Detailed Description
In order that the above objects, features and advantages of the present application can be more clearly understood, a detailed description of the present application will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings and detailed description. In addition, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other without conflict.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein in the description of the present application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.
As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application discloses a robot obstacle avoidance control method, including:
step S100, obtaining obstacle detection information and judging whether an obstacle exists in the advancing direction;
the robot may store a scene map and a planned path according to which the robot moves.
Obstacle detection information can be acquired by using a sensor; whether an obstacle exists in the traveling direction is determined based on the obstacle detection information. The sensor may be one or more of a lidar, an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a depth camera.
In order to be able to identify transparent obstacles such as glass, in some embodiments, at least an ultrasonic sensor is used to determine obstacles in the direction of travel.
In order to improve the accuracy of obstacle detection and avoid missing small obstacles, the ultrasonic sensor can be combined with one or more of a laser radar, an infrared sensor and a depth camera on the basis of using the ultrasonic sensor.
In some embodiments, the obstacle detection information may be acquired using a depth camera, a lidar, and an ultrasonic sensor simultaneously. For example, a depth camera may be provided at the top front position of the robot to detect obstacles at different heights; the lidar and the ultrasonic sensor may be arranged at a bottom position or a middle position of the robot. The ultrasonic sensors may be provided in a number of 2 or more, distributed around the front of the robot. The laser radar can be arranged in 1, and is positioned in front of the robot. It will be appreciated that the depth camera, lidar and ultrasonic sensor may be located at other positions as well, depending on the actual requirements. The number of depth cameras, lidar and ultrasonic sensors may also be increased or decreased as desired.
In some embodiments, when the sensor is used to detect an obstacle, obstacle detection information within a front preset range may be obtained. The front preset range may include not only the traveling direction but also regions on both sides of the traveling direction. The obstacle detection information may include not only the position and size of the obstacle but also the moving speed and moving direction of the obstacle. Depending on whether the obstacle is movable or not, the obstacle may be divided into a stationary obstacle and a moving obstacle. And for the moving obstacle, calculating the moving track of the moving obstacle according to the position, the moving speed and the moving direction, and judging whether the moving track of the moving obstacle is intersected with the planned path of the robot or not.
Thus, when the obstacle is judged to exist in the traveling direction, the method not only comprises the step of detecting the static obstacle in the traveling direction, but also comprises the step of moving the obstacle of which the moving track and the planned path have an intersection point.
Furthermore, in order to more accurately judge whether the moving obstacle belongs to the obstacle in the traveling direction, the moving speed of the robot can be acquired, and whether the robot and the moving obstacle reach the intersection point at the same time is judged. Only when the robot and the moving obstacle reach the intersection point at the same time, the obstacle in the advancing direction can be judged.
When determining whether the robot and the moving obstacle reach the intersection at the same time, the robot and the moving obstacle may be used as one mass point, or the sizes of the robot and the moving obstacle may be considered at the same time.
Step S300, when judging that an obstacle exists in the advancing direction, acquiring the current position of the robot and current position image information, wherein the current position image information comprises an image in a target angle range;
the target angle may be set to a fixed value. For example, the target angle may be set to 180 ° in the direction of travel of the robot, i.e. the entire front of the robot. The target angle may also be set to 270 deg., 135 deg. on either side, with the direction of travel of the robot being the centre line. It is understood that the target angle can be freely determined according to actual conditions.
The target angle may also be determined according to the determined obstacle, for example, according to the size of the obstacle preliminarily detected by the sensor, and according to the distance between the obstacle and the robot, the coverage angle of the obstacle relative to the robot is determined, and then the target angle is determined according to the coverage angle.
For example, the margin angle may be increased based on the coverage angle of the obstacle to obtain the target angle. The margin angle is added to provide an image of an area where a new travel path may exist to facilitate planning of the new travel path. The margin angle may be set to a fixed value or may be determined according to the size of the robot. In the latter scheme, the minimum passing angle corresponding to the minimum passing width for the robot to pass through can be determined according to the size of the obstacle and the distance between the obstacle and the robot. The margin angle may be N minimum pass angles, where N is a positive integer. The minimum passing width may be the width of the robot, or may be a width slightly larger than the width of the robot, for example, the width of the robot plus an offset value allowed during movement.
The larger the target angle is, the more information contained in the current position image information is, more help can be provided for subsequent processing, for example, when a new traveling path is planned, not only forward walking can be performed, but also a scheme of backward walking and detour can be planned, and the obstacle avoidance mode is more flexible.
When the current position image information is obtained, the robot can be controlled to rotate the target angle, so that the image in the target angle range is obtained.
