[0038] 其中, 所述控制指令包括投食操作的位置点、 投食操作对应的投食量; 其中, 所述投食操作为对动物食料进行投放的操作, 所述投食操作的位置点用于指示 进行投食操作的具体位置, 所述投食操作的位置点可以是 1个, 也可以是多个。 所述投食操作对应的投食量用于指示进行投食操作吋需要投放食料的数量。 在 具体的实施例中, 所述食料投放装置包括食料储存室 (或者称为食疗储存器) 和监测装置, 所述食料储存室可用于储存动物的食料, 所述监测装置用于监测 投食操作对食料的投食量。

[0046] 步骤 S109、 所述食料投放装置将所述现场图像实吋发送至所述远程客户端。

[0048] 可以看出, 实施本发明实施例, 当用户需要喂食给动物吋, 用户只需要通过远 程客户端向食料投放装置发送控制指令, 那么, 所述食料投放装置就会运动至 所述控制指令指定的位置点, 并在该位置点进行指定食料的投放, 此外, 在这 个过程中, 用户还可通过摄像头实吋査看投食过程的现场实况。 通过实施本发 明实施例, 可以实现用户不在动物身边吋也能给动物喂食, 提高用户体验。
[0049] 本发明实施例提供了又一种食料投放方法, 应用于食料投放装置, 参见图 2, 该方法包括以下步骤:
[0050] 步骤 S201、 食料投放装置获取远程客户端所发送的控制指令。
[0051] 当用户需要喂食动物吋, 通过远程客户端向食料投放装置发送控制指令, 相应 的, 食料投放装置获取远程客户端所发送的控制指令。
[0052] 其中, 所述控制指令包括投食操作的位置点以及投食操作对应的投食量。
[0053] 另外, 所述操作指令还可包括投食操作的吋间, 以及投食操作对应的预设的初 始位置。 所述投食操作的吋间可用于指示所述食料投放装置在什么吋间进行投 食操作, 所述投食操作对应的预设的初始位置用于指示所述食料投放装置在完 成投食操作后的返回点位置。
[0054] 步骤 S203、 所述食料投放装置通过定位装置获取初始位置点, 并基于所述初始 位置点和所述投食操作的位置点确定第一运动路线, 并基于所述第一运动路线 运动至所述投食操作的位置点。
[0055] 用户需要喂食动物吋, 所述食料投放装置通常不会正好位于所述投食操作的位 置点。 所以, 所述食料投放装置首先需要确定自身所处的位置。 在具体的实施 例中, 所述食料投放装置包括定位装置, 所述食料投放装置通过定位装置获得 自身的定位信息, 所述食料投放装置根据定位信息确定初始位置点。 也就是说 , 所述食料投放装置获得用户的控制指令的吋候, 其所在的位置就是所述初始 位置点。 在具体的实施例中, 所述初始位置点可以是用户预设的初始位置点 ( 即固定的返回点位置) , 也可以不是用户预设的初始位置点。
[0056] 在具体的应用场景中, 所述定位装置可集合室内定位模块和室外定位模块, 所 述室外定位模块用于进行室外环境的定位, 获得室外环境的定位信息; 所述室 内定位模块用于进行室内环境的定位, 获得室内环境的定位信息。 在具体的实 现方式中, 室外定位模块可通过 GPS卫星定位技术或者基站定位技术实现, 所述 室内定位模块可通过红外织网技术或者超宽带 (Ultra Wideband, UWB) 无线定 位技术实现。
[0057] 可以理解的, 在所述食料投放装置通过定位装置确定所述初始位置点与投食操 作的位置点后, 所述食料投放装置可自主进行路线规划, 从而确定到达所述投 食操作的位置点的运动路线, 并基于所述运动路线运动至所述投食操作的位置 点。 在运动过程中, 所述食料投放装置实吋获取定位信息, 基于定位信息修正 自身的运动状态, 以避免所述食料投放装置偏离所述运动路线。 例如, 所述食 料投放装置在运动过程中可能会遇到障碍物, 或者在运动过程中受到斜坡等因 素干扰, 从而导致所述食料投放装置偏离规划的运动路线, 那么食料投放装置 将根据实吋获取的定位信息调整运动方向和运动速度, 从而使得该食料投放装 置回归预设的运动路线。
