Detailed Description
In the following description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth, such as particular system structures, techniques, etc. in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.
In order to explain the technical means of the present invention, the following description will be given by way of specific examples.
Referring to fig. 1, an implementation flow of the repositioning method for the sweeping robot after being held up in the present invention in an embodiment is shown, and as shown in fig. 1, the repositioning method at least includes steps S01-S03:
step S01, when the sweeping robot is detected to be held up, a map which is established in advance by the sweeping robot is obtained;
s02, identifying the state of the sweeping robot before being held up by using the map, and determining a pre-configured repositioning algorithm according to the state, wherein the repositioning algorithm comprises a quick positioning algorithm or a slow positioning algorithm;
and S03, determining the target positioning position of the sweeping robot returning to the ground after being held up according to the quick positioning algorithm or the slow positioning algorithm.
By the method, the pre-configured repositioning algorithm can be selected according to the state of the sweeping robot before being held up, so that quick and accurate positioning is realized without restarting the SLAM, and the efficiency of repositioning the sweeping robot back to the ground after being held up is improved.
Specifically, in step S01, the map that is created in advance is a map that is created by the SLAM before the sweeping robot is held up.
Specifically, in the step S02, the fast positioning algorithm and the slow positioning algorithm are two preset methods for performing repositioning, and as the name suggests, the fast positioning algorithm is better than the slow positioning algorithm in speed of achieving positioning, but at the same time, the slow positioning algorithm is better than the fast positioning algorithm in positioning accuracy. For the situation, the two algorithms are configured in the sweeping robot in advance, and then the selection of the sweeping robot is determined to be more appropriate according to the state of the sweeping robot when the sweeping robot needs to be repositioned, so that the sweeping robot can be smoothly and efficiently repositioned.
Specifically, in one example, the step S02 includes the following steps S211 to S214:
s211, acquiring a moving track or a final position of the sweeping robot before being held up;
s212, identifying whether the sweeping robot moves along the wall or approaches the wall in the map according to the moving track or the final position;
s213, if yes, determining a slow positioning algorithm to reposition the sweeping robot;
s214, if not, determining that the sweeping robot is repositioned by the quick positioning algorithm.
In the above example, the condition for selecting the repositioning algorithm is determined by identifying whether the sweeping robot is in a state of being along the wall before being held up, i.e., whether the sweeping robot is walking along the wall or is stationary along the wall. If the robot is in the state of being along the wall before being held up, the slow positioning algorithm is selected, and if the robot is in the state of being along the wall, the environment of the sweeping robot can cause inaccurate positioning results of the fast positioning algorithm; instead, a fast positioning algorithm is selected.
Further, in the above example, whether the map is in a state along the wall can be identified in the established map by using the movement track and the last located position of the sweeping robot, but if the obtained map is missing, that is, the map is not completely established before being held up, or the map is missing due to other reasons, etc. In the face of these situations, it is also possible to decide which relocation algorithm to select at this time according to the map situation.
Specifically, in another example, the step S02 further includes the following steps S221 to S23:
s221, identifying whether the map is missing or not;
s222, if yes, determining a slow positioning algorithm to reposition the sweeping robot;
and S223, if not, determining a quick positioning algorithm to reposition the sweeping robot.
The identification of whether the map is missing or not can be realized by traversing the map, or whether the map is complete or not can be judged according to the size of the map and the like. It should be understood that the present application is not limited to the specific technical means of map missing identification.
Similarly, in the case of a map missing, the accuracy of positioning cannot be guaranteed by using the fast positioning algorithm, and therefore, in the above example, the slow positioning algorithm is selected in the case of a map missing, and conversely, the fast positioning algorithm is selected.
Specifically, the slow localization algorithm may include, but is not limited to, the monte carlo particle method. Because the existing Monte Carlo particle scattering method is based on all feasible reachable intervals, when the operable range is larger, the number of particles must be correspondingly increased to ensure the accuracy of the relocation result, but the increase of the number of particles can increase the calculation power. In order to overcome the problem that the positioning time is too long due to calculation force, the method is improved on the basis of the existing Monte Carlo particle scattering method.
