具体实施方式
在下面的描述中阐述了很多具体细节以便于充分理解本公开。但是本公开能够以很多不同于在此描述的其它方式来实施，本领域技术人员可以在不违背本公开内涵的情况下做类似推广，因此本公开不受下面公开的具体实施的限制。
在本公开一个或多个实施例中使用的术语是仅仅出于描述特定实施例的目的，而非旨在限制本公开一个或多个实施例。在本公开一个或多个实施例和所附权利要求书中所使用的单数形式的“一种”、“所述”和“该”也旨在包括多数形式，除非上下文清楚地表示其他含义。还应当理解，本公开一个或多个实施例中使用的术语“和/或”是指并包含一个或多个相关联的列出项目的任何或所有可能组合。
应当理解，尽管在本公开一个或多个实施例中可能采用术语第一、第二等来描述各种信息，但这些信息不应限于这些术语。这些术语仅用来将同一类型的信息彼此区分开。例如，在不脱离本公开一个或多个实施例范围的情况下，第一也可以被称为第二，类似地，第二也可以被称为第一。取决于语境，如在此所使用的词语“如果”可以被解释成为“在……时”或“当……时”或“响应于确定”。
首先，对本公开实施例中涉及的名词术语进行解释。
自主移动机器人(Automated Guided Vehicle，AGV)：其显著的特点是无人驾驶，AGV上装备有自动导向系统，该自动导向系统能够确保AGV在不需要人工引航的情况下，沿预定的路线自动行驶，并将货物或物料从起始点运送到目的地。
随着电子商务的快速发展，用户订单数量呈几何倍数增长，仓储系统需要存储海量的物品，如何高效地对这些物品进行拣选，成为提高仓储效率的关键。
在仓储系统中，通常由人工手动操作完成物品拣选。例如，人工收取任务之后，寻找待拣选物品以及搬运或停靠的地点，并前往搬运或停靠的地点对待拣选物品进行搬运。但是，人工手动操作完成物品拣选会耗费大量时间、消耗大量人力，导致拣选和搬运的效率较低。
为了提升搬运效率，还可以使用自动运输设备协助人工进行搬运工作。例如，人工向自 动运输设备发送待拣选物品，以及搬运或停靠的地点，由自动运输设备前往搬运或停靠的地点对待拣选物品进行搬运。但使用自动运输设备协助人工进行搬运时，仍然需要耗费人力，因此，亟需一种高效的任务执行方案。
本公开一些实施例提供一种任务执行系统，通过远端服务器向空闲运输设备发送任务信息，根据任务信息进行任务对应的容器的绑定工作，建立任务与容器之间的关联关系，从而打通信息流，更合理地安排空闲运输设备的任务，实现自动、高效、合理地执行任务。
图1为根据本公开一些实施例提供的一种任务执行系统的框架图。如图1所示，任务执行系统包括服务端102和运输设备端104，运输设备端104包括多个运输设备，如运输设备1042、运输设备1044、运输设备1046。本公开实施例对于运输设备端包括的运输设备的数量和类型不作限定，图1以运输设备端包括三个运输设备为例进行示例性示意。实际应用中，根据不同客户的现场情况，运输设备端包括的运输设备的数量可以不同。
服务端102确定多个待拣选任务和目标空闲运输设备；根据目标空闲运输设备的设备信息，从多个待拣选任务中确定至少一个目标任务；根据至少一个目标任务的任务属性信息，确定推荐容器类型；获取目标容器的容器信息，其中，目标容器为从推荐容器类型对应的多个容器中选择得到的容器；将容器信息与至少一个目标任务进行绑定，并基于绑定信息，调度目标空闲运输设备运输目标容器，以执行至少一个目标任务。
示例性地，服务端102可以为控制装置，该控制装置可以部署在远端服务器或终端设备上。服务端102可以部署仓储管理系统(Warehouse Management System，WMS)和机器人管理系统(Robot Management System，RMS)。服务端102通过WMS可以对待拣选任务、货物、载具、容器等进行管理，通过RMS可以对运输设备(如，机器人)进行管理。
目标空闲运输设备为运输设备端104包括的多个运输设备中处于空闲状态的运输设备，或者，具有可用运输空间的运输设备。例如，如图1所示，运输设备端104包括的三个运输设备中，处于空闲状态的运输设备为运输设备1046，故可以将运输设备1046确定为目标空闲运输设备。
示例性地，运输设备可以为搬运机器人，该搬运机器人用于搬运存储货物的容器。运输设备搬运的容器可以是货箱、托盘等容器，本公开实施例对此不作限定。
