All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail by the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
According to the autonomous elevator taking method for the robot, the automatic driving technology is applied to the robot for floor operation, and the problems of resource waste and high cost caused by the fact that one robot is used for operation on one floor at present are solved.
Example one
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of an autonomous ladder taking method of a robot according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the autonomous ladder taking method of a robot according to an embodiment of the present invention mainly includes the following steps:
step 101, a service module acquires and analyzes task information to determine a target floor.
Specifically, the business module can be understood as a unit in the robot having functions of calculating, processing and interacting information with other modules. The robot may specifically include a cleaning robot (e.g., a vacuum cleaner, a floor cleaning vehicle, a floor maintenance vehicle, a floor sweeping robot, etc.), a delivery robot, a welcome robot, a disinfection robot, etc. The task information may specifically be cleaning task information, food delivery task information, express delivery task information, welcome task information, disinfection task information, and other operation information.
And 102, the service module instructs the regulation and control module to control the robot to travel to the first elevator waiting point of the current floor.
Specifically, the control module may be specifically understood as a unit having computing and controlling capabilities in the robot, and illustratively, the control module includes a navigation function, a behavior decision planning function and a control function, a communication function, and the like.
Further specifically, the service module determines a first elevator waiting point corresponding to the target floor, and sends a path planning request including the first elevator waiting point to the planning module, so that the planning module plans a navigation path from the current position to the first elevator waiting point, and controls the robot to travel to the first elevator waiting point along the navigation path.
And 103, the service module acquires the running state of the target elevator corresponding to the first elevator waiting point, judges whether the target elevator is available according to the running state and sends an elevator taking request when the target elevator is available.
In some examples, the operational status includes whether the elevator has failed, floor information that the elevator can reach, elevator load bearing information, whether communication capability is available, and the like. In some embodiments, in step 103, the service module determines that the target elevator is unavailable if the service module determines that the target elevator is any one of the following: the target elevator breaks down, the load bearing of the target elevator is smaller than the weight of the robot, the target elevator cannot be in communication connection (for example, the cloud server cannot be in communication connection with the target elevator, or the robot cannot be in communication connection with the target elevator), and the target elevator cannot reach the floor where the robot is located at present.
Specifically, the obtaining, by the service module, the operating state of the target elevator corresponding to the first elevator waiting point includes, but is not limited to, the following modes:
mode A: and the service module sends a target elevator running state acquisition request to the cloud server and receives the running state of the target elevator from the cloud server.
The cloud server in the method a is, for example, a server capable of managing elevators in a certain area, such as a server of a building, and is capable of managing the cloud terminals of all elevators in the building; alternatively, the system may be a server capable of managing a certain brand of elevator in a certain geographical area, for example, a server capable of managing all the elevators of the brand name in beijing.
Mode B: the service module establishes communication connection with the target elevator and sends a running state acquisition request to the target elevator; the operating condition is received from the target elevator.
The service module establishes communication connection with the target elevator, for example, the communication connection between the devices can be established through wifi or bluetooth, or the service module controls a sensing module in the robot to acquire a two-dimensional code image of the target elevator and perform scanning to complete the communication connection; the communication connection between the service module and the target elevator can be established by adopting a communication connection mode between the devices in the prior art, and the communication connection mode is not strictly limited in the application.
Further specifically, when the robot reaches the first waiting point, the orientation of the robot is adjusted, so that the robot faces the elevator entrance of the target elevator, and the regulation and control module sends positioning information to the service module. And the service module sends the positioning information to a cloud server or a target elevator. The cloud server or the target elevator can search the target elevator corresponding to the positioning information according to the positioning information, so that the running state of the target elevator is determined.
In step 103, when the service module determines that the target elevator is available, step 1031 is executed; when the running state of the target elevator is unavailable, the task is finished or the target elevator is replaced.
Step 1031, the service module sends an elevator taking request containing the current floor ID and the target floor ID to the cloud server; or the service module sends an elevator taking request containing the current floor ID and the target floor ID to the target elevator.
And 104, judging whether the robot meets the elevator entering condition or not by the service module, and if so, indicating the rule control module to control the robot to drive into the target elevator. And if the condition of entering the elevator is not met, continuing to wait and continuously judging whether the robot meets the condition of entering the elevator.
Specifically, the parameters of the entry condition may specifically include the heading direction of the target elevator, the opening and closing of the target elevator door, the volume of the target elevator, the load capacity of the target elevator, and the like.
