virtual boundary c, the first virtual boundary B and boundary lines on two sides of the area to be worked a is set as the virtual boundary area B. Referring to fig. 2, fig. 3 and fig. 4, the virtual boundary area may be the virtual boundary area B, or may be a virtual boundary area B, and in the case of the virtual boundary area B, the acquisition mode comprises the following steps of determining a virtual boundary area B according to the virtual boundary area B, the positioning error and the preset distance, the predetermined distance may be equal to the positioning error, the area of the virtual boundary region B is greater than or equal to the virtual boundary region B, it specifically comprises a part of the area A to be operated, which is close to the virtual boundary area, and operates according to the virtual boundary operation area, the virtual boundary working area and the common area where the area to be worked a partially coincide with each other, by the acquisition of the virtual boundary working area and the repeated working of the common area, the problem of incomplete operation caused by large positioning error can be effectively avoided, and the effect of missed cutting is effectively prevented.
Specifically, referring to fig. 2, 3, and 4, the boundary b is translated to the area a to be operated by s2, s2 is the sum of the positioning error s3 and the preset distance, that is, s2 is not less than s3, so as to obtain a boundary a, an area formed between the boundary a, the first virtual boundary b, and the boundary lines on both sides of the area a to be operated is set as a virtual boundary area b, and an area formed between the boundary a and the second virtual boundary c is a common area where the virtual boundary area coincides with the area a to be operated, and the common area is operated in the virtual boundary area, and is operated in the common area in the area a to be operated, and is operated in the common area repeatedly, so that the problem of incomplete operation caused by a large positioning error can be effectively avoided, and the effect of missing cutting can be effectively prevented.
Further, in this step, the first virtual boundary information includes a first virtual boundary, and the step of performing the operation in the virtual boundary area according to the preset operation path further includes:
according to the first virtual boundary information, performing reciprocating operation in the virtual boundary area in a direction parallel to the first virtual boundary; or
Acquiring the shape attribute of the virtual boundary area, and acquiring a target track according to the shape attribute;
and performing operation in the virtual boundary area according to the target track.
When the virtual boundary area is operated in the mode, grass cutting at the virtual boundary is neat and attractive, and the problem of uneven grass cutting caused by positioning errors is avoided.
The shape attribute is an actual environment shape of the virtual boundary area, and different shape attributes correspond to different target tracks, for example, a rectangular virtual boundary area may adopt a zigzag type operation track.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the robot may perform a job along a boundary of the to-be-worked area according to the to-be-worked map data during a working process, obtain the current position information in real time, and determine that the robot is currently located in or close to the virtual boundary area when a distance between the current position information and the virtual boundary is within a preset range, where the robot may perform the job in the virtual boundary area through a preset job path.
The operation track and the operation mode when the operation is carried out along the boundary of the area to be operated can be set according to requirements, the operation track is the running track of the mowing robot, the operation mode comprises a plurality of operation parameters, and the operation parameters can be parameters such as operation power and running speed.
Further, in this step, the current position information of the mowing robot can be acquired by adopting satellite positioning, inertial navigation, bluetooth positioning, UWB (ultra wide band wireless positioning) and other modes.
Specifically, referring to fig. 2, in the embodiment, the mowing track of the mowing robot is a linear reciprocating movement, the mowing robot is controlled to perform a linear reciprocating mowing operation according to the boundary of the area to be worked a, and the current position information of the mowing robot is obtained in real time, so as to obtain the coordinate value of the coordinate point a 1.
Further, referring to fig. 3, in the figure, the first virtual boundary b is a broken line, and when it is determined that the distance s1 between the coordinate point a1 and the first virtual boundary b is within the range of 0 to s3, it is determined that the virtual boundary area is currently located, that is, when it is determined that the maximum distance between the coordinate point a1 and the first virtual boundary b is within the range of 0 to s3, it is determined that the virtual boundary area is currently located, and at this time, the operation can be performed in the virtual boundary area through a preset operation path. And after the virtual boundary area operation is completed, forming a new area A to be operated, wherein the second virtual boundary c of the new area A to be operated is used as a new boundary line. Of course, the operation is performed in the virtual boundary area or in the new to-be-operated area a, and the operation is not limited herein.
Further, referring to fig. 4, in which the first virtual boundary b is a curve, when the distance s1 between the coordinate point a1 and the first virtual boundary b is determined to be within the range of 0 to s2, it is determined that the virtual boundary is currently located in the virtual boundary area, that is, when the minimum distance between the coordinate point a1 and the first virtual boundary b is determined to be within the range of 0 to s2, it is determined that the virtual boundary area is currently located in the virtual boundary area, and at this time, the operation can be performed in the virtual boundary area through the preset operation path. And after the virtual boundary area operation is finished, forming a new area A to be operated, wherein the new area A to be operated or the second virtual boundary c is used as a new boundary line. Of course, the operation is performed in the virtual boundary area or in the new to-be-operated area a during the operation, which is not limited herein, and when the operation is performed on the virtual boundary area, the reciprocating operation along the parallel first virtual boundary may be selected, so that the cutting at the first virtual boundary is orderly.
Further, before performing the job in the virtual boundary area, the method further includes: and acquiring the position of the preset base station, and returning to the position of the preset base station for calibration. The mowing robot can be calibrated by returning to the preset base station before operation, so that the positioning error is minimized, the phenomena of missed cutting, mistaken cutting and uneven cutting at the boundary caused by the positioning error of the mowing robot are effectively reduced, and the mowing efficiency is improved.
According to the embodiment, a boundary line is not required to be pre-embedded, and the phenomena of missed cutting, mistaken cutting and uneven cutting at the boundary caused by positioning errors of the mowing robot are effectively reduced through the determination and operation of the virtual boundary area, so that the operation effect of the mowing robot is guaranteed.

after the step S2 obtaining the corresponding positioning error according to the preset positioning method, the method further includes a step S4, determining the operation width of the virtual boundary area according to the positioning error.
Referring to fig. 2, the operation width is equal to the distance between the boundary a and the first virtual boundary b.
Further, in this embodiment, the positioning error is smaller than or equal to the working width.