本公开一些实施例提供的任务执行系统，通过服务端从多个待拣选任务中确定至少一个目标任务，利用目标空闲运输设备执行目标任务，使得一个目标空闲运输设备可以同时执行至少一个目标任务，提高了目标空闲运输设备执行任务的效率。并且，将容器信息和至少一个目标任务进行绑定，后续可以基于绑定信息直接执行任务，进一步提高了任务执行的效率。
图2为根据本公开一些实施例提供的一种任务执行方法的流程图，如图2所示，该方法包括以下步骤：
步骤202：确定多个待拣选任务和目标空闲运输设备。
在一些实施例中，为了更加合理的处理待拣选任务，可以先获取多个待拣选任务以及目标空闲运输设备，并从多个待拣选任务中确定目标空闲运输设备需要执行的目标任务。
示例性地，待拣选任务是指需要将物品从货架的货位上拣选至运输设备上的任务，该待拣选任务可以是仓储物流、工厂搬运、酒店或餐厅搬运等多种场景下的任务，本公开实施例对于待拣选任务的应用场景不作限定。运输设备也可以称为搬运设备，包括但不限于运输小车、自主移动机器人、自动顶升式的与货架分离的运输设备等，根据实际应用场景可以选择不同类型的运输设备，本公开实施例对运输设备的类型不作限定。
在一些实施例中，空闲运输设备包括完全空闲运输设备和部分空闲运输设备，完全空闲 运输设备是指当前无任务的运输设备。部分空闲运输设备是指已经分配任务但还未执行任务的运输设备，且该运输设备存在空闲运输空间。
在一些示例中，目标空闲运输设备可以为未搬运载具或未执行任务的空闲机器人，也可以为搬运载具的机器人。目标空闲运输设备搬运的载具可以为可移动货架(简称货架)、也可以为托盘等载具，本公开实施例对此不作限定，下述实施例以目标空闲运输设备搬运的载具为货架为例进行示例性说明。目标空闲运输设备搬运的载具可以为目标空闲运输设备的一部分，也可以为独立于运输设备的载具(例如，可移动货架)。
当目标空闲运输设备为搬运货架的机器人时，该目标空闲运输设备搬运的货架可以为未放置容器的空货架，也可以为已放置部分容器的货架。例如，以货架上各货位放置的容器为料箱为例，机器人在执行拣选任务的过程中，机器人搬运的货架上的部分货位上的料箱可能会被卸箱，为了提升拣选效率，可将机器人1搬运的货架上的空闲货位与其他待拣选任务进行绑定，以对机器人1上的空闲货位进行绑箱操作。
在一些实施例中，可以通过仓储管理系统(Warehouse Management System，WMS)获取多个待拣选任务，通过机器人管理系统(Robot Management System，RMS)获取目标空闲运输设备；在另一些实施例中，也可以接收用户导入的多个待拣选任务和目标空闲运输设备。本公开实施例对于确定多个待拣选任务和目标空闲运输设备的实现方式不作限定，实际应用中，也可以通过其他方式确定多个待拣选任务和目标空闲运输设备。
示例性地，WMS与RMS之间可以建立传输接口，WMS可以通过RMS获取目标空闲运输设备。WMS通过RMS获取目标空闲运输设备之前，可以先判断是否与RMS之间建立传输接口，在没有建立传输接口的情况下，可以选择构建传输接口或者通过其他方式确定目标空闲运输设备。
步骤204：根据目标空闲运输设备的设备信息，从多个待拣选任务中确定至少一个目标任务。
在一些实施例中，在确定多个待拣选任务和目标空闲运输设备之后，还可以根据目标空闲运输设备的设备信息，从多个待拣选任务中确定至少一个目标任务。该至少一个目标任务为目标空闲运输设备需要执行的任务。
示例性地，目标空闲运输设备的设备信息包括但不限于目标空闲运输设备的设备运输空间、设备编号、分配任务情况、当前位置、移动方向等。本公开实施例对于目标空闲运输设备的设备信息包括的信息类型不作限定，可根据实际情况进行选择。
在一些实施例中，以设备信息包括设备运输空间为例，可以根据目标空闲运输设备的设备运输空间，从多个待拣选任务中确定符合该设备运输空间的至少一个目标任务。示例性地，上述步骤204包括：获取目标空闲运输设备的设备运输空间；根据设备运输空间，从多个待拣选任务中确定至少一个目标任务。
在一些示例中，获取目标空闲运输设备的设备运输空间的方式有多种。例如，可以从预先存储的目标空闲运输设备的配置信息中查询设备运输空间。再例如，也可以向运输设备端发送目标空闲运输设备的设备运输空间获取指令，接收运输设备端反馈的设备运输空间。本公开实施例对于获取目标空闲运输设备的设备运输空间的方式不作限定。
