and obtaining the distance between the robot and the charging pile by using a laser radar and a preset laser ranging method, inputting the distance between the robot and the charging pile into an internal system, and controlling the robot to advance by the same distance by using the internal system so as to enable the robot and the charging pile to be successfully butted.
7. A robot is to stake device based on lidar which characterized in that includes: the device comprises an image capturing module, an image comparison module, a calibration module and a motion control module;
the image intercepting module is used for scanning the surrounding environment information through a laser radar after the robot enters a preset pile aligning range of the charging pile, acquiring a plurality of radar data point sets, and generating a plurality of intercepted images according to the plurality of radar data point sets; each radar data point set corresponds to one image;
the image comparison module is used for respectively comparing each intercepted image with the template image to obtain the position information of the central point of the charging pile;
the calibration module calculates offset data of the robot relative to the charging pile according to a first radar data point set with the highest matching degree with the template, so that the position and the posture of the robot are adjusted to be opposite to the charging pile;
the motion control module is used for controlling the robot to advance for the same distance according to the distance between the robot and the charging pile obtained through the laser radar so that the robot can be successfully docked with the charging pile.
8. The apparatus as claimed in claim 7, wherein the image capturing module is configured to scan information of a surrounding environment through the lidar, obtain a plurality of radar data point sets, and generate a plurality of captured images according to the plurality of radar data point sets, and specifically includes:
the method comprises the steps that a plurality of laser beams are emitted through a laser radar to obtain a plurality of point laser points, each laser point is used as a segmentation center of a plurality of radar data, the laser points traverse to two ends respectively, data with preset length are intercepted, the laser points and the adjacent points of the laser points within the preset length range form a radar data point set, and therefore a plurality of radar data point sets are obtained, and a plurality of intercepted images which correspond one to one are generated through the plurality of radar data point sets; the preset length is half of the width of a characteristic area of the charging pile.
9. The lidar-based robot pile aligning device according to claim 7, wherein the image comparison module is configured to compare each captured image with the template image, respectively, to obtain the position information of the center point of the charging pile, and specifically comprises: and respectively subtracting each intercepted image from a preset template image, taking an absolute value from the difference value of the two intercepted images, and judging the geometric central point of the intercepted image with the minimum absolute value as the central point of the charging pile so as to obtain the central point position information of the charging pile.
10. A robot, comprising: the laser radar system comprises a controller and a laser radar connected with the controller;
the controller is configured to perform the lidar based robot pile-on-pile method as defined in any of claims 1-6.