Step S500, determining an influence area of the obstacle by combining the obstacle detection information and the current position image information;
the moving obstacles can be divided into interactive moving obstacles and non-interactive moving obstacles according to whether the obstacles can interact or not. The interaction means that the robot can perform communication interaction with the obstacle, for example, path information such as a planning path, a destination position and the like and other information are interacted in a wireless communication mode.
The detected moving obstacles may be human beings or animals, pushed furniture, sweeping robots and other non-interactive robots, and may also be other similar robots. For the robot, communication interaction cannot be performed between the robot and a person, an animal, pushed furniture, a sweeping robot and the like, so that the person, the animal, the pushed furniture, the sweeping robot and the like are non-interactive moving obstacles. For the robots of the same type, path information such as a planning path, a destination position and the like can be interacted among the robots, and the moving speed and the moving direction of one of the robots can be controlled through interaction. Thus, a robot of the same kind may be an interactively movable obstacle. Of course, the movable barrier capable of interacting may also include other kinds of robots as long as the two can perform communication interaction.
Thus, obstacles can be divided into stationary obstacles, interactive moving obstacles and non-interactive moving obstacles.
According to the obstacle detection information, the type of the obstacle in the static obstacle and the moving obstacle can be determined. The determination of the interactive moving obstacle can be performed by performing image recognition on the current position image information, for example, by means of image recognition, the similarity between the moving obstacle and the robot is determined, and if the similarity exceeds a preset determination threshold, the moving obstacle can be determined as the interactive moving obstacle. In some embodiments, the robot may also send an interaction request to the moving obstacle, and if the moving obstacle returns corresponding feedback information, it is determined that the moving obstacle is an interactive moving obstacle, otherwise, it is determined that the moving obstacle is an non-interactive moving obstacle.
Different kinds of obstacles may have different ways of determining their area of influence. For stationary obstacles, the area of influence may be determined directly from the area occupied by the stationary obstacle. In determining the area occupied by the stationary obstacle, it may be performed in combination with the obstacle detection information and the current position image information. By carrying out image recognition on the current position image information, the areas occupied by the obstacles at different heights can be recognized, and the influence areas of the static obstacles are obtained by integrating the areas occupied by the static obstacles at all heights. In this way, the influence area of the stationary obstacle with a narrow lower part and a wide upper part can be effectively identified.
When image recognition is performed on the current position image information, preprocessing may be performed first. And the preprocessing can comprise filtering processing and filling processing. The filtering process is performed to reduce noise and smooth the curve. And filtering processing, including two broad categories of schemes of linear filtering and nonlinear filtering. The linear filtering can adopt a weighted average filtering algorithm of a domain average filtering algorithm and the like, and the nonlinear filtering can adopt a median filtering algorithm, a Gaussian map filtering algorithm and the like. And filling, namely filling holes and gaps by mainly utilizing mathematical morphology algorithms, such as expansion, corrosion, opening operation, closing operation and the like, so that obstacles in the image can be identified in a follow-up manner.
It will be appreciated that since the robot also has its own height, it requires a region of passage as long as there are no obstacles within the height of the robot. Therefore, when the influence area of the stationary obstacle is determined, only the area occupied by the stationary obstacle within the height of the robot may be integrated.
It will be appreciated that the current position image information may be a video, comprising image frames of several consecutive frames. An optical flow algorithm may also be used to perform image recognition on the current position image information.
In some embodiments, multiple obstacles may be detected. When determining the influence areas of the plurality of obstacles, it is also necessary to consider whether the interval between the occupied areas of the plurality of obstacles is greater than the minimum passing width of the robot. And if the interval between the occupied areas of the two obstacles is smaller than the minimum passing width of the robot, regarding the two obstacles as a virtual obstacle, and fusing the occupied areas of the two obstacles together to form the influence area of the virtual obstacle for the use of the subsequent steps.
For the non-interactive moving obstacle, the influence area of the non-interactive moving obstacle can be determined according to the moving speed, the moving direction and the size of the non-interactive moving obstacle, and the planned path, the moving speed and the size of the robot.
For example, the area of influence of a non-interactable moving obstacle may be determined as follows.
Calculating the movement track of the non-interactive moving barrier according to the size, the movement speed and the movement direction of the non-interactive moving barrier, and determining the intersection area of the movement track and the planned path by combining the planned path of the robot;
calculating a first prediction time when the robot starts to enter the intersection area and a second prediction time when the robot leaves the intersection area according to the planned path and the moving speed of the robot;
and calculating the movement track range of the non-interactive moving obstacle between the first prediction time and the second prediction time as the influence area of the non-interactive moving obstacle.
