It should be understood that the number of computing devices in fig. 1 is merely illustrative. There may be any number of computing devices, as desired for an implementation.

Fig. 2 is a flow chart of some embodiments of an in-building delivery method according to the present disclosure. The in-building delivery method of fig. 2 may be performed by computing device 101 of fig. 1. As shown in fig. 2, the in-building distribution method includes:

step S201, order information corresponding to the resident orders in the building is obtained.

In some embodiments, the order information at least includes: a distribution site, a distribution list, a distribution site, and a cargo preservation requirement. The distribution site may be a merchant corresponding to an in-building resident order, and the distribution list may include: the names of the goods, the quantity of the goods, the specification of the goods and the like; the cargo-holding requirements may include: normal temperature preservation, cold preservation, freezing preservation, heating preservation, anti-collision preservation, anti-tilting preservation and the like.

In some optional implementations of some embodiments, before the acquiring order information corresponding to the in-building resident order, the method further includes: and pushing the robot on-door delivery service information and matched merchant information to the display equipment corresponding to the order information. Here, the customer may be new, and the robot up delivery information and the merchant information supporting up delivery may be pushed to the user for selection by the user.

Step S202, determining a target delivery robot based on the order information.

In some embodiments, the execution subject of the in-building delivery method may determine the target delivery robot by: firstly, determining the size of a storage bin based on the goods allocation list; secondly, determining the type of the storage bin based on the cargo preservation requirement; and finally, determining the target delivery robot based on the size of the storage bin and the type of the storage bin. Here, the target delivery robot is determined through two different dimensions, including a storage bin size and a storage bin type, where the storage bin type may be a normal temperature storage bin, a low temperature storage bin, a thermal insulation storage bin, an anti-collision storage bin, a fixed anti-toppling storage bin, and the like.

And step S203, controlling the target delivery robot to move to the distribution place corresponding to the resident order in the building to assemble goods.

In some embodiments, the execution subject of the in-building delivery method may assemble the goods by:

controlling the target delivery robot to move to a place corresponding to the resident order in the building; here, after the order information is acquired from the shipment location, the target robot is controlled to move to the shipment location.

A second step of determining whether the target delivery robot can autonomously assemble the cargo based on the cargo allocation site; here, when the distribution site is a site which can be directly taken by a supermarket, a pharmacy or the like, it is determined that the target delivery robot can autonomously assemble the goods, and when the distribution site is a site which can be taken by a restaurant or the like and is required to be manufactured, it is determined that the target delivery robot cannot autonomously assemble the goods.

Thirdly, when the fact that goods can be assembled autonomously is determined, controlling the target delivery robot to assemble the goods autonomously based on the goods allocation list; when the distribution site is a site which can be directly taken by a supermarket, a pharmacy or the like, the target distribution robot is determined to be capable of automatically assembling the goods, and then the robot is controlled to automatically assemble the goods based on the distribution list.

Here, after the target delivery robot finishes picking up the goods, before delivery is started from the delivery site exit, a detection device preset at the delivery site gate detects whether the goods assembled by the target delivery robot are matched with the delivery list, that is, the accuracy of goods picking up is determined again. If the list is not matched with the list, a departure alarm is given to remind people.

And step S204, when the target delivery robot finishes goods assembly, controlling the target robot to deliver. .

In some embodiments, the execution subject of the in-building delivery method may control the target delivery robot to deliver by: firstly, determining the floor and room numbers of the distribution place; secondly, determining a riding elevator based on the floors; then, determining the running position and the full load state of the elevator capable of being taken; then, determining a target elevator based on the running position and the full load state of the elevator; and finally, controlling the target delivery robot to take the target riding elevator, and completing delivery based on the room number.