示例性地，目标空闲运输设备的设备运输空间是目标空闲运输设备的可用运输空间，也可称为空闲运输空间。在获取目标空闲运输设备的设备运输空间之后，可以将各待拣选任务对应的物品所占用的空间大小与目标空闲运输设备的设备运输空间进行匹配，从多个待拣选任务中确定至少一个目标任务，该至少一个目标任务占用的空间大小小于或等于设备运输空间。
在一些实施例中，目标空闲运输设备的设备运输空间可以包括目标空闲运输设备的可用运输的空间大小，也可以包括目标空闲运输设备可运输的货位数量和/或货位尺寸。
例如，以多个待拣选任务包括三个待拣选任务，这三个待拣选任务分别为待拣选任务A、待拣选任务B以及待拣选任务C为例。若待拣选任务A对应的物品A所占用的空间大小为80cm*80cm*80cm、待拣选任务B对应的物品B所占用的空间大小为15cm*15cm*15cm、待拣选任务C对应的物品C所占用的空间大小为20cm*20cm*20cm，目标空闲运输设备的设备运输空间为50cm*50cm*50cm。由于物品B和物品C共同占用的空间大小小于目标空闲运输设备的设备运输空间，而物品A、物品B以及物品C共同占用的空间大小大于目标空闲运输设备的设备运输空间。因此，目标空闲运输设备对应的目标任务为待拣选任务B和待拣选任务C。
再例如，以多个待拣选任务包括待拣选任务D、待拣选任务E和待拣选任务F，待拣选任务D需5个货位、待拣选任务E需8个货位、待拣选任务F需10个货位为例。若目标空闲运输设备运输的货架包括5个空闲货位，由于待拣选任务D所需的货位数量等于目标空闲运输设备运输的货架上空闲货位的数量，因此可以将待拣选任务D确定为目标空闲运输设备待执行的目标任务。
应用本公开实施例的方案，由于目标空闲运输设备所能执行的任务受限于设备运输空间，因此获取目标空闲运输设备的设备运输空间，根据设备运输空间，从多个待拣选任务中确定目标空闲运输设备待执行的至少一个目标任务，使得目标任务符合目标空闲运输设备的运输要求，任务的分配更为合理。
本公开一些实施例中，在根据设备运输空间，从多个待拣选任务中确定至少一个目标任务的基础上，还可以考虑待拣选任务之间的相似度，将相似度高的待拣选任务优先分配给目标空闲运输设备。即，上述根据设备运输空间，从多个待拣选任务中确定至少一个目标任务的步骤，可以包括：获取多个待拣选任务的任务属性信息，其中，任务属性信息包括任务优先级、物品属性信息、任务动线信息中的至少一种；根据任务属性信息，确定多个待拣选任务之间的相似度；根据设备运输空间和相似度，从多个待拣选任务中确定至少一个目标任务。
示例性地，任务优先级可以为任务的紧急级别，如紧急、一般。物品属性信息是指任务对应的待拣选物品的属性信息，包括但不限于物品的类型、体积、材质、重量等等。任务动线信息是指运输设备执行任务时的行驶路线。多个待拣选任务之间的相似度是指各拣选任务的任务属性信息之间的相似度，即任务优先级、物品属性信息以及任务动线信息之间的相似度。确定多个待拣选任务之间的相似度时，若两个待拣选任务之间的任务优先级、物品属性信息、任务动线信息均相同，则这两个待拣选任务的相似度为1。
例如，若待拣选任务A和待拣选任务B之间的任务优先级相同，任务动线信息也相同，待拣选任务A的物品属性信息A为毛衣，待拣选任务B的物品属性信息B为针织衫，则可以确定待拣选任务A和待拣选任务B之间的相似度为0.9。
在一些示例中，可以从预先存储的任务属性信息集中查询获取多个待拣选任务中各待拣选任务的任务属性信息；也可以向仓储管理系统发送任务属性信息获取指令，接收仓储管理系统反馈的多个待拣选任务中各待拣选任务的任务属性信息。本公开实施例对任务属性信息的获取方式不作限定，实际应用中，也可以通过其他方式获取多个待拣选任务的任务属性信息。
需要说明的是，在获取多个待拣选任务的任务属性信息之后，可以根据各待拣选任务的任务属性信息，确定多个待拣选任务之间的相似度。并按照相似度大小对多个待拣选任务进行排序，基于排序结果，优先判断相似度高的多个待拣选任务是否符合设备运输空间，从而 从多个待拣选任务中确定目标空闲运输设备待执行的至少一个目标任务。