When the movement track of the non-interactive moving obstacle is calculated, the current position image information can be utilized for image recognition, and the type of the non-interactive moving obstacle is determined. The categories of the non-interactive moving obstacles can be classified into a predictable category, a low deviation category and a high deviation category according to the degree of predictability of the moving track. The high deviation category is mainly human and animal, and the movement track of the high deviation category may have a higher deviation relative to the movement track predicted on the duration data. The low deviation category may be an object that has a certain driving capability but can move according to its own plan or rule, such as a sweeping robot that performs a specific task and is not interactive, because of its own driving capability, a certain deviation may occur on a historical movement track. Predictable categories, typically referring to objects without driving capability, such as pushed seats and the like, the movement evasion of which is typically highly predictable. For the high deviation category, when the movement track is predicted, a large deviation amount needs to be added, so that the obtained movement track is a large area. For the low deviation category, when the movement track is predicted, a small offset is added, and the obtained movement track is a relatively large area. And if the category can be predicted, the movement track can be predicted by directly using historical movement data in the detected obstacle information.
For the interactive moving barrier, the robot can interact with the interactive moving barrier to obtain a planned path of the interactive moving barrier;
determining a junction area according to the planned path of the robot and the planned path of the interactive movable barrier;
calculating a first prediction time when the robot starts to enter the intersection area and a second prediction time when the robot leaves the intersection area according to the planned path and the moving speed of the robot;
and calculating the movement track range of the interactive movable barrier between the first prediction time and the second prediction time as the influence area of the interactive movable barrier.
In order to reduce the variation of the new travel path during obstacle avoidance, when the robot interacts with the interactive moving obstacle, a request can be sent to the interactive moving obstacle to request to reduce the moving speed of the interactive moving obstacle. Therefore, the moving track range of the interactive moving barrier between the first prediction time and the second prediction time can be reduced, and the influence area of the interactive moving barrier is further reduced.
It will be appreciated that in some cases, by reducing the speed of movement of the interactive moving obstacle, the robot and the interactive moving obstacle may not reach the intersection at the same time, and the interactive moving obstacle may no longer constitute an obstacle in the direction of travel.
In some embodiments, when the robot interacts with an interactive moving obstacle, task priorities can be interacted, a party with a high task priority can pass through the robot preferentially, and a party with a low task priority needs to avoid the obstacle. At this time, if the task priority of the robot is higher than the interactive moving obstacle, the influence area of the interactive moving obstacle is 0. Otherwise, the determination may be made according to the method of determining the influence area of the interactive moving obstacle. It is to be understood that, when determining the one that preferentially passes through, the one that has the shorter distance may be selected as the one that preferentially passes through, based on the distance between the robot and the intersection area and the distance between the movable obstacle that can interact with the intersection area.
And step S700, planning a new traveling path of the robot according to the influence area of the obstacle, the current position and the target position of the robot.
After the influence area of the obstacle, the current position and the target position of the robot are obtained, a new traveling path of the robot can be planned according to a tangent path algorithm.
For example, as shown in the figure, it is assumed that the robot is at the position a, the area of influence of the obstacle S is a circular area of Rs, and the destination position is B, then according to the tangent path algorithm, a tangent path from the position a to the circular area of Rs may be taken as a tangent path of the robot avoiding the obstacle S, such as a-C1 (or another tangent path a-C2) from the position a to the position C1. Then, from the position C1, a predicted path to the destination position B, namely C1-B, is planned. Two paths in front and at the back, namely the tangent path A-C1 and the predicted path C1-B, can jointly form a new traveling path A-C1-B.
When the area of influence of the obstacle S is not circular, there may be two or more tangential paths. At this time, the tangential path with the minimum length can be selected, and then the predicted path is planned according to the target position, so as to obtain a new traveling path of the robot.
It is to be understood that, when there are a plurality of tangential paths, a predicted path to the target position may be calculated for each tangential path, and then the one with the smallest sum of the tangential paths and the predicted path may be selected and identified as the new travel path of the robot.
And step S900, performing drive control according to the planned new travel path.
After the new travel path is determined, the robot can move accordingly. In the subsequent moving process, the method can be continuously repeated, and a new traveling path is planned again aiming at the newly encountered obstacles.
According to the obstacle avoidance control method for the robot, when the obstacle exists in the advancing direction, image information in a target angle range is collected, the influence area of the obstacle is determined by identifying the image, and then the advancing path of the robot is re-planned according to the influence area of the obstacle. Compared with the existing scheme, the method has the advantages that the obstacles with different heights can be identified by means of image identification combined with the mode that the sensor detects the obstacles, respective influence areas are determined according to the obstacles with different types, the obstacles with different forms can be effectively dealt with, and the obstacle avoidance flexibility is improved; in addition, the image for identification is acquired within a certain rotation angle range, so that the problem of dead angles can be avoided, and the accuracy of obstacle avoidance is effectively improved.
