Fig. 1 is a schematic view of one application scenario of a dispensing robot determining method according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

In the application scenario of fig. 1, first, a computing device 101 may obtain a delivery request 102 for a resident. Second, the computing device 101 may determine at least one initial delivery robot 103 based on the delivery request 102.

Step S202, based on the delivery request, determining at least one initial delivery robot.

In some embodiments, the execution subject of the delivery robot determining method may determine at least one initial delivery robot by:

firstly, determining the minimum size of a storage bin based on the weight and the outline of the article in the article information; here, different dispensing robots have storage bins with different sizes, and the maximum weight that can be born by the storage bins with different sizes is also different, so firstly, the minimum size of the storage bin is determined based on the article profile selection, the minimum size can be the diameter or the length, width, height and other information of the storage bin, secondly, whether the storage bin corresponding to the minimum size of the storage bin can bear the articles with the determined article weight or not is determined, if yes, the current size is determined to be the minimum size of the storage bin, and if not, the minimum size of the storage bin is adjusted.

Step two, determining an initial distribution robot based on the minimum size of the storage bin; firstly, determining the size of an available storage bin of each distribution robot; and secondly, determining an initial distribution robot based on the minimum size of the storage bin and the size of the available storage bin. As an example, the bins are spherical bins, and the smallest dimension of the bins (diameter of the sphere) =0.25 meters, and the dispensing robots with diameters of all spherical bins larger than 0.25 are initial dispensing robots.

Step S203, determining a target delivery robot based on the at least one initial delivery robot.

In some embodiments, the execution subject of the delivery robot determining method may determine the target delivery robot by:

the method comprises the steps of firstly, determining current distribution information of each initial distribution robot in at least one initial distribution robot; here, the current distribution information includes at least: current power, current delivery status, current position.

Step two, determining a target delivery robot based on the current delivery information; firstly, when the current delivery state of the initial delivery robot is an idle state, determining that the initial delivery robot is a target delivery robot to be selected; then, determining a target delivery robot based on the current position and the current electric quantity of the target delivery robot to be selected; here, it is determined whether the initial distribution robot is in an idle state, and if the initial distribution robot is in the idle state, the most suitable initial distribution robot is selected based on the distance between the current position and the distribution start point, and then the current electric quantity of the suitable initial distribution robot is further determined, and if the initial distribution robots are all suitable, the initial distribution robot is determined to be the target distribution robot.

Step S204, the information and the valuation of the target robot are sent to a target display device.

In some embodiments, after the target robot is determined, the information and the valuation of the target robot are sent to the display device corresponding to the resident.