本公开一些实施例提供的方案，通过根据任务属性信息确定多个待拣选任务之间的相似度，并根据设备运输空间和相似度，从多个待拣选任务中确定至少一个目标任务，使得目标空闲运输设备同时执行的多个待拣选任务之间相似度较高，节省了目标空闲运输设备完成任务的时间，提高了任务执行的效率。
在一些实施例中，在根据设备运输空间，从多个待拣选任务中确定至少一个目标任务的基础上，还可以判断目标空闲运输设备是否已经分配任务，在目标空闲运输设备已分配任务的情况下，根据已分配任务的任务属性信息和多个待拣选任务的任务属性信息，从多个待拣选任务中确定至少一个目标任务。
示例性地，上述根据设备运输空间，从多个待拣选任务中确定至少一个目标任务，可以包括：获取多个待拣选任务的任务属性信息，其中，任务属性信息包括任务优先级、物品属性信息、任务动线信息中的至少一种；在目标空闲运输设备已分配任务的情况下，根据已分配任务的任务属性信息和多个待拣选任务的任务属性信息，确定已分配任务与多个待拣选任务之间的关联度；根据设备运输空间和关联度，从多个待拣选任务中确定至少一个目标任务。
在一些示例中，若目标空闲运输设备并未分配任务，则可以根据任务属性信息，确定多个待拣选任务之间的相似度，根据设备运输空间和相似度，从多个待拣选任务中确定至少一个目标任务。
在另一些示例中，若目标空闲运输设备已分配任务，表示该目标空闲运输设备已经有了等待执行的任务，因此，可以根据任务优先级、物品属性信息、任务动线信息中至少一种信息，确定各待拣选任务与已分配任务的关联度。然后，根据关联度和设备运输空间，从多个待拣选任务中确定至少一个目标任务。
示例性地，根据关联度和设备运输空间，从多个待拣选任务中确定至少一个目标任务，可以包括：按照已分配任务与多个待拣选任务之间的关联度高低，对多个待拣选任务进行排序；基于多个待拣选任务的排序顺序，将符合设备运输空间的至少一个待拣选任务确定为至少一个目标任务。
在一些示例性，按照已分配任务与多个待拣选任务之间的关联度高度，对多个待拣选任务进行排序时，可以按照关联度从高到低的顺序对多个待拣选任务进行排序，也可以按照关联度从低到高的顺序对多个待拣选任务进行排序，本公开实施例对此不作限定。需要说明的是，不管按照哪种方式进行排序，都会优先确定关联度高的待拣选任务是否符合设备运输空间。
例如，在确定已分配任务与多个待拣选任务之间的关联度后，可以按照关联度从大到小(也可以称为从高到低)对多个待拣选任务进行排序，基于排序结果，优先判断关联度高的待拣选任务是否符合设备运输空间，从而从多个待拣选任务中确定符合设备运输空间的至少一个目标任务。
示例性地，关联度是指已分配任务的任务属性信息和多个待拣选任务的任务属性信息之间的关联度。例如，已分配任务的任务优先级、物品属性信息和任务动线信息与各待拣选任务的任务优先级、物品属性信息和任务动线信息之间的关联度。若已分配任务的任务优先级、物品属性信息和任务动线信息与某一待拣选任务的任务优先级、物品属性信息和任务动线信息均相同，则关联度为1。
例如，若已分配任务Y的任务优先级为紧急、物品属性信息为毛衣、任务动线信息为a；待拣选任务A的任务优先级为紧急、物品属性信息为针织衫、任务动线信息为a；待拣选任 务B的任务优先级为紧急、物品属性信息为橘子、任务动线信息为m。可以确定已分配任务Y与待拣选任务A之间的关联度为0.9，已分配任务Y与待拣选任务B之间的关联度为0.3。
示例性地，在根据设备运输空间和关联度，从多个待拣选任务中确定至少一个目标任务时，需要考虑已分配任务占设备运输空间的大小。也就是说，目标任务所占用的空间大小加上已分配任务所占用的空间大小应该小于或等于设备运输空间。
本公开一些实施例提供的方案，通过在目标空闲运输设备已分配任务的情况下，根据已分配任务的任务属性信息和多个待拣选任务的任务属性信息，确定已分配任务与多个待拣选任务之间的关联度；根据设备运输空间和关联度，从多个待拣选任务中确定至少一个目标任务。如此一来，使得目标空闲运输设备同时执行的与已分配任务关联度较高的目标任务，节省了目标空闲运输设备完成任务的时间，提高了任务执行的效率。
可以理解的，上述步骤204确定目标空闲运输设备待执行的至少一个目标任务，也可以认为是确定目标空闲运输设备运输的载具上的各空闲货位对应的目标任务。即通过步骤204可以将目标空闲运输设备运输的载具上的各空闲货位与目标任务进行绑定。