Specifically, in the step S03, determining the target positioning position where the sweeping robot returns to the ground after being held up according to the slow positioning algorithm may specifically include the steps of: s311, acquiring surrounding image information when the sweeping robot is replaced on the ground; s312, identifying the surrounding image information, and determining a space tag of the current position of the sweeping robot; and S313, finding a space consistent with the space label on the map, and scattering particles on the space to determine the target position of the sweeping robot. In the pre-established map, the map is divided into different spatial areas, for example, the area where the map is located may be divided into spatial labels such as bedrooms, living rooms, toilets, restaurants, kitchens, and the like. On the basis, image recognition can be carried out according to image information around the sweeping robot, so that the space tag of the current area of the sweeping robot is determined. Therefore, the space range can be effectively reduced, and the scattered particle positioning is facilitated.
More specifically, the slow localization algorithm is the same as the existing monte carlo particle method except that the space for scattering particles is determined. For example, the step of scattering particles on the space to determine the target position of the sweeping robot may specifically include the steps of: s321, initializing particles; s322, enabling the sweeping robot to move, wherein in the moving process, the particles can update the weight and adapt the quantity according to the received laser and the odometer result; s323, when the particles are detected to be within the preset distance threshold along with the movement, determining the pose of the particle with the highest weight in the particle swarm as the relocated target position. And after the target position is located, transmitting the relocation result to the SLAM to restore to the original positioning system, and simultaneously issuing the relocation result to the other navigation modules for synchronization, thereby finishing the relocation.
Specifically, the fast positioning algorithm includes, but is not limited to, a position scoring calculation method. Illustratively, the method for determining the target positioning position of the sweeping robot returning to the ground after being held up according to the quick positioning algorithm comprises the following steps: s331, when the sweeping robot is detected to leave the ground and return to the ground again, at least one frame of laser radar signal is selected to carry out position scoring calculation on the sweeping robot, and a plurality of different position scoring calculation values are obtained; s332, sorting the plurality of different position scoring calculation values according to the sequence from top to bottom, and selecting a specified number of position scoring calculation values arranged in the front in the sorting to calculate the variance; and S333, comparing the variance with a preset threshold value, and determining a position corresponding to one of the position scoring calculation values of the specified number as a target position for repositioning the sweeping robot according to a comparison result.
In step S331, the position score of the sweeping robot is calculated by using a laser radar signal on the sweeping robot to calculate the score of the position of the sweeping robot after the sweeping robot returns to the ground. Illustratively, at least one frame of laser radar signal is selected to calculate the position score of the sweeping robot, and the method specifically includes the following steps: acquiring at least one frame of laser radar signal of the sweeping robot in a static state; acquiring a currently established map, and traversing a feasible reachable area for the first time according to the laser radar signal with the map precision; when the map is at any position of the map, performing second traversal on the pose angle in a manner of 5 degrees of iteration each time; and when a certain pose is specified, scoring calculation is carried out. Specifically, in order to make the result more reliable, the laser radar signal should contain more hit information as much as possible, and if the reliability of the laser at the current position is poor, the sweeper can be moved to search for obtaining a reliable laser radar signal and is stationary. In addition, the map is generally a grid map, which is a two-dimensional map, the grid map divides x and y by resolution, and the first layer of traversal assumes that the robot is in any grid pixel. And moreover, the pose angle is subjected to the second time of traversal in a mode of 5 degrees for each iteration until the traversal is finished by 360 degrees, and then the traversal is stopped.
Wherein the scoring specifically includes filtering each laser in the lidar signal, where the filtering is of a potentially erroneous laser and all missed lasers. For example, when the laser hits an obstacle, it is detected whether the previous grid map cell hit by the grid map cell is a feasible reachable cell, and if not, it represents that the laser has an error, and no calculation can be added.
Then, after filtering, the laser which can participate in calculation is calculated sequentially according to the following steps: calculating the position coordinates of the laser hit points on a map; calculating the position coordinate of the previous feasible region of the hit point in the laser direction; when the hit rate of the map grid where the hit point is located is higher than the hit threshold and the concentration rate of the grid where the feasible region is located is lower than the hit threshold, calculating the difference value between the hit position and the center position of the grid, then, score is calculated as distance, wherein σ is a confidence index, which is adjustable, and the order of magnitude is generally one percent. And summing all the laser beams according to the calculation above to obtain the result, namely the score of the position under the laser frame.
