Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the terms "first," "second," etc. do not denote any order or quantity, nor do the terms "first," "second," etc. denote any order or importance.

Before explaining the embodiments of the present application in detail, an application scenario of the embodiments of the present application will be described.

A large number of assets such as servers, switches and IT equipment are placed in the machine room, and in order to avoid loss and dislocation of the assets and waste of storage space in the machine room, the assets in the machine room need to be effectively monitored.

Originally, the assets in a machine room were monitored by manual checking, but this method not only needs to consume a lot of manpower and time, but also has low checking efficiency and poor real-time performance. Later, on-line monitoring of assets was accomplished using RFID technology. In this way, each asset is assigned with a specific RFID tag to store information of the asset, the RFID tag is attached to a corresponding asset surface, and the information of the asset is acquired through the RFID tag attached to a certain asset surface, so that monitoring of the asset in the machine room is realized. However, the number of assets placed in the machine room is as large as ten thousands, and if one RFID tag is assigned to each asset, the cost is high.

Therefore, the embodiment of the application provides an asset monitoring method, which can effectively monitor assets in a machine room under the condition of saving cost.

According to the asset monitoring method provided by the embodiment of the Application, the assets in the machine room are monitored through the robot, so that the robot needs to be arranged in the machine room, the robot can be configured with a high-definition camera, a touch screen, a communication interface, an infrared sensing system and the like, and an APP (Application) can be built in the robot. The robot can utilize high definition digtal camera to scan the graphic code that the rack surface was pasted and put, also can utilize high definition digtal camera to shoot the asset in the rack. The touch screen can be used for displaying the monitoring result of the robot, and the manager can interact with the robot through the touch screen of the robot. The communication interface is used for communication between the robot and the asset server, for example, the communication interface may be a WIFI (Wireless Fidelity) network interface. The built-in APP can realize interaction between a manager and the robot and interaction between the robot and the asset server. The robot can sense surrounding objects through the infrared sensing system, and intelligent positioning and intelligent navigation are achieved. Of course, the robot may also provide an external access interface, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

The robot has an IP (Internet Protocol) address through which it can connect to the asset server. After the robot is successfully connected with the asset server, the information stored by the asset server, including the cabinet information in the machine room and the asset information of each asset placed in the cabinet, can be acquired, and the asset monitoring result can also be sent to the asset server. In addition, management personnel can search, lower and raise assets in the machine room through the robot.

The asset monitoring method provided by the embodiments of the present application is explained in detail below.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of an asset monitoring method according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 1, the method includes the following steps.

Step 101: the robot obtains the cabinet identification contained in the graphic code attached to the surface of the cabinet in the machine room.

A plurality of cabinets are placed in a machine room, each cabinet is divided according to a U (unit) standard, that is, each position where an asset is placed in a cabinet can be referred to as a U bit. U is a unit of the external size of the device, and its prescribed size is: the width is 48.26cm and the height is 4.445 cm. For example, 1U represents a size of: width 48.26cm, height 1 × 4.445cm, 2U representing the dimensions: width 48.26cm, height 2 × 4.445cm, 3U representing the dimensions: the width is 48.26cm and the height is 3 multiplied by 4.445 cm.

Optionally, a Light Emitting Diode (LED) digital Light strip may be installed inside each cabinet, and a control module for controlling the LED digital Light strip is also installed in each cabinet, where the LED digital Light strip includes a plurality of indicator lights. Specifically, each U bit inside one cabinet corresponds to one indicator light. The asset server and the robot can control the indicator lights to be turned on or off through the control module.

The graphic code contains information, the information contained in the graphic code can be obtained by scanning and analyzing the graphic code, and the graphic code can be attached to the surface of an object. For example, the graphic code may be a bar code, a two-dimensional code, or the like. A cabinet is provided with a corresponding graphic code which is attached to the surface of the cabinet and contains relevant information of the cabinet. An asset also has a corresponding graphic code attached to its surface and containing information about the asset. The manufacturing cost of the graphic code is far lower than that of the RFID label.