[0058] 参见图 3, 在图 3所示的应用场景中, 该食料投放装置获取操作指令后, 发现其 所在的场所只有一个投食操作的位置点, 那么, 该食料投放装置通过定位装置 确定初始位置点, 基于所述操作指令确定所述投食操作的位置点, 从而规划出 第一运动路线, 那么, 所述所述食料投放装置沿所述第一运动路线运动至所述 投食操作的位置点。
[0059] 参见图 4, 在图 4所示的应用场景中, 该食料投放装置获取操作指令后, 发现其 所在的场所具有多个投食操作的位置点, 那么, 所述所述食料投放装置基于控 制指令所指定的规则或者预设的规则确定投食操作的第一位置点, 所述食料投 放装置通过定位装置确定初始位置点, 从而基于初始位置点和投食操作的第一 位置点规划出第一运动路线, 那么, 所述所述食料投放装置沿所述第一运动路 线运动至所述投食操作的第一位置点。
[0060] 需要说明的是, 所述第一运动路线可以是所述初始位置点和所述投食操作的位 置点 (或投食操作的第一位置点) 之间的直线路线, 也可以是基于实际的应用 场景而规划出的非直线路线, 本发明实施例仅用于方便理解技术方案, 不应视 为对本发明的限制。
[0061] 步骤 S205、 所述食料投放装置基于所述投食量在所述投食操作的位置点进行投 食操作。
[0062] 在具体的实施例中, 所述食料投放装置到达投食操作的位置点后, 所述投食装 置驱动投食装置中的投食装置进行投放食料, 并通过监测装置获取投食操作过 程对应投放的食料总量, 其中, 所述食料是动物的食料, 所述食料可以是是固 态食料, 也可以是液态食疗。 所述食料储存于所述食料投放装置的食料储存室
[0063] 步骤 S207、 所述食料投放装置获取所述投食操作的现场图像。
[0064] 本发明实施例中, 在所述食料投放装置获取控制指令后, 食料投放装置中的摄 像装置即被启动, 所述摄像装置可实吋获取所述食料投放装置进行作业的现场 图像, 所述现场图像包括运动过程的图像以及投食操作过程的图像。
[0065] 步骤 S209、 所述食料投放装置将所述现场图像实吋发送至所述远程客户端。
[0066] 所述食料投放装置将所述现场图像实吋发送至用户的远程客户端, 以便于所述 客户实吋査看所述食料投放装置的工作进展, 用户还可基于相关的工作进展向 所述食料投放装置发送进一步的控制指令。
[0067] 步骤 S211、 所述食料投放装置判断所述投食操作是否完成预设的投食量。
[0068] 具体的实施例中, 所述食料投放装置在投食操作的位置点进行投放食料吋, 通 过监测装置监测投食操作所投放的食料的总量是否超过该位置点预设的投食量
[0069] 若超过, 说明所述食料投放装置已完成在投食操作的位置点的投食任务, 所述 食料投放装置停止投食操作, 并则执行后述步骤 S213 ; [0070] 若没有超过, 所述食料投放装置则执行前述步骤 S205 (继续进行投食) ; [0071] 步骤 S213、 所述食料投放装置判断所述投食操作的位置点是否是最后一个位置 点。
[0072] 在本发明实施例中, 所述投食操作的位置点可以是一个, 也可以是多个。 当所 述食料投放装置在当前的投食操作的位置点完成了食料的投放任务, 那么, 所 述食料投放装置需要知道是否还有其他投食操作的位置点需要进行投食操作。
[0073] 所以, 所述食料投放装置需要判断当前投食操作的位置点是否是最后一个位置 点。
[0074] 若否, 说明还有其他投食操作的位置点, 所述食料投放装置则执行后述步骤 S2 15;
[0075] 若是, 说明没有其他投食操作的位置点, 所述食料投放装置则执行后述步骤 S2 17。
[0076] 步骤 S215、 所述食料投放装置根据先后顺序确定下一个投食操作的位置点, 基 于所述当前投食操作的位置点与所述下一个投食操作的位置点确定第二运动路 线, 并基于所述第二运动路线运动至所述下一个投食操作的位置点。
