Detailed Description
The invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
as shown in fig. 1, the invention provides a closed apple orchard multi-robot communication system based on a TCP/IP protocol, which comprises at least three orchard robots and an AP communication module; the orchard robot at least comprises a wireless communication module, a power module, an industrial personal computer, a chassis, a CAN bus, a driving motor, a sensor module and a display screen; the AP communication module comprises a 220V outdoor mobile power supply, a PoE module and a wireless AP; the orchard multi-robot formation method includes the steps that orchard multi-robots are formed in a piloting following mode, each robot is connected with a wireless AP, the piloting robots are set to be servers through static IP address configuration, the following robots are set to be clients, and mutual communication among the orchard multi-robots is achieved through a TCP/IP protocol.
As shown in fig. 2, the IP address configuration of the orchard robot in the Ubuntu 16.04 system mainly includes the following steps:
step1, editing Network connection, clicking Edit Connections, and entering Network Connections;
step2, Add new network connection;
step3, in the new network type configuration, Hardware selects Wi-Fi to create;
step4, editing the name of the new Wi-Fi connection, a Wi-Fi SSID and a mode, setting the network name and the SSID as the same for a plurality of robots in the orchard, setting the mode of the piloting robot as a Server, and setting the following robot as the Server;
step5, editing IPv4 Settings connected with a new Wi-Fi, wherein a Method selects Manual, three positions before the orchard robot Address are set to be the same (if 192.168.62.x, x cannot be set to be 1), Netmask is uniformly set to be 24, and Gateway is 192.168.62.1, so that the static IP Address configuration of the orchard multi-robot communication system is completed.
As shown in fig. 3, the communication flow between the piloting robot and the following robot of the orchard multi-robot communication system mainly includes the following steps:
step1, creating Create SocketServer (), by the piloting robot;
the navigation robot sets an address type AF _ INET to be IPv4 network communication, selects a STREAM socket (SOCK _ STREAM) of an AF _ INET Protocol family according to the type of a socket, and establishes a SocketServer () by taking a supported Protocol as IPPROTO _ TCP, so that the communication requirement between at least two orchard following robots is met.
Step2, piloting robot bind socket;
the piloting robot binds the local address Localaddr (192.168.62.2) and port number (25550) to the socket and creates a file descriptor socket _ fd.
Step3、listen();
The piloting robot calls a listen _ socket _ fd to monitor a connection request sent by the following robot, the socket is changed into a passive type, and the connection request of the following robot is waited. At this time, the piloted robot socket is still in a close state.
Step4, following the robot to create a SocketClient ();
step5, the following robot calls connect () to send a connection request to the pilot robot according to the IP address (192.168.62.2) and the port number (25550) of the pilot robot;
step6, after the pilot robot receives the connection request of the following robot, the pilot robot is passively opened, and a new socket corresponding to the connection is returned to save the new connection. At this time, socket enters blocking mode;
step7, the following robot is successfully connected, and connection state information is sent to the navigation robot;
step8, returning an accept () of the piloting robot, and successfully connecting;
step9, starting a keepalive attribute by the following robot;
if the connection has no data to come and go within 60 seconds, detecting, and setting the time interval of the sending packet during detection to be 5 seconds; if the 1 st probe packet receives a response, the latter 2 probe packets are not sent again.
If it is connecting, listen for the changed state of file descriptor fd (read-write or exception) through selet. The selet listen timeout is set to 5s and if 5s still has no connection established, the next connection is disconnected. After the connection is successfully established, the socket is restored to a blocking mode, so that the receiving and sending are facilitated. And setting receiving overtime, starting a data receiving thread, and closing the socket if overtime or connection is wrong.
Step10, the following robot sends information such as self position, driving speed and power module electric quantity acquired by the sensor module to the piloting robot, and the piloting robot receives the information;
before data is sent, the length len of data to be sent is compared with the length of a sending buffer area of a socket s. If len is greater than the length of s' send buffer, the function returns SOCKET _ ERROR; if len is less than or equal to the length of s's send buffer, send checks first whether the data in s ' send buffer is being sent, if yes, waits for the protocol to send the data, if the protocol has not started sending the data in s ' send buffer or there is no data in s ' send buffer, send compares the remaining space of s ' send buffer with len; if len is larger than the size of the residual space, send always waits for the protocol to finish sending the data in the sending buffer of s; if len is smaller than the size of the remaining space, send simply copies the data in the buffer buf of data into the remaining space. If the send function copy data is successful, returning the byte number of the actual copy; if send is in ERROR with copy data, send returns SOCKET _ ERROR; the send function also returns SOCKET _ ERROR if the send is disconnected from the network while waiting for the protocol to transmit data.
The pilot robot sets the receive timeout time to 0.2 seconds, and traverses all possible file descriptors to check which activity occurred on top. If the file descriptor set fds [ i ] bit has been identified, i.e., there is data, then set the socket to non-blocking mode; if the received data of the piloted robot is zero, i.e. receive returns 0, indicating that the following robot has been closed, the file descriptor fds [ i ] is closed, and the received data is parsed.
Step11, the piloting robot sends information such as self position, driving speed, power module electric quantity and the like acquired by the sensor module to the following robot, and the following robot receives the information;
1) waiting for the completion of the transmission of the data in the transmission buffer of s by the protocol, and if the protocol generates a network ERROR when transmitting the data in the transmission buffer of s, returning a receive function to SOCKET _ ERROR;
2) if the sending buffer of s has no data or the data is successfully sent by the protocol, the receive first checks the receiving buffer of the socket s, and if the receiving buffer of s has no data or the protocol is receiving data, the receive waits until the protocol finishes receiving the data. When the protocol finishes receiving the data, the receive function copies the data in the receiving buffer of s to buf, and the receive function returns the byte number of the actual copy. If recive is in ERROR at copy, it returns SOCKET _ ERROR; if the receive function is interrupted by the network while waiting for the protocol to receive data, 0 is returned.
The following robot sets the receiving overtime time to be 0.2 second, and if the receiving data is zero, the following robot is closed.
And Step12, closing the following robot and recovering thread resources.
And Step13, closing the piloting robot and recovering thread resources.
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and any modifications, substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