The information related to the cabinet to be placed in the machine room and the information related to each asset to be placed in the cabinet are previously entered in the asset server. The related information of one cabinet may include the cabinet identification of the cabinet, the cabinet location information, and the like. The related information of an asset may be asset information of the asset. The enclosure identifier of one enclosure is used to identify the enclosure, for example, the enclosure identifier of the enclosure may be an enclosure number (each enclosure has a unique enclosure number), and the like. The cabinet location information for a cabinet is the location information of the location where the cabinet should be placed in the room. Asset information for an asset may include asset identification, asset type, asset height, asset location information, enclosure identification, and the like. The asset identification of an asset is used to identify the asset, e.g., the asset identification of the asset may be an asset number (each asset has a unique asset number), etc. An asset type of an asset is the type to which the asset belongs, e.g. the asset type of the asset may be a server or the like. The asset height of an asset is the height of the asset. The asset location information of an asset is the location information of the location where the asset should be placed in the cabinet, i.e. the U-bit information of the U-bit where the asset should be placed in the cabinet. An asset's enclosure identification is the enclosure identification of the enclosure in which the asset should be placed, i.e., an asset's enclosure identification is used to identify the enclosure in which the asset should be placed.

Optionally, for any one of the cabinets, the asset server may generate a graphic code including the related information of the cabinet according to the stored related information of the cabinet, as the graphic code corresponding to the cabinet. Then, the manager can print out the corresponding graphic code of the cabinet and paste the graphic code on the surface of the cabinet.

Optionally, for any asset, the asset server may generate a graphic code containing the related information of the asset according to the stored related information of the asset, as the graphic code corresponding to the asset. Then, the manager can print out the corresponding graphic code of the asset and paste the graphic code on the surface of the asset.

By scanning and analyzing the graphic code attached to the surface of one cabinet, the related information of the cabinet can be obtained, such as the cabinet identifier and the cabinet position information of the cabinet. Similarly, by scanning and parsing a graphic code attached to the surface of an asset, information related to the asset, such as identification and location information of the asset, can be obtained.

Alternatively, the robot may directly scan and analyze a graphic code attached to the surface of the cabinet in the machine room, and obtain information included in the graphic code, where the information may include a cabinet identifier and cabinet position information. Or, the robot may also shoot the graphic code attached to the surface of the cabinet in the machine room to obtain a shot image, and then analyze the graphic code in the shot image to obtain information contained in the graphic code, where the information may include a cabinet identifier and cabinet position information.

Further, after acquiring cabinet position information contained in a graphic code attached to the surface of a cabinet in a machine room, the robot may further use the cabinet position information as first position information; detecting the position of the cabinet to obtain second position information; and comparing the second position information with the first position information to obtain a cabinet monitoring result.

The graphic code attached to the surface of one cabinet contains cabinet position information (i.e., first position information) at which the cabinet should be placed in the room, and the position information (i.e., second position information) at which the robot detects that the cabinet is placed in the room is the actual position of the cabinet in the room. The robot compares the first position information with the second position information, that is, the position where the cabinet should be placed in the room with the position where the cabinet is actually placed in the room. If the first location information is the same as the second location information, it indicates that the location where the cabinet should be placed in the machine room is the same as the actual location where the cabinet is placed in the machine room, and therefore the location where the cabinet is placed in the machine room is correct, it may be determined that the cabinet location is correct. If the first position information is different from the second position information, it is indicated that the position where the cabinet is supposed to be placed in the machine room is different from the position where the cabinet is actually placed in the machine room, so that the position where the cabinet is placed in the machine room is wrong, and the cabinet monitoring result can be determined to be that the cabinet position is wrong. So, can learn whether the position that this rack was placed in the computer lab is correct according to rack monitoring result to this monitoring of realizing rack position in the computer lab prevents the rack dislocation.

The operation of detecting the position of the cabinet by the robot is similar to the operation of detecting the position of an object by a robot in the related art, which is not described in detail in the embodiments of the present application.

For example, the robot can detect the position of the cabinet through an own infrared sensing system. Of course, the robot may also detect the location of the cabinet in other ways, which is not limited in this application.

Step 102: and the robot acquires the asset information corresponding to the cabinet identifier as first asset information.