步骤206：根据至少一个目标任务的任务属性信息，确定推荐容器类型。
在一些实施例中，确定多个待拣选任务和目标空闲运输设备，根据目标空闲运输设备的设备信息，从多个待拣选任务中确定至少一个目标任务之后，可以根据至少一个目标任务的任务属性信息，确定推荐容器类型。示例性地，推荐容器类型也可以称为指定容器类型。
示例性地，容器是指用于存储物品的结构，包括但不限于存储物品的单个货箱、中间带隔板的多层货箱、周转箱、纸箱、托盘等等。容器类型可以根据容器的大小分类，如大号容器、中号容器，以及小号容器；也可以按照容器的材质分类，如保温容器、防撞容器等等。
实际应用中，根据至少一个目标任务的任务属性信息，确定目标任务对应的推荐容器类型的方式有多种，本公开一些实施例中，可以获取预设容器类型，在预设容器类型中查找目标任务的任务属性信息对应的目标容器类型，并将该目标容器类型确定为推荐容器类型。例如，目标任务的任务属性信息为“易碎”，则根据任务属性信息“易碎”，查找“易碎”对应的推荐容器类型为“防撞容器”。
本公开另一些实施例中，还可以利用预设关系集，确定推荐容器类型。示例性地，上述根据至少一个目标任务的任务属性信息，确定推荐容器类型，可以包括：获取预设关系集，其中，预设关系集包括多个预设任务和多个预设任务对应的预设容器类型；根据目标任务的任务属性信息，在预设关系集中，查找与目标任务匹配的目标预设任务；将目标预设任务对应的预设容器类型作为目标任务对应的推荐容器类型。
实际应用中，由于预设关系集中包括的预设任务携带了预设任务属性信息，因此，可以对比目标任务的任务属性信息与预设任务属性信息，确定与目标任务的任务属性信息相同的预设任务属性信息，并将该预设任务属性信息对应的预设任务作为与目标任务匹配的目标预设任务。
需要说明的是，由于任务属性信息包括多种，如任务优先级、物品属性信息、任务动线信息等，因此，在预设关系集中，查找与目标任务匹配的目标预设任务时，可以将与目标任务的多种任务属性信息都相同的预设任务作为与目标任务匹配的目标预设任务。
本公开一些实施例提供的方案，通过根据目标任务的任务属性信息，在预设关系集中，查找与目标任务匹配的目标预设任务，将目标预设任务对应的预设容器类型作为目标任务对应的推荐容器类型，使得确定的容器更加适合目标任务，提高了推荐容器类型的准确性。
可以理解的，通过上述步骤206可以根据目标空闲运输设备运输的载具上的各空闲货位 对应的目标任务的任务属性信息，确定各空闲货位对应的推荐容器类型。
步骤208：获取目标容器的容器信息，其中，目标容器为从推荐容器类型对应的多个容器中选择得到的容器。
在一些实施例中，确定目标任务对应的推荐容器类型之后，可以从该推荐容器类型对应的多个容器中选择目标容器。例如，容器类型A对应有三个容器，分别为A1、A2、A3；容器类型B对应有两个容器，分别为B1、B2；容器类型C对应有四个容器，分别为C1、C2、C3，C4。若确定目标容器对应的推荐容器类型为容器类型C，则从C1、C2、C3，C4中选择C3作为目标容器。
本公开实施例中，从推荐容器类型对应的多个容器中选择得到目标容器之后，进一步可以获取目标容器的容器信息。
示例性地，目标容器的容器信息是指可以唯一标识目标容器的信息，如目标容器的唯一编码。本公开实施例对于目标容器的容器信息的类型不作限定，该容器信息的类型可以根据实际情况进行选择。
示例性地，获取目标容器的容器信息的方式有多种。例如，可以向操作人员发送容器信息获取指令，接收操作人员反馈的容器信息。再例如，可以利用扫描设备获取目标容器的容器信息。例如，以利用扫描设备获取目标容器的容器信息为例，上述获取目标容器的容器信息，可以包括：接收扫描设备对目标容器进行扫描获取的容器信息。
目标容器上通常都有容器标识码，因此，可以通过扫描设备对目标容器上的容器标识码进行扫描，获取目标容器的容器信息。示例性地，容器标识码可以是射频标签(RFID，Radio Frequency Identification)，扫描设备可以是射频标签读取器，本公开实施例中，扫描设备可以位于目标空闲运输设备上，还可以是分离式扫描设备(如操作人员手持的扫描设备或设置在容器绑定点位的扫描设备)，扫描设备和容器标识码的类型可根据实际情况进行选择，本公开实施例对此不作限定。
