Detailed Description

The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting of the invention. It should be further noted that, for the convenience of description, only some of the structures related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, not all of the structures.

Example one

Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for adding obstacles according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the embodiment is applicable to a case where an obstacle point in a driving process is added to a robot, and the method may be performed by an apparatus for adding obstacles. As shown in fig. 1, the method specifically includes the following steps:

and 110, collecting environmental information in a preset scanning range through radar scanning equipment arranged on a robot body.

The robot is driven by workers to walk in an actual working scene, radar scanning equipment is mounted on the robot, and the scanning range of the radar scanning equipment can be preset. When the robot is pushed to walk, the radar scanning equipment scans the surrounding environment in real time to acquire the environmental information of the radar scanning equipment in a preset scanning range. For example, the environmental information within the preset scanning range may be acquired in the form of an image.

And 120, acquiring a current position point of the robot, judging whether the current position point of the robot meets a preset radar point determination condition, if so, displaying candidate radar points to a target map at the current position of the robot, and determining and storing environmental information.

The robot is driven by the staff to walk in an actual operation place, and the current position of the robot is obtained in real time while the robot walks. A radar point determination condition is set in advance, and for example, the radar point determination condition may be that a candidate radar point is set every 5 meters. After the robot obtains the current position, whether the current position point meets the preset radar point determination condition or not can be automatically judged. If not, the robot continues to acquire a new current position point; if yes, the current position point is used as a candidate radar point to be displayed in the target map, and all the candidate radar points which are determined currently can be displayed in the target map. The target map is a workplace map of the robot, and the target map may include an automatic travel path, a radar point, an obstacle point, a stop point, and the like. The robot is provided with radar scanning equipment, and after the current position point is determined to be a candidate radar point, the acquired environmental information in the preset scanning range of the current position point is stored, so that the environmental information can be stored in the form of an image. For example, environment information within a range of 3 meters as a radius centered on the current position is acquired. The candidate radar points can be numbered, and the acquired environment information and the numbers of the candidate radar points are stored in a correlation mode, so that the environment information can be called conveniently in the follow-up process.

Step 130, responding to the obstacle point adding instruction, determining a target radar point in the candidate radar points, searching target environment information of the target radar point, and adding at least one obstacle point in the target environment information to the target map.

The environment information of any candidate radar point in the target map can be checked at any time by the staff in the process of pushing the robot to walk or after the robot walks. The staff can send out an obstacle point adding instruction on the screen of the robot, the robot responds to the obstacle point adding instruction, selects a target radar point from the candidate radar points, searches the environment information of the target radar point from the stored environment information of each candidate radar point to be used as target environment information, and displays the target environment information on the screen of the robot. For example, a new layer may be added on the screen to show the image of the target environment information.

After checking the target environment information scanned by the candidate radar points, the staff can determine whether an obstacle exists in the target environment information and determine the position of the obstacle, wherein the position of the obstacle is the obstacle point. According to the position of the obstacle, the worker can add the obstacle point on the target map, for example, the worker performs double click on the target map, and determines the coordinate of the obstacle point to be added on the target map according to the coordinate position of the double click sent by the worker on the target map, for example, the position of the double click performed by the worker on the target map is the coordinate position of the obstacle point to be added.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the current environmental information is scanned in real time, whether the current position point of the robot meets the preset radar point determination condition is judged, a plurality of candidate radar points are added on the target map, and the environmental information of each candidate radar point is stored. After the robot is pushed to walk, the working personnel can check the target environment information of any radar point on the robot screen at any time, and determine whether obstacles exist around the radar point according to the target environment information, so that obstacle points are added on a target map. The problem of among the prior art, can't scan the barrier with the radar is solved, the process of user's manual editting drawing has been reduced, through storage environmental information, avoids the user to add wrong barrier point, improves the interpolation precision and the efficiency of barrier point.

Example two

Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for adding obstacles according to a second embodiment of the present invention, which is an alternative embodiment based on the above-mentioned embodiments.

In this embodiment, at least one obstacle point in the target environment information is added to the target map, and may be detailed as: in response to an obstacle point selection instruction, determining obstacle point coordinates of the selected obstacle point to be added in the target map; and judging whether the coordinates of the obstacle points are located in the target environment information, if so, adding the obstacle points to be added into the target map.