The asset information (i.e., the first asset information) corresponding to the cabinet identifier is the asset information of each asset to be placed in the cabinet whose surface is attached with the graphic code including the cabinet identifier. The first asset information may include one or more of an identification of the enclosure, a number of assets within the enclosure, an identification of each asset within the enclosure, a type of each asset within the enclosure, a height of each asset within the enclosure, location information of each asset within the enclosure, and the like.

The position information of each asset is position information of a position where each asset should be placed in the cabinet, that is, U-bit information of a U bit where each asset should be placed in the cabinet.

Optionally, the robot may obtain asset information corresponding to the cabinet identifier from the asset server. Specifically, after acquiring the cabinet identifier of one cabinet, the robot may send an asset information acquisition request carrying the cabinet identifier to the asset server. After receiving the asset information acquisition request sent by the robot, the asset server acquires the corresponding asset information from the stored corresponding relationship between the cabinet identifier and the asset information according to the cabinet identifier carried by the asset information acquisition request, and then sends the asset information corresponding to the cabinet identifier to the robot. Therefore, the robot can acquire the asset information corresponding to the cabinet identifier, that is, the asset information of each asset to be placed in the cabinet, that is, the first asset information.

Or, the robot may also pre-store the correspondence between the rack identifier and the asset information, and after acquiring the rack identifier of one rack, acquire the corresponding asset information from the stored correspondence between the rack identifier and the asset information according to the rack identifier. Therefore, the robot can acquire the asset information corresponding to the cabinet identifier, that is, the asset information corresponding to each asset to be placed in the cabinet, that is, the first asset information.

The correspondence between the enclosure identification and the asset information may be preset. Asset information corresponding to each cabinet identifier in the correspondence between the cabinet identifiers and the asset information is asset information of assets to be placed in the cabinet identified by each cabinet identifier. Therefore, according to the cabinet identifier of one cabinet, the asset information of the assets to be placed in the cabinet can be acquired from the corresponding relation between the cabinet identifier and the asset information.

Step 103: and the robot shoots the graphic code attached to the surface of the asset in the cabinet to obtain a monitoring image.

A plurality of assets can be placed in one cabinet, one asset is provided with a corresponding graphic code and is attached to the surface of the asset, and a plurality of graphic codes are arranged in one cabinet.

After the robot acquires the first asset information, the door of the cabinet is opened, and the graphic code attached to the surface of the asset in the cabinet is shot. The robot shoots the graphic codes attached to the surfaces of the assets in the cabinet, actually shoots the internal space of the cabinet after the door of the cabinet is opened, and the obtained monitoring image contains the graphic codes attached to the surfaces of the assets in the cabinet.

Optionally, the robot may use a high-definition camera carried by the robot to shoot a graphic code attached to the surface of the asset inside the cabinet to obtain a monitoring image. Of course, the robot may also obtain the monitored image in other ways, which is not limited in this application.

Step 104: and the robot acquires the position information of each graphic code in the monitored image and the information contained in each graphic code as second asset information.

The position information of each graphic code in the monitoring image is the position information of the position where each asset is actually placed in the cabinet, that is, for a certain graphic code in the monitoring image, the position information of the graphic code in the monitoring image is the position information of the position where the asset with the graphic code pasted on the surface is actually placed in the cabinet. Therefore, the position information of the position of each asset actually placed in the cabinet can be obtained from the monitoring image, namely the U bit information of the U bit of each asset actually placed in the cabinet can be obtained from the monitoring image.

The information contained in each graphic code in the monitoring image comprises one or more items of asset identification, asset type, asset height, asset position information, cabinet identification and the like. The information contained in each graphic code in the monitoring image is asset information of each asset currently placed in the cabinet.

For a certain graphic code in the monitoring image, the information contained in the graphic code comprises asset identification, asset type, asset height, asset position information, cabinet identification and the like of the asset with the graphic code attached to the surface. The asset identifier is used for identifying the asset with the graphic code pasted on the surface, for example, the asset identifier of the asset with the graphic code pasted on the surface can be the asset number of the asset; the asset type is the type to which the asset with the graphic code attached to the surface belongs. The height of the asset is the height of the asset with the graphic code attached to the surface. The asset position information is the position information of the position of the asset with the graphic code pasted on the surface, which should be placed in the cabinet, namely the U position information of the U position of the asset with the graphic code pasted on the surface, which should be placed in the cabinet; the cabinet identifier is cabinet information of the cabinet where the asset with the graphic code attached on the surface should be placed.