在一些示例中，在确定推荐容器类型后，当目标空闲运输设备移动至容器绑定点位时，可以向容器绑定点位的电子设备发送该推荐容器类型，也可以在目标空闲运输设备上显示该推荐容器类型，从而位于容器绑定点位的操作人员可以根据推荐容器类型选择目标容器，并通过扫描设备扫描该目标容器，以获取目标容器的容器信息。选择目标容器后可以由容器操作人员或者容器搬运设备将目标容器放置于目标空闲运输设备上。例如，操作人员根据空闲货位1对应的推荐容器类型选择目标容器后，可以将该目标容器放置在空闲货位1上，并通过扫描设备扫描该目标容器，得到目标容器的容器信息。
在另一些示例中，在确定推荐容器类型后，当目标空闲运输设备移动至容器绑定点位时，位于容器绑定点位的操作人员可以选择任意一个容器，并扫描该容器的容器信息。然后，WMS根据各空闲货位对应的推荐容器类型和该容器的容器信息提示操作人员该容器的待放置空闲货位，操作人员根据提示将该容器放置在对应的空闲货位上。
应用本公开实施例的方案，通过扫描设备对目标容器进行扫描获取容器信息，提高了获取目标容器信息的效率。
步骤210：将容器信息与至少一个目标任务进行绑定，并基于绑定信息，调度目标空闲运输设备运输目标容器，以执行至少一个目标任务。
在一些实施例中，将容器信息与至少一个目标任务进行绑定，是指对目标容器和至少一个目标任务建立绑定关系。由于目标空闲运输设备运输的载具上的各空闲货位对应有目标任务，因此通过将目标容器与目标任务绑定，可以得到货位、目标任务和目标容器三者之间的 对应关系。
示例性地，绑定信息用于指示目标容器和目标任务之间的绑定关系，或者，用于指示货位、目标容器和目标任务之间的绑定关系。
示例性地，上述基于绑定信息，调度目标空闲运输设备运输目标容器，以执行至少一个目标任务，可以包括：获取目标任务对应的目标货位信息，并将目标货位信息发送至目标空闲运输设备；在目标空闲运输设备移动至目标货位时，通过分拣对象，将目标任务对应的物品从目标货位上取出，并放置在目标容器中。
在一些示例中，目标货位信息是指目标货位的相关信息，包括但不限于目标货位的位置信息、货位编号信息等等，分拣对象是指可以将目标任务对应的物品从目标货位上取出，并放置在目标容器中的对象，分拣对象可以是物品分拣设备，还可以是物品分拣员。分拣对象可根据实际情况进行选择，本公开实施例对此不作限定。
例如，WMS根据目标任务确定库存区中存储该目标任务的物品所对应的目标货位信息，并通过RMS向目标空闲运输设备发送搬运指令，指示目标空闲运输设备将货架搬运至目标货位信息对应的停靠区或目标货位。由库存区的工作人员或分拣设备将目标任务对应的物品从目标货位上取出，并放置在目标容器中。
需要说明的是，目标空闲运输设备执行目标任务时，需要获取目标任务对应的目标货位信息，以使目标空闲运输设备移动至目标货位信息对应的目标货位，通过分拣对象将物品放置于目标容器中。
例如，当目标空闲运输设备移动至目标货位时，目标空闲运输设备可以显示目标货位信息和目标容器信息，从而物品分拣员可以根据目标货位信息确定物品的目标货位，将物品从目标货位上取出，并放置在目标容器中。再例如，还可以通过物品分拣设备，将目标任务对应的物品从目标货位上取出，并放置在目标容器中，其中，物品分拣设备包括货叉、拣选机器人等等。
示例性地，将物品放置在目标容器中时，可以对物品和目标容器进行校验，确保物品准确放入目标容器中。
应用本公开实施例的方案，通过从多个待拣选任务中确定至少一个目标任务，利用目标空闲运输设备执行目标任务，使得一个目标空闲运输设备可以同时执行至少一个目标任务，提高了目标空闲运输设备执行任务的效率。并且，将容器信息和至少一个目标任务进行绑定，后续可以基于绑定信息执行任务，能够进一步提高任务执行的效率。
在一些实施例中，将容器信息和至少一个目标任务进行绑定之后，还可以校验绑定是否成功。示例性地，上述将容器信息与至少一个目标任务进行绑定之后，还可以包括：校验容器信息与至少一个目标任务是否绑定成功；在未绑定成功的情况下，提示绑定失败，并返回执行将容器信息与至少一个目标任务进行绑定的步骤。