Specifically, in step S02, the plurality of position scoring calculation values obtained by calculating the position of the sweeping robot are sorted in descending order, a predetermined number of scoring calculation values arranged in the front, for example, 5 to 10 scoring calculation values arranged in the front, are selected from the sorted position scoring calculation values, and then the variance of the selected scoring calculation values is calculated. The variance represents the difference of the surrounding environment of the sweeping robot, and the bigger the variance is, the bigger the difference of the surrounding environment of the sweeping robot is, so that the positioning is more favorably realized; conversely, the smaller the difference in the environmental space around the specification, the less easy it is to achieve accurate positioning.
Further, the determining, according to the comparison result, a position corresponding to one of the position scoring calculation values of the specified number as a target position for repositioning the sweeping robot further includes: s341, if the variance is greater than or equal to a preset first threshold, determining a position corresponding to a highest position scoring calculation value among the designated number of position scoring calculation values as a target position for repositioning the cleaning robot; and S342, if the variance is smaller than a preset first threshold value, rotating the sweeping robot in situ to acquire the next frame of laser radar signals under different angles again to calculate the target position of the sweeping robot for relocation again.
Specifically, the determining that the position corresponding to the highest position scoring calculation value in the specified number of position scoring calculation values is the target position where the sweeping robot is repositioned may further include: calculating a difference value between the highest position scoring calculation value and the next highest position scoring calculation value in the designated number of position scoring calculation values; judging whether the difference value is larger than a preset second threshold value, wherein the second threshold value is smaller than the highest position scoring calculation value; and if so, determining the position corresponding to the highest position scoring calculation value as the target position of the robot for sweeping the floor to reappear the positioning.
The second threshold value can also be set according to the experimental condition of the robot during sweeping in a specific application scene. Typically, the second threshold is 1/5 to 1/3 of the highest score calculation.
Further, after the step of determining whether the difference is greater than a preset second threshold, the method may further include the step of: if not, the sweeping robot rotates in situ at different angles in sequence to obtain the next frame of laser radar signal; aiming at the highest position scoring calculation value and the second highest position scoring calculation value, performing position scoring calculation again by utilizing the next frame of laser radar signals obtained by rotating different angles to obtain position scoring calculation values of multiple results; and selecting the position with the most matching times as a target position for the reproduction and positioning of the sweeping robot according to the position scoring calculation value. According to the method, the repositioning target position is determined according to the difference value between the highest position scoring calculation value and the second highest position scoring calculation value, so that the positioning of the sweeping robot can be accurately realized.
In step S314, the sweeping robot rotates in situ at different angles in turn, may rotate in situ at two different angles at random, or may regularly select two angles according to a preset angle. For example, in step S314, the sweeper may rotate in situ by 45 degrees and 90 degrees in sequence to acquire the next frame of lidar signals, respectively.
Specifically, in step S342, the step of re-acquiring the next frame of laser radar signals at different angles to re-calculate the target position of the sweeping robot for re-positioning includes: according to the obtained next frame of laser radar signal, carrying out position scoring calculation on the sweeping robot again to obtain a group of different position scoring calculation values again; sorting the plurality of different position scoring calculation values according to the sequence from top to bottom, and selecting a specified number of position scoring calculation values arranged in the front in the sorting to calculate the variance; and comparing the variance with a preset threshold value, and determining a position corresponding to one of the position scoring calculation values of the specified number according to a comparison result to serve as a target position for repositioning the sweeping robot.
In combination with the above, when the target position of the sweeping robot cannot be relocated by using the variance obtained after the position scoring calculation is performed on one frame of laser radar signal obtained by the sweeping robot, the next frame of laser radar signal is obtained again, the position of the sweeping robot is determined again by performing the position scoring calculation and the variance calculation again according to the obtained laser radar signal, and after a group of a plurality of different position scoring calculation values are obtained again, the target position of the sweeping robot is determined by repeating the steps S332 to S333 until the target position can be determined.
By the aid of the rapid positioning algorithm, the robot can be quickly positioned when the robot returns to the ground after being held up without restarting the SLAM, and accordingly positioning and map building work of the sweeping robot is recovered.
It should be understood that, the sequence numbers of the steps in the foregoing embodiments do not imply an execution sequence, and the execution sequence of each process should be determined by its function and inherent logic, and should not constitute any limitation to the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.
Under the same inventive concept, based on the repositioning method for the floor sweeping robot after being held up, the invention also provides a repositioning device for the floor sweeping robot after being held up.