The robot acquires the position information of each graphic code in the monitoring image and the information contained in each graphic code, namely acquires the position information of the actual placement position of each asset with the graphic code attached to the surface currently placed in the cabinet and the asset information of each asset, and takes the acquired position information of the actual placement position of each asset with the graphic code attached to the surface currently placed in the cabinet and the acquired asset information of each asset as second asset information.

Specifically, after the robot acquires the monitoring image, the position information of each graphic code is analyzed from the monitoring image, and the position information of the actual placement position of each asset with the graphic code attached to the surface currently placed in the cabinet is also acquired. And then, the robot scans and analyzes each graphic code in the monitoring image to obtain information contained in each graphic code in the monitoring image, and then the asset information of each asset with the graphic code attached to the surface, which is currently placed in the cabinet, is obtained. Therefore, the robot can acquire the position information of the actual placement position of each asset with the graphic code attached to the surface currently placed in the cabinet and the asset information of each asset, namely the second asset information.

Step 105: and the robot compares the second asset information with the first asset information to obtain an asset monitoring result.

The asset monitoring results include a first monitoring result, a second monitoring result, and a third monitoring result. The first monitoring result is used for prompting that the assets which do not belong to the cabinet exist in the cabinet. The second monitoring result is used for prompting that the assets in the cabinet are placed wrongly. The third monitoring result is used for prompting that the assets in the cabinet are lost.

And the robot compares the second asset information with the first asset information, namely compares the asset information corresponding to the cabinet identifier acquired according to the cabinet identifier with the position information of each graphic code acquired from the monitoring image and the information contained in each graphic code, namely compares the asset information of each asset to be placed in the cabinet with the asset information of each asset currently placed in the cabinet to obtain an asset monitoring result in the cabinet.

Specifically, step 105 may be implemented in several possible ways:

in a first possible manner, if the cabinet identifier in the first asset information is different from the cabinet identifier included in the target graphic code or the asset identifier included in the target graphic code does not exist in all the asset identifiers in the first asset information, a first monitoring result is generated. The target graphic code is any one of the monitoring images.

In one case, if the rack identifier in the first asset information is different from the rack identifier contained in the target graphic code, it indicates that the rack identifier of one rack does not match the rack identifier contained in the target graphic code attached to the surface of a certain asset placed in the rack, that is, the rack identifier of the rack is different from the rack identifier of the rack to which the asset should belong, so that the asset does not belong to the rack.

In another case, if the asset identifier included in the target graphic code does not exist in all the asset identifiers in the first asset information, it indicates that the asset identifier of the asset whose surface is attached with the target graphic code does not exist in the asset identifiers of the assets to be placed in one cabinet, that is, it indicates that the asset whose surface is attached with the target graphic code does not exist in the assets to be placed in the cabinet, so that the asset does not belong to the cabinet.

When the robot monitors any one of the two conditions, a first monitoring result is generated and used for indicating that the asset with the target graphic code attached to the surface currently placed in the cabinet does not belong to the cabinet. And, the first monitoring result may also carry the cabinet identifier of the cabinet where the asset should be placed and the asset location information of the asset (i.e. the location information of the location where the asset should be placed in the cabinet) acquired from the target pattern code. For example: the first monitoring result may include asset location information of an asset (i.e., an asset not belonging to the cabinet) whose surface is attached with the target graphic code currently placed in the cabinet, and cabinet identification, asset location information, and the like included in the target graphic code. The manager can know the cabinet identification of the cabinet where the asset not belonging to the cabinet should be placed and the asset position information of the asset from the first monitoring result, can place the asset not belonging to the cabinet in the cabinet where the asset should be placed according to the cabinet identification of the cabinet where the asset should be placed, and then place the asset in the position where the asset should be placed in the cabinet according to the asset position information of the asset. The first monitoring result assists the manager in making a location adjustment for this asset that does not belong to the cabinet.