示例性地，校验容器信息与至少一个目标任务是否绑定成功，可以包括：获取已绑定信息，在已绑定信息中查找容器信息和至少一个目标任务。若已绑定信息中存在容器信息和至少一个目标任务之间的绑定信息，则表示绑定成功；若不存在，则表示绑定失败。
示例性地，校验容器信息与至少一个目标任务是否绑定成功，还可以包括：校验目标容器的类型与目标任务对应的推荐容器类型是否相同，或，校验目标容器是否合法。当目标容器的类型与目标任务对应的推荐容器类型不同，或，目标容器不合法时，确定绑定失败；当目标容器的类型与目标任务对应的推荐容器类型相同，或，目标容器合法时，确定绑定失败。
在一些示例中，在将容器信息和至少一个目标任务进行绑定之后，可以生成绑定提示信 息，该绑定提示信息用于提示是否绑定成功。该绑定提示信息可以以文本方式提示，也可以语音方式提示，本公开对此不作限定。例如，以绑定提示信息以文本方式提示为例，若绑定成功，则弹窗提示绑定成功；若并未出现弹窗，则说明绑定失败。
在一些示例中，若确定未绑定成功，则提示此次绑定失败，返回执行将容器信息与至少一个目标任务进行绑定的步骤，直至绑定成功，完成校验。
应用本公开实施例的方案，通过校验容器信息与至少一个目标任务是否绑定成功，在未绑定成功的情况下，提示绑定失败，并返回执行将容器信息与至少一个目标任务进行绑定的步骤，能够保证容器信息和至少一个目标任务之间的绑定成功，使得后续可以直接根据绑定信息完成任务执行，提高了任务执行的效率。
本公开一些实施例中，可以判断目标空闲运输设备对应的目标任务是否全部完成绑定，避免目标空闲运输设备执行到某一目标任务时，不清楚该目标任务对应的容器信息的问题。示例性地，上述将容器信息与至少一个目标任务进行绑定之后，还可以包括：判断目标空闲运输设备对应的目标任务是否全部完成绑定；在未全部完成绑定的情况下，提示未完成绑定的目标任务，并返回执行将容器信息与至少一个目标任务进行绑定的步骤。
实际应用中，判断目标空闲运输设备对应的目标任务是否全部完成绑定的方式，可以是获取已绑定信息，在已绑定信息中查找所有目标任务。若已绑定信息中存在所有目标任务的绑定信息，则表示已全部完成绑定；若已绑定信息中不存在所有目标任务的绑定信息，则表示未全部完成绑定。
示例性地，若目标空闲运输设备对应的目标任务未全部完成绑定，可以以弹窗的形式提示未完成绑定的目标任务。
应用本公开实施例的方案，判断目标空闲运输设备对应的目标任务是否全部完成绑定，在未全部完成绑定的情况下，提示未完成绑定的目标任务，并返回执行将容器信息与至少一个目标任务进行绑定的步骤，保证容器信息和至少一个目标任务之间的绑定成功，使得后续可以直接根据绑定信息完成任务执行，提高了任务执行的效率。
在一些实施例中，随着待拣选任务的执行，目标空闲运输设备上可能存在某一目标任务完成的情况，或者目标空闲运输设备仍有空闲运输空间的情况；在这种情况下，可以根据目标空闲运输设备的设备信息，从未分配的待拣选任务中筛选至少一个补充任务，追加到该目标空闲运输设备上，以最大化利用目标空闲运输设备的设备运输空间。
示例性地，上述在目标空闲运输设备移动至目标货位时，通过分拣对象，将目标任务对应的物品从目标货位上取出，并放置在目标容器中的步骤之后，还可以包括：在目标空闲运输设备有空闲运输空间的情况下，根据目标空闲运输设备的设备信息，从多个待拣选任务中筛选至少一个补充任务；调度目标空闲运输设备执行至少一个补充任务。
例如，以步骤202中的目标空闲运输设备为未执行任务的空闲机器人为例，该空闲机器人可以将空货架搬运至容器绑定点位，以在该空货架上放置对应的目标容器；然后，将每个目标容器与目标任务进行绑定，并基于绑定信息运输目标容器执行目标任务。当机器人执行完部分目标任务后，机器人搬运的货架上的目标容器可能会被卸下，从而机器人搬运的货架上会存在空闲货位(即机器人存在空闲运输空间)。为了提升待拣选任务的拣选效率，可以从待拣选任务中筛选补充任务，并调度机器人执行该补充任务。
在一些示例中，目标空闲运输设备的设备信息包括但不限于空闲运输设备的设备运输空间、当前位置、移动方向等等。补充任务的物品体积小于或等于目标空闲运输设备的空闲运输空间，并且，在筛选至少一个补充任务的过程中，可以考虑待拣选任务的任务动线、货位 位置等，优先将与目标空闲运输设备移动方向相同、货位位置距目标空闲运输设备较近的待拣选任务作为补充任务。
