The cargo processing method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to a cargo picking scene, a cargo storage scene, or other similar scenes. Taking a scenario applied to goods picking as an example, in the prior art, when goods are picked, a stop point is set in front of each storage position for placing articles, for example, please refer to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of positions between the storage positions and the stop points provided in the prior art, and for a storage position a, a storage position B, a storage position C, a storage position D, a storage position E, a storage position F, a storage position G, a storage position H, a storage position I, a storage position J, a storage position K and a storage position L, each storage position is correspondingly provided with a stop point. Referring to fig. 1, the stop point corresponding to the storage location a is stop point 1, the stop point corresponding to the storage location B is stop point 2, the stop point corresponding to the storage location C is stop point 3, the stop point corresponding to the storage location D is stop point 4, the stop point corresponding to the storage location E is stop point 5, the stop point corresponding to the storage location F is stop point 6, the stop point corresponding to the storage location G is stop point 7, the stop point corresponding to the storage location H is stop point 8, the stop point corresponding to the storage location I is stop point 9, the stop point corresponding to the storage location J is stop point 10, the stop point corresponding to the storage location K is stop point 11, and the stop point corresponding to the storage location L is stop point 12.
When the robot receives a picking task, assuming that the picking task comprises storage position identifications corresponding to six goods to be picked respectively, and the storage position identifications corresponding to the six goods to be picked are a storage position B, a storage position C, a storage position D, a storage position I, a storage position J and a storage position K in sequence, the robot automatically drives to a stop point corresponding to the storage position B where the first goods to be picked are located, picks the goods by a picker and puts the goods in the storage position B into a container of the robot; the robot automatically drives to a stop point corresponding to the storage position C where the second article to be picked is located, a picker picks the articles and puts the articles in the storage position C into a container of the robot; the robot automatically drives to a stop point corresponding to the storage position D where the third article to be picked is located, a picker picks the articles and puts the articles in the storage position D into a container of the robot; and by parity of reasoning, the robot automatically drives to a stop point corresponding to the storage position K where the sixth article to be picked is located, a goods picker picks up goods and places the articles in the storage position K into a container of the robot, and after all goods picking operations in the goods picking task are completed, the robot automatically drives to a rechecking table, so that all goods picking operations in the goods picking task are completed.
However, when the picking task shown in fig. 1 is executed, since the six storage positions are provided with the corresponding stop points, the robot needs to stop at the stop point 2 corresponding to the storage position B, the stop point 3 corresponding to the storage position C, the stop point 4 corresponding to the storage position D, the stop point 9 corresponding to the storage position I, the stop point 10 corresponding to the storage position J, and the stop point 11 corresponding to the storage position K, and the number of stops is large, and the robot needs to start and stop every stop, so that the picking efficiency is low.
In order to reduce the number of times of stopping of the robot and improve the picking efficiency, the conceivable technical scheme is as follows: when setting up the stop point, no longer set up a stop point for every storage position, but set up a stop point for the storage position that the adjacent distance is close, a plurality of adjacent storage positions that are close carry out many-to-one mapping with the stop point, can refer to as shown in fig. 2, fig. 2 is the position schematic diagram between a storage position and the stop point that this application embodiment provided, can see that, to storing position a, storing position B, storing position C, storing position D, storing position E, storing position F, storing position G, storing position H, storing position I, storing position J, storing position K and storing position L, no longer every stores up the position and all corresponds and is set up a stop point. But rather the same stop 1 is provided for storage position a, storage position B and storage position C, the same stop 2 is provided for storage position D, storage position E and storage position F, the same stop 3 is provided for storage position G, storage position H and storage position I, and the same stop 4 is provided for storage position J, storage position K and storage position L. Similarly, assuming that the storage position identifications corresponding to six goods to be picked in the picking task are a storage position B, a storage position C, a storage position D, a storage position I, a storage position J and a storage position K in sequence, the robot automatically drives to a stop point 1, a picker picks the goods and puts the goods in the storage position B and the storage position C into a container of the robot; the robot automatically drives to the stop point 2, a goods picker picks up goods and puts the goods in the storage position D into a container of the robot; the robot automatically drives to the stop point 3, a goods picker picks up goods and puts the goods in the storage position I into a container of the robot; the robot automatically drives to the stop point 4, a goods picker picks up goods and puts the goods in the storage position J and the storage position K into a container of the robot; and after all the picking operations in the picking task are finished, the robot automatically drives to the rechecking table, and all the picking operations in the picking task are finished.