In a second possible manner, if the cabinet identifier in the first asset information is the same as the cabinet identifier included in the target graphic code or the asset identifier included in the target graphic code exists in all the asset identifiers in the first asset information, and if the location information of the target graphic code is different from the asset location information included in the target graphic code, a second monitoring result is generated.

In one case, if the rack identifier in the first asset information is the same as the rack identifier contained in the target graphic code, it indicates that the rack identifier of one rack is the same as the rack identifier contained in the target graphic code attached to the surface of a certain asset placed in the rack, that is, it indicates that the asset belongs to the rack. However, the position information of the target graphic code is different from the asset position information contained in the target graphic code, which means that the position information indicating the actual placement of the asset with the target graphic code attached to the surface is different from the asset position information contained in the target graphic code attached to the surface of the asset, that is, the position indicating the actual placement of the asset is different from the position where the asset should be stored, so that the asset in the cabinet is placed incorrectly.

In another case, if the asset identifier included in the target graphic code exists in all asset identifiers in the first asset information, it is described that an asset identifier of an asset whose surface is attached with the target graphic code exists in the asset identifiers of assets to be placed in one cabinet, that is, it is described that the asset whose surface is attached with the target graphic code exists in the assets to be placed in the cabinet, that is, the asset belongs to the cabinet. However, the position information of the target graphic code is different from the asset position information contained in the target graphic code, which means that the position information indicating the actual placement of the asset with the target graphic code attached to the surface is different from the asset position information contained in the target graphic code attached to the surface of the asset, that is, the position indicating the actual placement of the asset is different from the position where the asset should be stored, so that the asset in the cabinet is placed incorrectly.

When the robot monitors any one of the two conditions, a second monitoring result is generated and used for indicating that the assets with the target graphic codes attached to the surfaces, which are currently placed in the cabinet, are placed wrongly. And, the second monitoring result may also carry asset location information of the asset (i.e., location information of the location where the asset should be placed within the cabinet) obtained from the target pattern code. For example: the second monitoring result may include asset location information of an asset with a target graphic code attached to a surface thereof currently placed in the cabinet, and the like. The second monitoring result is helpful for the manager to know the position information of the asset with the target graphic code attached to the surface, which should be placed in the cabinet, so that the manager can conveniently adjust the position of the asset with the wrong placement.

In a third possible manner, if the number of assets in the first asset information is greater than the number of all the graphic codes in the monitoring image, or if the asset identifiers in all the asset identifiers in the first asset information do not include the asset identifiers in all the graphic codes in the monitoring image, a third monitoring result is generated.

In one case, if the number of assets in the first asset information is greater than the number of all the graphic codes in the monitoring image, it is indicated that the number of assets to be placed in one cabinet is greater than the number of assets currently placed in the cabinet, that is, it is indicated that the number of assets currently placed in the cabinet is insufficient, so that the assets in the cabinet are lost.

In another case, if asset identifiers not included in all the graphic codes in the monitoring image exist in all the asset identifiers in the first asset information, it is indicated that asset identifiers not included in all the graphic codes attached to the surface of the asset currently placed in the cabinet exist in the asset identifiers of the assets to be placed in one cabinet, that is, the assets to be placed in the cabinet are not placed in the cabinet, so that the assets in the cabinet are lost.

When the robot monitors any one of the two conditions, a third monitoring result is generated and used for indicating that assets in the cabinet are lost. And, the third monitoring result may also carry the asset identification and the location information (i.e. the location information of the location where this asset should be placed in this equipment cabinet) of the lost asset (i.e. the asset identified by the asset identification that is not included in all the graphic codes in the monitoring image and is present in all the asset identifications in the first asset information) obtained from the first asset information. From the third monitoring result, the manager can know the asset identification of the asset lost in the cabinet and the position information of the position where the asset lost in the cabinet should be placed. The third monitoring result is helpful for the manager to know the asset information of the lost asset in the cabinet, so that the manager can conveniently search the lost asset according to the asset identification of the asset, and after the lost asset is found, the lost asset is restacked according to the cabinet identification and the position information of the asset.