As shown in fig. 2, the method specifically includes the following steps:

and step 210, collecting environmental information in a preset scanning range through radar scanning equipment arranged on a robot body.

And step 220, acquiring a current position point of the robot, judging whether the current position point of the robot meets a preset radar point determination condition, if so, displaying candidate radar points to a target map at the current position of the robot, and determining and storing environmental information.

The robot is driven by the staff to walk in an actual operation place, and the current position of the robot is obtained in real time while the robot walks. A radar point determining condition is preset, and after the robot obtains the current position, whether the current position point meets the preset radar point determining condition or not can be automatically judged. If not, the robot continues to acquire a new current position point; and if so, displaying the current position point as a candidate radar point in the target map. After the robot determines that the current position point is the candidate radar point, the robot stores the acquired environment information in the preset scanning range of the current position point, and the environment information can be stored in the form of an image.

In this embodiment, optionally, the determining whether the current position point of the robot meets the preset radar point determination condition includes: determining whether the distance between the current position point of the robot and the last candidate radar point exceeds a preset radar point distance threshold value or not; and if so, determining that the current position point of the robot meets a preset radar point determination condition.

Specifically, a radar point distance threshold between two candidate radar points may be preset, and one candidate radar point may be generated when the robot walks for each radar point distance threshold, that is, the preset radar point determination condition may be that the distance between the two candidate radar points exceeds the preset radar point distance threshold. The first candidate radar point may be preset as the starting point for the robot action. And in the process of pushing the robot, acquiring the current position point of the robot in real time, comparing the current position point with the position of the previous candidate radar point, and determining the distance between the current position point and the previous candidate radar point. If the distance between the current position point of the robot and the last candidate radar point exceeds a preset radar point distance threshold value, the current position point of the robot is determined to meet a preset radar point determination condition, and the current position point of the robot can be set as the candidate radar point to be displayed in a target map. And if the distance between the current position point of the robot and the last candidate radar point does not exceed the preset radar point distance threshold, determining that the current position point of the robot does not meet the preset radar point determination condition, and continuously acquiring a new current position by the robot until the distance between the current position point and the last candidate radar point exceeds the preset radar point distance threshold. For example, the robot may be set to set one candidate radar point per 2 meters of walking. The beneficial effect who sets up like this lies in, can reduce staff's operation according to radar point distance threshold value automatic determination candidate radar point, and can make candidate radar point evenly distributed, avoids the omission of surrounding environment information, improves the interpolation efficiency and the precision of obstacle point.

In this embodiment, optionally, determining whether the current position point of the robot meets a preset radar point determination condition further includes: determining the current time of the robot at the current position point and the historical time of the robot for generating the last candidate radar point; judging whether the time difference between the current time and the historical time exceeds a preset time threshold value or not; and if so, determining that the current position point of the robot meets a preset radar point determination condition.

Specifically, a radar point determination condition is preset, and the radar point determination condition may be that a time difference between two candidate radar points is generated to exceed a preset time threshold. And recording the generation time of the candidate radar point every time the robot generates one candidate radar point, and storing the generation time as historical time. The robot acquires the current time at the current position in real time, and determines the time difference between the current time and the historical time according to the current time and the historical time of the last candidate radar point. And comparing the obtained time difference with a preset time threshold value, and judging whether the time difference between the current time and the historical time exceeds the preset time threshold value. If not, determining that the current position point is not set as a candidate radar point, and continuously acquiring new current time by the robot; if the current position point of the robot meets the preset radar point determination condition, the current position point can be set as a candidate radar point, and the current position point is displayed on the target map by using the preset icon of the candidate radar point. For example, the robot may be set to generate one candidate radar point every 10 seconds. The beneficial effect who sets up like this lies in, realizes that the robot automatically generation candidate radar point reduces user operation, improves the generation efficiency of radar point, and then improves the definite efficiency of obstacle point.

And step 230, responding to the obstacle point adding instruction, determining a target radar point in the candidate radar points, and searching for target environment information of the target radar point.

