Background technology
The position self control robot robot of extensive use development from industrial circle usually, and in government, public office, company, family etc., be used widely.
Use this position self control robot to be used for from controlling autokinetic movement that need not the manual control of user and the cleaner that cleans presumptive area.For autokinetic movement, position self control robot need accurately be discerned its current location and accurately calculate the direction of motion and move distance.
In order to satisfy these needs, developed telemetry traditionally.Use the position self control robot of traditional telemetry to utilize rangefinder or wheel sensor acquisition velocity information and utilize Magnetic Sensor to obtain azimuth information, and move distance and the direction of motion of calculating from the initial position to the next position, thereby discern its position and direction.
Fig. 1 is illustrated in the exemplary conceptual of recognizing site and direction in the telemetry coordinate system.In this telemetry coordinate system, the coordinate x that the position of position self control robot 1 is positioned at by the center of rotation 2 of this position self control robot 1 rAnd y rLimit, and the direction of this position self control robot 1 is by the forward direction of this position self control robot 1 and the angle t between the x axle rLimit.
Traditional telemetry depends on the information of spontaneous generation, and does not utilize the information of outside input, and can obtain positional information with very high sampling rate, thereby upgrades positional information very fast.In addition, telemetry provides degree of precision for short distance, and cost is lower.
Yet because telemetry utilizes integration to come calculating location and direction, measure error will accumulate along with the increase of travel distance.Particularly, because the error that slide (it may be owing to the flooring material in the moving region causes) causes produces accumulation and is not compensated, reduced precision thus.
Utilizing a kind of the improving one's methods of telemetry recognizing site and direction is the method for utilizing radio frequency identification (RFID) card and RFID reader.
A plurality of rfid cards with unique positional information are placed in the zone of wherein position self control robot 1 motion on the floor.Then, utilize the RFID reader to detect rfid card when position self control robot 1 moves on the floor, and read unique positional information, thereby discern its current location.
Fig. 2 represents the notion of recognizing site and direction in the RFID coordinate system.The current location of position self control robot 1 is by the coordinate x of this position self control robot 1 detected rfid card 3 in a plurality of rfid cards 3 cAnd y cLimit, described a plurality of rfid cards 3 are placed in the moving region in the floor 5 with matrix form.In rfid card 3, store unique numbering respectively, and position self control robot 1 has the corresponding respectively RFID coordinate figure of unique number that is the reference table form with these.Position self control robot 1 detects a rfid card 3, utilizes RFID reader 4 to obtain the unique number of described rfid card 3, and finds in reference table and the corresponding RFID coordinate figure of unique number that is obtained, thereby discerns its current location.
In utilizing the method for RFID, the precision of position self control robot recognizing site and direction is determined according to the distribution density of rfid card 3.When the distribution density of rfid card 3 is too low, can not desired locations self control robot 1 accurately recognizing site and direction.When the distribution density of rfid card 3 is too high, as shown in Figure 3, may during reading unique number, produce error owing to the interference between the RF signal of rfid card 3a, 3b and 3c output.
Therefore, in order to prevent to produce error, the distribution density of rfid card 3 must be limited in the suitable scope.The feasible precision of the method for RFID of utilizing of such restriction reduces.In addition, when having the material that absorbs magnetic field in the position of placing rfid card 3, also may produce error.
In addition, in order in utilizing the method for RFID, to discern direction, as shown in Figure 3, need discern two or more rfid cards 3a, 3b and 3c simultaneously.In the distribution density of rfid card 3 when not being enough high, to the identification of the direction difficulty that just becomes.
Especially, inconvenience is placed on rfid card 3 in the floor 5.When damaging appears in rfid card 3, need repair floor 5 fully, the rfid card 3 that perhaps need take out damage also needs new rfid card 3 is placed in the floor 5, and this has destroyed the outward appearance on floor 5.
In addition, because the zone is bigger, thus need to use a large amount of rfid cards 3, thus high mounting cost and high maintenance cost caused, and need careful processing during in operating position self control robot 1, safeguarding.

According to the present invention, can adopt existing floor or special ground paperboard or the ceramic tile of making to be used for floor 103.
In other words, can two dimension (2D) bar code 104 be printed on the existing floor 103, perhaps the sheet material of having printed 2D bar code 104 on it can be attached on the existing floor 103 with predetermined space.Alternatively, 2D bar code 104 can be printed on the ground paperboard or ceramic tile of special manufacturing, or the sheet material of having printed 2D bar code 104 on it is attached on this ground paperboard or the ceramic tile.
As shown in Figure 6,2D bar code 104 is for representing the symbol or the notation of information with the pattern with different in width.In the present invention, can implement 2D bar code 104 with various forms.