Further specifically, the service module determines whether the target elevator arrives at the current floor and the running direction is consistent with the direction going to the target floor according to the running state of the target elevator;
if yes, judging whether the target elevator door is opened or not; and if the robot is opened, determining whether the target elevator can bear the robot, and if so, determining that the robot meets the elevator entering condition. If the robot meets the entry condition, step 1041 is performed. And if the robot does not meet the elevator entering condition, repeatedly executing the step 103 and the step 104.
Step 1041, the service module sends the elevator task to the rule control module.
Specifically, the regulation and control module carries out obstacle avoidance and plans an elevator entering path according to the environment information around the robot acquired by the sensor, so that the robot can smoothly enter the elevator.
Preferably, the service module further determines whether the robot successfully enters the elevator. The regulation and control module can determine whether the robot passes through the elevator door line or not by judging. When the robot crosses the elevator door line, the regulation and control module returns information of successful elevator entering to the service module.
Further, when the service module determines that the robot successfully enters the elevator, the map engine module is instructed to load and display the target floor map.
Furthermore, when the service module determines that the map engine module successfully loads the target floor map, the service module instructs the positioning module to perform positioning initialization and position the target elevator. Specifically, positioning initialization specifically refers to determining an initial pose of the robot according to the initial pose of the target floor.
And 105, when the service module determines that the target elevator reaches the target floor, the service module instructs the regulation and control module to control the robot to exit the elevator and drive to a second elevator waiting point corresponding to the target floor.
Specifically, the service module determines that the target elevator arrives at the target floor, which may specifically include, but is not limited to, the following several ways:
and in the first mode, the service module matches the positioning information fed back by the positioning module with the positioning information of the target floor, and determines that the target elevator reaches the target floor when the matching is successful. In the first mode, the positioning information corresponding to each floor is collected and stored in advance.
And secondly, matching the ID of the arrival floor in the running state of the target elevator with the ID of the target floor by the service module, and determining the arrival floor when the matching is successful. In the second mode, the operation state may include information on normal operation of the elevator, information on failure, information on which floor the elevator is running, information on bearable weight, and the like.
And the service module matches the floor ID obtained by identifying the floor information attached to each floor by the sensing module with the target floor ID, and determines to reach the target floor when the matching is successful. In the third method, floor information (for example, a sticker indicating a floor, or a two-dimensional code including floor information) is previously attached to each floor, and the floor information is located near the elevator shaft where the target elevator is located, so that the sensor of the robot can acquire the floor information.
After determining that the target elevator arrives at the target floor, step 1051 is performed:
step 1051, the service module sends an exit request including a second landing point to the regulatory module. The planning module plans a second path from the target elevator to a second landing point and controls the robot to travel along the second path to the second landing point.
It is understood that before or during the execution of the method, the robot performs mapping according to the floor input by the user, and the specific mapping process is as follows:
the service module generates a mapping request containing a target floor ID according to the target floor ID input by a user, and sends the mapping request to the mapping module so that the mapping module establishes a floor map corresponding to the target floor, wherein the floor map contains elevator position points, elevator waiting points, elevator IDs, elevator door directions and elevator door lines corresponding to elevators.
More specifically, in order to improve the map building efficiency and reduce the calculation amount, before the map is built, the user must select a floor, and the robot starts the map building mode. After the map building is finished, the map building module sends the floor map to the service module, so that the service module stores the floor map and is convenient to call.
Further, when the robot is a cleaning robot, the method specifically includes:
the service module establishes and stores task information for each floor according to a preset floor map corresponding to each floor, wherein the task information comprises cleaning tasks and cleaning strategies thereof.
Or the service module receives and stores task information corresponding to each floor from the cloud server, wherein the task information comprises cleaning tasks and cleaning strategies thereof.
Still further, the method further comprises:
and the service module sends the task information of the target floor to the robot when determining that the robot reaches the second elevator waiting point of the target floor.
Still further preferably, the method further comprises:
after determining a target floor, the service module matches the target floor with the current floor; if the target floor is not the current floor, executing a step that the service module instructs the regulation and control module to control the robot to travel to a first elevator waiting point of the current floor; if the target floor is consistent with the current floor, executing the following steps: the service module acquires the cleaning state of the cleaning task in the task information of the current floor, and if the cleaning is determined to be not finished according to the cleaning state, the cleaning task of the current floor is continuously executed according to the cleaning strategy in the task information; and if the cleaning is determined to be finished according to the cleaning state, determining the next target floor to be cleaned.
According to the method and the device for the robot to take the elevator autonomously, the robot can take the elevator autonomously to reach the target floor to execute tasks through interaction of data of multiple parts in the robot, the problems that in the prior art, the cost of a robot taking the elevator is high, an algorithm is complex and the difficulty is high are solved, and the problems of resource waste and high cost caused by the fact that one robot is used for working at one floor in the real work are solved.