The method comprises the steps that a user sends out an obstacle point adding instruction on a target map of a robot screen, candidate radar points are selected, and the selected candidate radar points are used as target radar points. In this embodiment, the number of target radar points is not limited.

In this embodiment, optionally, the determining a target radar point in the candidate radar points includes: determining at least one target radar point selected by a user from the candidate radar points in response to the radar point viewing instruction; alternatively, all candidate radar points are determined as target radar points in response to the all radar point view instruction.

Specifically, the user may select at least one target radar point from the candidate radar points one or more times, or all the candidate radar points may be used as the target radar points. The user can select one or more target radar points from the candidate radar points and send out a radar point viewing instruction to view the environment information. For example, the worker may click on the candidate radar points on the target map in a touch manner to serve as the target radar points, and the environment information scanned by all the candidate radar points is not displayed on the screen of the robot, but only the environment information of the selected target radar points is displayed. The staff member can also trigger the control of displaying all radar point information without selecting candidate radar points. If the staff sends out all radar point viewing instructions, all candidate radar points can be used as target radar points, radar information scanned by all candidate radar points can be displayed on the screen, for example, the environmental information of all candidate radar points can be spliced into the overall environmental information of the actual operation place, so that the staff can view the obstacle distribution situation of the whole actual operation place. The beneficial effect who sets up like this lies in, through selecting target radar point, can show whole or local barrier distribution condition on the screen, makes the staff can look over everywhere barrier directly perceivedly, confirms the position of barrier, avoids the omission of information, improves the definite efficiency and the precision of barrier point.

Step 240, responding to the obstacle point selection instruction, and determining the obstacle point coordinates of the selected obstacle point to be added in the target map; and judging whether the coordinates of the obstacle points are located in the target environment information, if so, adding the obstacle points to be added into the target map.

After looking up the target environment information of the target radar point, the user can know the obstacle information in the environment, for example, obtain the position of the obstacle. According to the obstacle information, an obstacle point may be added on the target map. The user can send out an obstacle point selection instruction on the target map, for example, the user can perform double-click on any position on the target map, the double-click operation is sending out the obstacle point selection instruction, and the position of the double-click is the position of the obstacle point to be added. The robot determines the position of the obstacle point selected by the user, and adds the position of the obstacle point selected by the user as the obstacle point to the target map. When the user adds the obstacle point, the location of the double click may not be the location within the viewed target environment information. That is, although the user can view the target environment information of the target radar point, when the user adds the obstacle point, it cannot be guaranteed that the obstacle point is always within the target environment information. In this embodiment, to avoid the error of the obstacle point adding position, after the position of the obstacle point is selected, it may be determined whether the position of this point is in the target environment information. The staff can select the target radar point first, look over the target environmental information of target radar point, confirm the position of barrier according to target environmental information. After the obstacle point to be added is selected, whether the coordinate of the obstacle point to be added is located in the target environment information or not can be determined, if not, a worker is prompted to have an error in the adding position of the obstacle point, and the worker checks the error; if yes, the obstacle point to be added can be added into the target map. The coordinates of the obstacle points may not be compared with the environmental information ranges of the radar points, and the obstacle points may be added to the target map as long as an obstacle point adding instruction of the worker is received.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the current environmental information is scanned in real time, whether the current position point of the robot meets the preset radar point determination condition is judged, a plurality of candidate radar points are added on the target map, and the environmental information of each candidate radar point is stored. After the pushing robot walks, the staff can check the target environment information of any radar point at any time on the robot screen, determine whether obstacles exist around the radar point according to the target environment information, judge whether the obstacle point to be added is located in the target environment, and if so, add the obstacle point on the target map. The problem of among the prior art, can't scan the barrier with the radar is solved, the process of user's manual editting drawing has been reduced, through storage environmental information, avoids the user to add wrong barrier point, improves the interpolation precision and the efficiency of barrier point.

EXAMPLE III

Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for adding obstacles according to a third embodiment of the present invention, which is an alternative embodiment based on the above-mentioned embodiments and can be performed by an apparatus for adding obstacles. As shown in fig. 3, the method specifically includes the following steps:

and 310, acquiring a current position point of the robot, determining a current path point according to the current position point of the robot, and establishing a connection line between the current path point and the previous path point as a running path of the robot.

