Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a dispatch robot recall method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The dispatch robot recall method of fig. 2 may be performed by the terminal device or the server of fig. 1. As shown in fig. 2 in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the dispatch robot recall method includes:

step S201, in response to the recall information, acquiring working state data of the dispatching robot, where the recall information includes a newly assigned task.

Specifically, the recall information may be generated based on an interactive operation of the management user on the terminal interface when the robot is to be recalled, and the server of the article delivery system performs step S201 after acquiring the recall information. The recall information may include information for the newly assigned task, such as a task category and a departure location for the newly assigned task.

And step S202, acquiring the current task of the dispatching robot according to the working state data.

Specifically, the working state data may include information of a current task of the dispatch robot, such as a task category of the current task, a target dispatch address, and a standby point corresponding to the current task. The standby point corresponding to the current task refers to an item handover location of the current task, for example, the standby point may be set at a hotel entrance location in a hotel lobby, and is not limited thereto.

And step S203, determining a primary target task and a secondary target task of the dispatching robot according to the priority level of the newly assigned task and the priority level of the current task.

Specifically, by comparing the priority levels of the newly assigned task and the current task, the task needing to be processed preferentially next by the dispatching robot can be determined, so that the execution sequence of the coordinated tasks is realized, and the delay of the task time limit is avoided.

And step S204, controlling the dispatching robot to execute the primary target task.

Specifically, after the dispatch robot executes the primary target task, the dispatch robot may execute the original task again, or cancel the execution plan of the original task. For example, when both the primary target task and the secondary target task are delivery tasks, the delivery task as the primary target task may be executed and then the delivery task as the secondary target task may be executed, or the delivery task for the secondary target task may be cancelled and the article in the storage compartment of the delivery robot may be taken out and handled by another person or another robot.

According to the technical scheme of the embodiment of the disclosure, the priority levels are preset for different tasks of the dispatching robot, the task execution sequence of the dispatching robot can be planned according to the priority levels of the current task and the newly assigned task when the dispatching robot is recalled, so that the task coordination work when the dispatching robot is recalled can be completed, and the normal operation of the dispatching robot is ensured.

In step S203, the task with the higher priority level among the priority level of the newly assigned task and the current task may be determined as a primary target task, and the task with the lower priority level may be determined as a secondary target task. When the dispatching robot is recalled, the task execution sequence is arranged according to the priority levels of different tasks, and the task with higher priority level can be dispatched preferentially.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, if the primary target task is the current task and the secondary target task is the newly assigned dispatch task, the dispatch robot is controlled to execute the current task preferentially and then execute the newly assigned task.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the primary target task is a newly assigned task and the secondary target task is a current dispatch task, it needs to be considered whether the article corresponding to the current task occupies the storage compartment and cannot execute the newly assigned task, and it needs to be considered whether the article corresponding to the current task needs to be handed over to another person as soon as possible or the robot arranges another dispatch manner, so the specific contents included in step 204 are different.

The new assignment task may be a new assignment dispatch task and a new assignment non-dispatch task, wherein the new assignment dispatch task refers to a task of a newly assigned dispatch item, and the task requires the use of a storage compartment. The newly assigned non-delivery task refers to a newly assigned task such as a welcome or a guide, which does not require the use of a storage compartment. In addition, if the current task is a delivery task and the current delivery task needs to be handed over to another person or the robot processes as soon as possible, the original article needs to be taken out. Even in the case where the newly assigned task does not require a storage compartment or the delivery robot has an extra storage compartment, if the expected consumption time of the newly assigned task is long, it is necessary to take out the original articles in the storage compartment of the assigned robot in advance.

Specifically, if the time limit of the current dispatch task is one hour and the consumed time of the newly assigned task is expected to be two hours, the original articles in the storage compartment of the assigned robot need to be taken out in advance.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the primary target task is a newly assigned dispatch task and the secondary target task is a current dispatch task, before step S204, it may be determined whether the items in the storage compartment of the dispatch robot need to be taken out according to the time limit of the current dispatch task and whether the storage compartment of the dispatch robot is free. If the primary target task is a newly assigned non-delivery task and the secondary target task is a current delivery task, before step S204, it may be determined whether the articles in the storage compartment of the delivery robot need to be taken out according to the time limit of the current delivery task.

When the specific action of the dispatching robot is planned, if the primary target task is a newly assigned dispatching task and the secondary target task is a current dispatching task, if no article exists in the storage compartment of the dispatching robot or the article does not need to be taken out, the dispatching robot can be controlled to go to the service place of the newly assigned dispatching task so as to receive and dispatch the article of the newly assigned dispatching task, and after the primary target task is executed, the dispatching robot is controlled to execute the secondary target task.

If the primary target task is the newly assigned dispatch task and the secondary target task is the current dispatch task, in step S204, if the article in the storage compartment of the dispatch robot needs to be taken out, the dispatch robot is controlled to go to a fixed standby point, so as to take out the first dispatch article of the current dispatch task from the storage compartment of the dispatch robot for re-dispatch; after the first delivery object is taken out of the storage compartment, the delivery robot is controlled to go to the service place of the newly assigned delivery task so as to receive the object of the newly assigned delivery task and deliver the object.

If the primary target task is a newly assigned non-dispatch task and the secondary target task is a current dispatch task, in step S204, if the article in the storage compartment of the dispatch robot needs to be taken out, the dispatch robot is controlled to go to a fixed standby point, so as to take out the first dispatch article of the current dispatch task from the storage compartment of the dispatch robot for dispatch; after the first delivery object is taken out of the storage compartment, the delivery robot is controlled to go to a service place of the newly assigned non-delivery task so as to provide the service of the newly assigned non-delivery task.

As shown in fig. 3, the dispatch robot recall method of an embodiment of the present disclosure may include the steps of:

step S301, a new assignment task of the dispatch robot is acquired.

Step S302, the current task of the dispatching robot is obtained.

Step S303, determining whether the priority level of the newly assigned task is higher than the priority level of the current task. If not, step S304 is executed, and if yes, step S305 is executed.

And step S304, controlling the dispatching robot to complete the current task preferentially.

In step S305, it is determined whether or not the article in the storage compartment of the dispatch robot needs to be taken out. If so, go to step S306, and if so, go to step S307.

Specifically, the condition for determining whether the article in the storage compartment of the dispatching robot needs to be taken out may be: whether the object corresponding to the current task occupies the object placing cabin so that the newly assigned task cannot be executed, whether the object corresponding to the current task needs to be handed over to other people or the robot as soon as possible, and whether the current task exceeds the time limit after the expected consumption time of the newly assigned task.

And step S306, controlling the dispatching robot to go to a fixed standby point.

Specifically, at the fixed standby point, the articles in the storage compartment of the dispatching robot are taken out and are dispatched by staff or other dispatching robots are arranged for dispatching.

Step S307, the dispatching robot is controlled to go to the service place of the newly assigned non-dispatching task.

Specifically, at the service site, the dispatch robot may provide a greeting or a lead service.

All the above optional technical solutions may be combined arbitrarily to form optional embodiments of the present application, and are not described herein again.

According to the dispatch robot recall method disclosed by the embodiment of the disclosure, the primary target task of the dispatch robot is determined according to the priority level of the newly assigned task and the priority level of the current task, the task execution sequence of the dispatch robot can be reasonably arranged, and the working capacity of the dispatch robot is improved.