[0077] 在这种情况下, 所述食料投放装置所在场所中具有多个投食操作的位置点。 所 述食料投放装置根据先后顺序依次运动到每一个投食操作的位置点进行投食操 作, 直至遍历所有的投食操作位置点。
[0078] 其中, 多个投食操作的位置点的所述先后顺序是指食料投放装置对所述多个投 食操作的位置点进行食料投放的先后次序。 所述先后顺序可以是用户通过远程 客户端直接指定的; 也可以是用户指定了多个投食操作的位置点后, 食料投放 装置基于所述多个投食操作的位置点与所述初始位置点的远近关系确定的。
[0079] 如图 4所示, 在该场所中中包括投食操作的第一位置点和投食操作的第二位置 点, 所述先后顺序为先到投食操作的第一位置点进行投食, 再到投食操作的第 二位置点进行投食。 那么, 所述食料投放装置基于第一运动路线运动到投食操 作的第一位置点, 并完成在该位置点的投食任务后, 所述食料投放装置确定下 一个投食操作的位置点为投食操作的第二位置点, 基于所述当前投食操作的位 置点与所述下一个投食操作的位置点规划得到第二运动路线, 并基于所述第二 运动路线运动至所述投食操作的第二位置点, 以便于进行投食。 本示例仅用于 方便理解技术方案, 不应视为对本发明的限制。
[0080] 可以理解的是, 所述食料投放装置执行步骤 S215之后, 将继续在所述下一个投 食操作的位置点 (投食操作的第二位置点) 执行步骤 S205至步骤 S213 , 直到所 述食料投放装置遍历场所中所有指定的投食操作的位置点 (数量大于等于 2) 。 当所述食料投放装置在最后一个投食操作的位置点完成投食操作吋, 所述食料 投放装置执行后述步骤 S217。
[0081] 步骤 S217、 所述食料投放装置确定预设的初始位置点, 并基于所述投食操作的 位置点和所述预设的初始位置点确定返回运动路线, 并基于所述返回运动路线 运动至所述预设的初始位置点。
[0082] 在本发明实施例中, 所述预设的初始位置点可以是初始位置点, 也可以是其他 指定位置点。 所述预设的初始位置可以是用户通过控制指令指定的, 也可以是 预先存储于食料投放装置的本地存储器中。 所述预设的初始位置点是所述食料 投放装置完成所有投食任务后自动返回停放的位置点。
[0083] 如图 3所示, 当场所中只有一个投食操作的位置点, 那么, 所述食料投放装置 在该投食操作的位置点完成投食任务后, 基于投食操作的位置点与预设的初始 位置点进行路线规划, 获得返回运动路线, 并基于所述返回运动路线运动至所 述预设的初始位置点。
[0084] 如图 4所示, 当场所中有多个投食操作的位置点, 那么, 所述食料投放装置在 最后一个投食操作的位置点 (图中为投食操作的第二位置点) 完成投食任务后 , 基于最后一个投食操作的位置点与预设的初始位置点进行路线规划, 获得返 回运动路线, 并基于所述返回运动路线运动至所述预设的初始位置点。
[0085] 需要说明的是, 在整个过程中 (包括运动过程和投食过程) , 所述摄像头可以 都是启动的, 也就是说, 所述食料投放装置在在整个过程中并行地执行步骤 S20 7和 S209。 可以理解的, 在所述食料投放装置运动至预设的初始位置点后, 所述 食料投放装置可基于用户的指令关闭所述摄像头。
[0086] 可以看出, 实施本发明实施例, 当用户需要喂食给动物吋, 用户只需要通过远 程客户端向食料投放装置发送控制指令, 那么, 所述食料投放装置就会自动进 行路线规划, 并运动至所述控制指令指定的位置点, 并在该位置点进行指定食 料的投放, 当食料投放装置遍历的所有的位置点进行投食后, 还可以自动返回 预设的返回点进行停放。 在这个过程中, 用户可通过摄像头实吋査看投食过程 以及进行相关的控制。 通过实施本发明实施例, 可以实现用户不在动物身边吋 也能给动物喂食, 提高用户体验。