After the robot obtains the asset monitoring result, the asset monitoring result can be directly displayed on a touch screen carried by the robot, and the asset monitoring result can also be sent to an asset server. The asset server can send the asset monitoring result to a terminal used by a manager for displaying. And the management personnel can process the abnormal cabinet and the abnormal assets according to the asset monitoring result. For example, the manager can place the asset with the wrong placement on the correct position according to the asset monitoring result; the manager can search for the lost asset according to the asset monitoring result, and after finding the lost asset, the manager puts the asset on the shelf again, that is, places the asset at the position where the asset should be placed in the cabinet where the asset should be placed, and if the lost asset cannot be found, performs loss processing on the asset, such as: the lost assets may be recorded.

In some embodiments, the operation of the robot for monitoring the assets in a certain cabinet may be implemented in the process of inspecting the machine room by the robot. In this case, the asset monitoring method provided by the embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps (1) to (3).

(1) The robot acquires a routing inspection route.

The routing inspection route is used for indicating the robot to move in the routing inspection area. For example, the routing inspection route may be a route covering all areas of the machine room, that is, the routing inspection area is all areas in the machine room; the routing inspection route can also be a route only covering the sub-area inside the machine room, namely the routing inspection area is a partial area in the machine room.

The robot can prestore a map of the whole machine room, so that after the robot determines the inspection area, the robot can generate an inspection route for monitoring assets in all cabinets in the inspection area.

Optionally, the asset server may send a patrol inspection instruction to the robot, where the patrol inspection instruction carries patrol inspection area information, and is used to instruct the robot to patrol the patrol inspection area indicated by the patrol inspection area information. After receiving the inspection instruction sent by the asset server, the robot determines an inspection area according to the inspection area information carried by the inspection instruction, and generates an inspection route according to the inspection area.

Or, the manager plans the inspection area in advance, and then directly inputs the inspection area information to the robot. After receiving the inspection area information input by the manager, the robot determines an inspection area according to the inspection area information and generates an inspection route according to the inspection area.

Optionally, after the robot generates the routing inspection route, the routing inspection route may be displayed on a touch screen carried by the robot. The robot moves in the machine room according to the routing inspection route after receiving the confirmation instruction aiming at the routing inspection route.

The confirmation instruction is used for indicating the robot to move in the machine room according to the routing inspection route. The confirmation instruction can be triggered by a manager, and the manager can trigger the confirmation instruction through operations such as click operation, sliding operation, voice operation, gesture operation and motion sensing operation, which is not limited in the embodiment of the application.

The robot shows the route of patrolling and examining on the touch-sensitive screen, is favorable to the managers to look over or modify the route of patrolling and examining, also is favorable to the robot to guide the managers to walk in the region of patrolling and examining.

Optionally, the robot may obtain not only the routing inspection route but also the routing inspection rule. The inspection rules may include inspection period, time of stay before each cabinet, etc. The polling cycle is used to indicate the polling interval of the robot, i.e. how long it is to poll next time after completing polling once. The residence time before each cabinet is to ensure that the robot has enough time to complete the monitoring of the assets in that cabinet. For example, the polling rule may be to poll every ten minutes, and the robot stays in front of each cabinet for 3 seconds.

(2) The robot moves in the machine room according to the routing inspection route.

Optionally, the robot may move in the machine room according to the routing inspection route, and may also move in the machine room according to the routing inspection route and the routing inspection rule. For example: the robot can stay for 3 seconds in front of a cabinet according to the routing inspection rule before moving to the cabinet according to the routing inspection route. Or after the robot finishes one-time routing inspection according to the routing inspection route, next routing inspection is carried out again according to the routing inspection route after ten minutes according to routing inspection rules.

In one case, if the routing inspection route acquired by the robot is a route covering all areas of the machine room, the robot moves in all areas of the machine room, and then assets in all cabinets in the machine room can be monitored.

In another case, if the routing inspection route acquired by the robot is a route that only covers a part of the area in the machine room, the area in which the robot moves in the machine room is only a part of the area, that is, the robot can only monitor the assets in the cabinet in the part of the area.

(3) The robot performs the above steps 101-105 every time a cabinet position is reached while moving within the room.

