Wherein the control instruction is used for controlling the elevator to reach the appointed floor.
And 102, judging whether the elevator is positioned in the radiation range of the first communication base station by the first communication base station.

And 104, if the elevator is not positioned in the radiation range of the first communication base station, the first communication base station forwards a control command to a second communication base station adjacent to the first communication base station.
In the embodiment, if the elevator is located in the radiation range of the first communication base station, the first communication base station sends a control command to the elevator, so that the robot calls the elevator through the first communication base station; if the elevator is not located in the radiation range of the first communication base station, namely the elevator cannot receive the control command sent by the first communication base station, the first communication base station forwards the control command to a second communication base station adjacent to the first communication base station, so that the control command sent by the robot can be transmitted among a plurality of communication base stations, the control command can be forwarded, and finally the call to the elevator is realized.
In the communication method between the robot and the elevator, the first communication base station receives a control instruction sent by the robot, the first communication base station judges whether the elevator is located within a radiation range of the first communication base station, if the elevator is located within the radiation range of the first communication base station, the first communication base station sends the control instruction to the elevator, if the elevator is not located within the radiation range of the first communication base station, the first communication base station forwards the control instruction to the second communication base station adjacent to the first communication base station.
Based on the above embodiment, this embodiment provides another communication method between a robot and an elevator, and for convenience of description in this embodiment, a base station corresponding to a radiation range in which the robot is located is referred to as a first communication base station, a communication base station adjacent to the first communication base station is referred to as a second communication base station, and a communication base station adjacent to the second communication base station is referred to as a third communication base station.

Step 202, the first communication base station judges whether the elevator is located within the radiation range of the first communication base station.
In an implementation manner of this embodiment, the first communication base station calls the elevator, and the first communication base station determines whether to receive feedback information of the elevator, and if the feedback information of the elevator is received, it is determined that the elevator is within a radiation range of the first communication base station, and if the feedback information of the elevator is not received, it is determined that the elevator is not within the radiation range of the first communication base station.
And step 203, if the elevator is positioned in the radiation range of the first communication base station, the first communication base station sends a control command to the elevator.
And step 204, if the elevator is not located in the radiation range of the first communication base station, the first communication base station forwards a control command to a second communication base station adjacent to the first communication base station.

If the elevator is located within the radiation range of the second communication base station, the second communication base station sends a control command to the elevator, so that the robot calls the elevator through the second communication base station; if the elevator is not located in the radiation range of the second communication base station, namely the elevator cannot receive the control command sent by the second communication base station, the second communication base station continues to forward the control command to a third communication base station adjacent to the second communication base station.
Further, similarly, after receiving the control instruction forwarded by the second communication base station, the third communication base station may continue to determine whether the elevator is within the radiation range of the third communication base station, and if it is determined that the elevator is within the radiation range of the third communication base station, the control instruction is sent to the elevator, where the determination method is the same as the determination method of the second communication base station or the first communication base station, and is not repeated in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the control instruction sent by the robot is forwarded through one or more communication base stations until one of the N communication base stations confirms that the elevator is located within the radiation range of the communication base station, and then the control instruction is sent to the elevator, so that after the elevator receives the control instruction, the elevator is controlled to run to the floor where the robot is located through a control system arranged on the elevator, call control of the robot on the elevator is realized, and meanwhile, the cost is low.