实际应用中，目标空闲运输设备的某一目标任务完成，或者目标空闲运输设备仍有空闲运输空间的情况下，可以从待拣选任务中筛选至少一个补充任务，由目标空闲运输设备同时执行目标任务和补充任务。示例性地，目标任务和补充任务所占用的空间可以等于目标空闲运输设备的空闲运输空间。
应用本公开实施例的方案，在目标空闲运输设备有空闲运输空间的情况下，根据目标空闲运输设备的设备信息，从多个待拣选任务中筛选至少一个补充任务，调度目标空闲运输设备执行至少一个补充任务，充分、合理地利用了目标空闲运输设备的设备运输空间，提高了多个待拣选任务的完成效率。
下述结合附图3，以本公开提供的任务执行方法应用于仓储物流领域为例，对该任务执行方法进行说明。图3为根据本公开一些实施例提供的一种应用于仓储物流领域的任务执行方法的处理流程图，如图3所示，该方法包括以下步骤：
步骤302：确定多个待拣选任务和目标空闲运输设备。
步骤304：获取目标空闲运输设备的设备运输空间。
步骤306：根据设备运输空间，从多个待拣选任务中确定至少一个目标任务。
步骤308：获取预设关系集，其中，预设关系集包括多个预设任务和多个预设任务对应的预设容器类型。
步骤310：根据目标任务的任务属性信息，在预设关系集中，查找与目标任务匹配的目标预设任务，其中，任务属性信息包括任务优先级、物品属性信息、任务动线信息中的至少一种。
步骤312：将目标预设任务对应的预设容器类型作为目标任务对应的推荐容器类型。
步骤314：接收扫描设备对目标容器进行扫描获取的容器信息，其中，目标容器为从推荐容器类型对应的多个容器中选择得到的容器。
步骤316：将容器信息与至少一个目标任务进行绑定。
步骤318：获取目标任务对应的目标货位信息，并将目标货位信息发送至目标空闲运输设备。
步骤320：在目标空闲运输设备运输目标容器至目标货位时，通过分拣对象，将目标任务对应的物品从目标货位上取出，并放置在目标容器中。
需要说明的是，步骤302-步骤320的实现方式，和上述图2所提供的任务执行方法的实现方式相同，本公开实施例对此不再进行赘述。
应用本公开实施例的方案，可以根据目标空闲运输设备的设备运输空间、可承受的容器属性信息和任务属性信息合理、准确地安排目标空闲运输设备上的目标任务，提高了任务执行的效率。并且，先确定目标任务可以更加合理的确定目标空闲运输设备所承载的目标容器，根据任务优先级，先拣选着急的任务，或者根据任务命中的区域情况，合理分配任务以及相应的容器，使得任务执行更加贴合实际场景。
图4为根据本公开一些实施例提供的一种任务执行方法中容器和任务绑定的处理流程图。
仓储管理系统生成多个待拣选任务，并判断是否通过与服务端之间的传输接口进行任务对接，也即是否通过接口对接。若是，则调用传输接口传入任务，将多个待拣选任务发送至服务端；若否，则由用户将多个待拣选任务从仓储管理系统手动导入服务端。
服务端启动接单，任务开始进行，进入任务分配流程：获取目标空闲运输设备的信息， 根据派单算法进行任务选择，即判断目标空闲运输设备是否已经分配任务；若是，则按照已分配任务的任务属性信息，在多个待拣选任务中选择与已分配任务的任务属性信息相近的至少一个目标任务；若否，则从多个待拣选任务中选择任务属性信息相近的至少一个目标任务。在确定至少一个目标任务之后，判断是否启用容器推荐；若是，确定目标任务对应的目标容器。其中，确定目标任务对应的目标容器的方式参见图2所提供的任务执行方法，在此不再进行赘述。确定目标容器之后，进入容器绑定操作流程，用户扫描目标容器的容器标识码，将目标容器的容器信息与至少一个目标任务进行绑定。在绑定完成之后，可以进行容器绑定校验，并判断校验是否通过；若否，则提示错误信息，返回扫描目标容器的容器标识码的步骤；若是，则提示目标容器对应的货位，将目标容器的容器信息与货位进行绑定，判断是否完成绑定，若否，返回扫描目标容器的容器标识码的步骤。
示例性地，服务端也可以理解为远端服务器，远端服务器可以确定多个待拣选任务，并确定参与工作的运输设备的空闲状况，从而确定空闲运输设备。并且，本公开实施例中，容器绑定点位可与容器卸载点位相同，若目标空闲运输设备的运力紧张、待拣选任务较多或者物品体积较大，还可以将目标空闲运输设备中的托盘更换为大容量的容器。