It can be seen that, by mapping a plurality of storage positions and stop points adjacent to each other many to one, when the robot performs a picking task at the stop point, compared with the prior art in which 6 stops are needed, the picking task can be completed only by stopping 4 times by using the scheme shown in fig. 2, so that the stop times can be reduced to a certain extent, and the picking efficiency is improved. However, in the solution shown in fig. 2, the many-to-one mapping relationship between the storage locations and the stop points is statically configured, and the randomness of the storage location distribution corresponding to the items to be picked in different picking tasks is not considered, so that the most reasonable stop points corresponding to different picking tasks cannot be dynamically calculated.
As can be seen from fig. 1 or fig. 2, when the storage location identifiers corresponding to the six goods to be picked in the picking task are the storage location B, the storage location C, the storage location D, the storage location I, the storage location J, and the storage location K in sequence, the most reasonable parking scheme is: stopping at a stopping point 3 corresponding to the storage position C once, picking up goods by a goods picker, and putting the goods in the storage position B, the storage position C and the storage position D into a container of the robot; the picking task can be finished only by stopping twice.
Based on the above description, in order to improve the processing efficiency of goods when processing goods, the processing of goods may include not only picking up goods but also storing goods, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for processing goods, where a task to be processed is first obtained, the task to be processed includes storage space identifiers corresponding to a plurality of goods to be processed, an identifier of a preset docking point corresponding to each storage space identifier is determined, and a storage space identifier set corresponding to each preset docking point is determined, where the storage space identifier set includes storage space identifiers corresponding to a plurality of goods to be processed; determining target stop points corresponding to the plurality of storage positions according to the storage position identification sets, wherein any two storage positions with the distance smaller than a preset threshold value in the plurality of storage positions correspond to the same target stop point; after the target stop point is determined, a plurality of goods to be processed can be processed at the target stop point. The storage position identifier corresponding to each of the multiple goods to be processed can be understood as an identifier of a storage position corresponding to each of the multiple goods to be processed.
It can be understood that, in this embodiment of the application, the number of the determined target stop points may be one or multiple, and specifically may be determined according to an actual task to be processed, as long as the storage location corresponding to the determined target stop point can cover the storage location corresponding to the goods to be processed in the task to be processed.
Therefore, according to the cargo processing method provided by the embodiment of the application, after a to-be-processed task including storage location identifiers corresponding to multiple to-be-processed cargos is obtained, the identifiers of the preset stop points corresponding to the storage location identifiers are determined, the target stop points corresponding to the storage locations are determined according to the storage location identifier sets corresponding to the preset stop points, any two storage locations with the distance smaller than the preset threshold value in the storage locations correspond to the same target stop point, namely, different to-be-processed tasks are targeted, and the target stop points are determined by combining the storage locations corresponding to the multiple to-be-processed cargos in the to-be-processed task.

The storage position index corresponding to the storage position identifier corresponding to the goods to be processed in the task to be processed is shown in a column of table 1 in table 1, the storage position identifier corresponding to the goods to be processed in the task to be processed is shown in a column 2 in table 1, the preset stop point corresponding to the storage position identifier corresponding to the goods to be processed in the task to be processed is shown in a column 3 in table 1, the storage position identifier set corresponding to each preset stop point is shown in a column 4 in table 1, and the storage position index set corresponding to each preset stop point is shown in a column 5 in table 1.
Illustratively, at least one storage place identifier set in each storage place identifier set comprises at least two storage place identifiers, and when at least one storage place identifier set comprises at least two storage place identifiers, it is described that the preset stop point corresponding to the storage place identifier set can process goods in at least two storage places, so that the goods in the at least two storage places can be processed at the preset stop point once.
With reference to table 1, after the storage location identifier sets corresponding to the preset docking points are respectively determined, the target docking points corresponding to a plurality of storage locations can be determined according to the storage location identifier sets, that is, the following S304 is executed:
s304, determining target stop points corresponding to the storage positions according to the storage position identification sets.
And any two storage positions with the distance smaller than a preset threshold value in the plurality of storage positions correspond to the same target stop point.
For example, when determining the target stop points corresponding to the multiple storage locations according to the storage location identifier sets, the storage location index set corresponding to each storage location identifier set may be determined first, and the target stop points corresponding to the multiple storage locations may be determined according to each storage location index set and a preset constraint condition. Each storage position identification in the storage position identification set corresponds to one storage position index, and the storage position indexes corresponding to different storage position identifications are different. Wherein the preset constraint condition comprises: the storage positions corresponding to the determined target stop points can cover the storage positions corresponding to the multiple goods to be processed respectively, and one storage position can only correspond to one stop point. It is understood that, when determining the target stop point, in addition to the preset constraint condition, the method may further include: the smaller the number of determined target anchor points, the better.