In other words, each 2D bar code 104 all can be embodied as any single figure, for example ring, numeral or contain the special character of customizing messages.For example, in the 2D bar code 104 shown in Figure 6, data are arranged and are flushed along two axis (that is, along X-direction and Y direction).The advantage of this 2D bar code 104 is and can stores mass data with higher density in narrow zone, space availability ratio is very high, from pollute or impaired symbol detect wrong and to recover the performances of data very good, and owing to black and white element are not limited to a side, print and read symbol thus easily, and can read symbol along each 360 ° of direction.
Because can read 2D bar code 104, can read fast along any direction.Therefore, 2D bar code 104 is suitable for the present invention.
The scope of moving region is set in the memory of position self control robot 101 in advance.In addition, the absolute coordinate in the storing moving zone in this memory.
Therefore, when position self control robot 101 operation, the floor 103 that bar code reader 105 scanning position self control robots 101 are positioned at reading 2D bar code 104, and obtains the coordinate that is recorded in the 2D bar code 104.Then, control module is identified as the coordinate figure that is obtained and is stored in absolute coordinate in the memory, in predetermined range of movement.
Then, control module adopts described absolute coordinate in the program motion algorithm, and the controlled motion unit is to guide to the direction of motion with main body 102.
In other words, after reading the unique coordinate values of 2D bar code 104 by bar code reader 105, control module is identified as this unique coordinate values the absolute coordinate in the moving region that is provided with in memory, and the current location (current absolute position) of recognizing site self control robot 101 in the moving region.
In the current location of position self control robot 101 (promptly, when absolute coordinate) known, can adopt shirtsleeve operation to come relative distance between calculating location self control robot and the barrier, thereby but owing to the program motion algorithm makes the motion of position self control robot 101 avoiding obstacles.
Simultaneously, as in the conventional art, the present invention also can adopt the telemetry coordinate system to come the cognitive disorders thing and reset travel path, and can adopt vision.In the present invention, can adopt telemetry coordinate system compensation navigation system, but the invention is not restricted to this.
The present invention mainly is arranged to the relative coordinate of dyscalculia thing and apart from the relative distance of barrier, and comes control position self control robot 101 to follow the inbound path motion by easily obtaining absolute coordinate.
Simultaneously, with reference to figure 4, it is neighbouring to have the light of predetermined wavelength range to floor 103 emissions that light-emitting device 106 is installed in bar code reader 105, and this bar code reader 105 is installed in the bottom of the main body 102 of position self control robot 101.But the light of light-emitting device 106 emission wavelength ranges between 300nm to 850nm.
Light-emitting device 106 is set to be used for the transparent China ink (that is disappearing China ink) that is printed on the floor 110 is developed.104 pairs of bore holes of 2D bar code of printing with the following transparent China ink that will describe in detail are sightless, and only have ability Show Color under the light of predetermined wavelength range.Therefore, preferably using light-emitting device 106 to make 2D bar code 104 use bar code reader 105 to read 2D bar code 104 after visible to 2D bar code 104 irradiates lights.
Simultaneously, flooring material 110 comprises 2D bar code 104.According to first embodiment of the invention, in the flooring material shown in Fig. 7 A 110, on the back side of first sheet material of making by transparent material 111, a plurality of 2D bar codes 104 that have different unique coordinate values are respectively arranged with reverse printing of predetermined space with predetermined area.
In addition, when being attached to protective layer 114 on the adhesive layer 111a, can use first sheet material 111 immediately easily by removing this protective layer 114 simply temporarily.
For example, when on first sheet material 111 that is of a size of 180 * 180cm in length and width with the interval of 30cm when all directions are printed 2D bar codes 104, print six 2D bar codes 104 along each length direction and width.2D bar code 104 for example can have (0,0), (0,1), (0,2), (0,3), (0,4), (0,5), (1,0), (1,1) ..., the positional information of (5,4), (5,5).When being adhered to second sheet material 112 on the flooring material 110, and on the surface that 2D bar code 104 is directly printed to flooring material 110 according to the 3rd embodiment the time, also can adopt such layout and design in an identical manner according to second embodiment.
Each 2D bar code 104 all has unique positional information.A plurality of 2D bar codes 104 have different positional informations.When position self control robot 101 moves on 2D bar code 104 2D bar code 104 is scanned, obtain unique positional information, and in the moving region, keep or change current location, travel path, the direction of motion, movement velocity etc. based on the positional information of obtaining.
Adhesive layer 111a is formed on to print to be had on the surface of 2D bar code 104, thereby first sheet material 111 can be bonded on the flooring material 110, shown in Fig. 7 C.
Here, because first sheet material 111 is transparent, see 2D bar code 104 on the back side that oppositely prints to first sheet material 111 so can pass the surface in the normal position.Preferably, adopt visible color China ink of bore hole or sightless disappearing or transparent China ink that 2D bar code 104 is printed on first sheet material 111.
When using visible color China ink to print 2D bar code 104, may damage the aesthetic appearances of flooring material 110 with inherent pattern and texture.Therefore, preferably adopt invisible disappearing or transparent China ink to print 2D bar code 104.Can choose at random China ink by manufacturer and user.