The worker can push the robot to walk in the actual operation place according to the pre-planned path, for example, the pre-planned path of the worker is a path for pushing the robot to walk in a 'return' shape in the actual operation place. The path range of the robot walking is preset, and the path range refers to the maximum range of the path when the robot walks, namely the robot cannot walk in a space outside the path range. The robot acquires the current position point in real time in the walking process and judges whether the current position point is within a preset path range. If not, determining that the current position point of the robot exceeds the path range, and not taking the current position point as the path point to prompt the staff to push the robot to the position within the path range. If the current position point of the robot is determined to be within the preset path range, determining whether the current position point of the robot meets a preset path point establishing condition, namely determining whether the current position point can be set as a path point. For example, the preset path point establishing condition is that the number of path points cannot exceed 10, and if the number of path points is 11 after the current position point is taken as a path point, it is determined that the current position point does not satisfy the preset path point establishing condition, and the current position point cannot be taken as a path point. The waypoints are position points on the robot travel path, the first waypoint may be a start point of the travel path, and the last waypoint may be an end point of the travel path. When a current path point is determined, a connection line between the current path point and the previous path point can be established on a target map, wherein the target map is displayed on a screen, and the screen is installed on the robot body. The connecting line between the current path point and the previous path point can be a bidirectional line, and the bidirectional line means that the running direction of the robot can run from the current path point to the previous path point and can also run from the previous path point to the current path point. And when the staff pushes the robot to move to the path end point, the addition of the running path of the robot is completed.

In this embodiment, optionally, determining the current path point according to the current position point of the robot includes: judging whether the current position point of the robot is within a preset path range, if so, determining whether the current position point of the robot meets a preset path point establishment condition; the first path point is a preset robot running starting point; and if so, determining the current position point as the current path point of the robot driving path.

Specifically, in the process that the working personnel push the robot, the current position point of the robot is obtained in real time. The current waypoint may be a location point other than the first waypoint, and the first waypoint may be a preset robot travel starting point. And determining whether the current position point of the robot is within the path range or not according to the path range of the robot. If not, sending a prompt message on a screen to remind a worker to push the robot to be within the path range; if yes, further judging whether the current position point of the robot meets the preset path point establishment condition. The waypoint establishment condition is a condition for determining the current position point as a waypoint, which is a position point through which the robot passes when actually working. If the current position point of the robot is not in the path range, prompt information can be sent out to prompt staff to push the robot to the path range. The staff member may also add waypoints manually, for example, the corner positions may be set as waypoints. The efficiency and the precision of determining the path point are improved, and the working efficiency and the running precision of the robot are further improved.

In this embodiment, optionally, the current position point of the robot is a position point other than the first path point; if the current position point of the robot is within the path range, determining whether the current position point of the robot meets a preset path point establishing condition, wherein the step comprises the following steps: if the current position point of the robot is within the path range, determining the distance between the current position point of the robot and the previous path point according to the positions of the current position point and the previous path point of the robot; and judging whether the distance between the current position point of the robot and the previous path point exceeds a preset distance threshold value, if so, determining that the current position point of the robot meets a preset path point establishment condition.

Specifically, the first waypoint is the starting point of travel, a location predetermined for the worker. The working personnel pushes the robot to walk from the driving starting point, and the robot continuously acquires the current position point, wherein the current position point is a position point except the first path point, namely the current position point is a position point except the driving starting point. And after the current position point is determined to be within the path range, determining whether the current position point of the robot meets a preset path point establishment condition. The path point establishing condition may be whether a distance between the current position point and the previous path point exceeds a preset distance threshold, and if so, it is determined that the current position point of the robot meets a preset path point establishing condition. For example, if the preset distance threshold is 1.5 meters, a waypoint is established every 1.5 meters. Each time a waypoint is established, location information of the waypoint, which may be coordinates of the waypoint on the target map, is stored.