During the movement of the robot in the machine room, the operations of the above steps 101 to 105 are performed every time a cabinet position is reached, so as to monitor the cabinet in the cabinet position and the assets in the cabinet. In this manner, the robot monitors each cabinet and the assets within each cabinet that are on the routing inspection route.

After the robot finishes the inspection, the robot can return to the entrance of the machine room to wait for next inspection or execute a new instruction.

Further, management personnel can be guided to search, put on and put off the shelf through the robot. In this case, the asset monitoring method provided by the embodiment of the present application may further include the following steps (1) to (4).

(1) The robot receives the navigation information.

When assets in a machine room are managed, it is often necessary to find some asset in the machine room, or to put on shelf some asset, or to put off shelf some asset in some cabinet in the machine room. When a manager is guided to search, put on and put off a certain asset through the robot, navigation information of the asset needs to be sent to the robot.

The navigation information includes cabinet location information and asset location information. Alternatively, the navigation information may be navigation information sent by the asset server to the robot. Alternatively, the navigation information may be navigation information that the manager directly inputs to the robot.

Optionally, after receiving the navigation information, the robot may display the navigation information on a touch screen carried by the robot, so that a manager can check and confirm the navigation information conveniently.

(2) And the robot generates a navigation route according to the cabinet position information.

The navigation route is a travel route from the current position of the robot to the cabinet position indicated by the cabinet position information.

Optionally, if the robot receives navigation information sent by the asset server, the navigation information is displayed on a touch screen carried by the robot, and after a confirmation instruction for the navigation information is received, a navigation route is generated according to cabinet position information included in the navigation information.

Or, if the navigation information is the navigation information directly input to the robot by the manager, the robot displays the navigation information on a touch screen carried by the robot, and generates a navigation route according to the cabinet position information included in the navigation information after receiving a confirmation instruction for the navigation information.

The confirmation instruction for the navigation information is used for indicating navigation to the cabinet position indicated by the navigation information, the confirmation instruction can be triggered by an administrator, and the administrator can trigger the navigation information through operations such as click operation, sliding operation, voice operation, gesture operation, somatosensory operation and the like, which is not limited in the embodiment of the application.

(3) And the robot moves to a position corresponding to the cabinet position information in the machine room according to the navigation route.

After receiving the confirmation instruction aiming at the navigation information, the robot generates a navigation route according to the cabinet position information contained in the navigation information and moves to the position corresponding to the cabinet position information according to the navigation route. And when the robot moves to the position corresponding to the cabinet position information in the machine room according to the navigation route, the robot can display the navigation route on the touch screen, so that management personnel can be guided to walk to the position corresponding to the cabinet position information, and the management personnel can find, put on shelves and put on shelves assets in the cabinet conveniently.

(4) And the robot broadcasts the asset position information through voice or an indicator lamp in the position corresponding to the asset position information in the control cabinet is lightened.

The robot can obtain asset position information from the navigation information, when the robot reaches the position corresponding to the cabinet position information, the asset position information can be broadcasted through voice, and an indicator lamp which is arranged in the cabinet and at the position corresponding to the asset position information can be controlled to be lightened.

Specifically, when the robot reaches the cabinet position of the cabinet where a certain asset to be searched is located, the asset position information of the asset in the cabinet is broadcasted in a voice mode, or an indicator lamp in the cabinet at a position corresponding to the asset position information of the asset is controlled to be turned on, so that a manager can know the position of the asset in the cabinet. If the robot reaches the position of the cabinet where a certain asset needing to be put on shelf is to be placed, the asset position information of the asset in the cabinet is broadcasted in a voice mode, or an indicator lamp which is arranged in the cabinet and is located at the position corresponding to the asset position information of the asset is controlled to be lightened, so that a manager can know the position where the asset is to be put on shelf in the cabinet, and the asset can be put on shelf by the manager. If the robot reaches the position of the cabinet where the asset needs to be off-shelved, the asset position information of the asset in the cabinet is broadcasted in a voice mode, or an indicator lamp in the cabinet and located at the position corresponding to the asset position information of the asset is controlled to be turned on, so that a manager can know the position of the asset in the cabinet, and the asset can be off-shelved by the manager.

The specific operations of searching, putting on and putting off the shelf for assets by guiding management personnel through the robot can be as follows:

if a certain asset in the machine room needs to be searched, the asset server may send navigation information corresponding to the asset to the robot, or a manager clicks the navigation information corresponding to the asset on a touch screen carried by the robot itself, where the navigation information corresponding to the asset may include cabinet position information of a cabinet to which the asset belongs and position information of a position where the asset should be placed in the cabinet (i.e., asset position information). After receiving the navigation information, the robot displays the navigation information on a touch screen carried by the robot. The manager clicks on a touch screen carried by the robot for confirmation. After receiving the confirmation instruction for the navigation information, the robot generates a navigation route according to the cabinet position information contained in the navigation information. Then, the robot moves in the machine room according to the navigation route, when the robot moves to the position of the cabinet corresponding to the asset, the indicator lamp which broadcasts the asset position information in a voice mode or controls the position, corresponding to the asset position information, of the inside of the cabinet is lightened, a manager can know the position of the asset in the cabinet conveniently, namely the manager can know the U position of the asset in the cabinet conveniently, and therefore the manager can search the asset.

If a certain asset needs to be put on shelf and the asset is a new asset, a placement position is allocated to the asset through an asset server, and then a graphic code containing asset information such as asset identification, asset type, asset height, asset position information and cabinet identification of the asset is generated to serve as a graphic code corresponding to the asset. The manager prints out the graphic code and attaches the graphic code to the surface of the asset. A manager holds the asset and scans the robot, the robot can acquire asset position information and cabinet identification of the asset by scanning and analyzing the graphic code attached to the surface of the asset, then acquires cabinet position information corresponding to the cabinet identification, and takes the acquired asset position information and the acquired cabinet position information as navigation information; or the robot can also directly receive the navigation information of the asset, which is sent by the asset server, wherein the navigation information comprises asset position information of the asset and cabinet position information of a cabinet to which the asset belongs. Then, the robot displays the navigation information on a touch screen carried by the robot. The manager clicks on a touch screen carried by the robot for confirmation. After receiving a confirmation instruction aiming at navigation information, the robot generates a navigation route according to the cabinet position information of the assets, moves in the machine room according to the navigation route, and when the robot moves to the cabinet position corresponding to the assets, the robot broadcasts the asset position information in a voice mode or controls an indicator lamp in the cabinet at the position corresponding to the asset position information to be lightened, so that a manager can know the position where the assets should be placed in the cabinet, namely the manager can know the U position where the assets should be placed in the cabinet, and the assets are put on the shelf.

If a certain asset in the machine room needs to be lifted off, the asset information of the asset needing to be lifted off can be searched in the asset server, the asset server can acquire the asset position information of the asset and the cabinet position information of the cabinet to which the asset belongs according to the asset information of the asset, and the asset position information and the cabinet position information are used as the navigation information of the asset and are sent to the robot; or the manager inputs the navigation information of the asset on a touch screen carried by the robot. Then, the robot displays the navigation information on a touch screen carried by the robot. The manager clicks on a touch screen carried by the robot for confirmation. After receiving a confirmation instruction aiming at navigation information, the robot generates a navigation route according to cabinet position information in the navigation information, moves in a machine room according to the navigation route, and when the robot moves to a cabinet position corresponding to the asset, the robot broadcasts asset position information in a voice mode or controls an indicator lamp in the cabinet at a position corresponding to the asset position information to be lightened, so that a manager can know the position of the asset in the cabinet conveniently, namely the manager can know the U position of the asset in the cabinet, and the asset is placed on shelf.

In the embodiment of the application, the robot acquires the cabinet identifier through a graphic code attached to the surface of the cabinet in the machine room, and takes the asset information acquired by using the cabinet identifier as the first asset information. And then, the robot shoots the graphic codes attached to the surfaces of the assets in the cabinet to obtain monitoring images, and the position information of each graphic code and the information contained in each graphic code, which are obtained from the monitoring images, are used as second asset information. And then, the robot compares the second asset information with the first asset information to obtain an asset monitoring result, so that the monitoring of the assets in the machine room is realized. Therefore, the assets in the machine room can be effectively monitored through the robot and the graphic codes, the cost is saved, and the assets can be effectively prevented from being lost and misplaced.