After the current position point of the robot is obtained, the position information of the previous path point is searched, and the distance between the current position point of the robot and the previous path point is determined according to the positions of the current position point of the robot and the previous path point. Comparing the distance between the current position point of the robot and the previous path point with a preset distance threshold, if the distance between the current position point of the robot and the previous path point exceeds the preset distance threshold, determining that the current position point of the robot meets a preset path point establishment condition, and determining the current position point as a path point. And if the distance between the current position point of the robot and the previous path point does not exceed the preset distance threshold, determining that the current position point of the robot does not meet the preset path point establishment condition, and continuously acquiring a new current position by the robot. The robot has the advantages that whether the current position point can be used as the path point or not can be judged in real time by setting the distance threshold, so that the robot can generate the path point in real time in the process of pushing the robot to walk by workers, and the adding efficiency of the path point is improved.

And if the current position point of the robot is determined to meet the preset path point establishing condition, taking the current position point of the robot as the current path point, and connecting the current path point with the last established path point to obtain a running path between the current path point and the last path point. And after the working personnel finish pushing the robot, obtaining a complete running path of the robot.

In this embodiment, optionally, the establishing a connection line between the current path point and the previous path point includes: determining a road section distance between the current path point and any candidate path point in the target map; and judging whether the current path point and the candidate path point meet the preset path point connection condition or not according to the distance of the road section, and if so, establishing a bidirectional line between the current path point and the candidate path point.

Specifically, after the current waypoint is determined, the current waypoint may be connected with the previous waypoint, or the current waypoint may be connected with other waypoints. The robot may obtain a link distance between the current waypoint and any one of candidate waypoints after determining the current waypoint, the candidate waypoint being a waypoint that has been generated in addition to the current path. And presetting a path point connection condition, and if the distance of the road section meets the path point connection condition, performing bidirectional line connection on the current path point and the candidate path point corresponding to the distance of the road section. Namely, one path point can be connected with one or more other path points, so that the diversity of the traveling paths of the robot during actual work is improved.

In this embodiment, optionally, determining whether the current waypoint and the candidate waypoint satisfy a preset waypoint connection condition according to the distance between the road sections includes: comparing the road section distance with a preset road section length threshold; and judging whether the road section distance exceeds a preset road section length threshold value, and if not, determining that the preset path point connection condition is met between the current path point and the candidate path point.

Specifically, the preset route point connection condition may be that the distance between the route section exceeds a preset route section length threshold, and after determining the distance between the current route point and the candidate route point, the distance between the route section and the preset route section length threshold is compared. If the distance of the road section does not exceed the preset road section length threshold value, it is determined that the preset path point connection condition is met between the current path point and the candidate path point, and the current path point and the candidate path point can be connected. The method comprises the steps of determining all path points, sequentially determining the distance between each path point and other path points after the path points are determined, comparing the distance between each path point and a path length threshold value, determining the distance between the path points smaller than a preset path length threshold value, connecting the two path points smaller than the path length threshold value to generate a connecting line between the path points, wherein the connecting line between all the path points is the driving path of the robot. The robot has the advantages that the problem that the positioning of the robot is influenced due to the fact that the distance between the two path points is too long is avoided, whether a walking path is correct or not can be determined according to the path points when the robot runs, and running efficiency and precision of the robot are improved.

Because the connecting line between two path points is a bidirectional line, when the robot walks to a repeated route, a worker can close the function of automatically generating the path points by the robot, and the problem that the robot repeatedly generates the path points and the path sections to cause data confusion is avoided. When the robot walks out of the repeated road section, the function of automatically generating the path points can be opened again, so that the robot can generate one path point at certain intervals, and the accuracy of determining the path is improved.

In this embodiment, optionally, after establishing a connection line between the current path point and the previous path point as a travel path of the robot, the method further includes: responding to a target point setting instruction, and acquiring the current position and the current orientation of the robot; the current position of the robot is determined as the position of the target point, and the current orientation of the robot is determined as the docking orientation of the robot at the target point.

Specifically, after the path is added, a target point may be added to the target map, where the target point is a point where the robot may stop in the driving process, for example, the target point may be an avoidance point or a charging pile. The avoidance point can be a position where the robot meets an obstacle in the driving process and waits for avoiding the obstacle. After the driving path is added on the target map, the working personnel can push the robot to reach the position of a planned target point in an actual operation place, turn the robot to the planned direction and send a target point setting instruction. And responding to the target point setting instruction, acquiring the current position and the current orientation of the robot, and taking the direction of the front face of the robot as the current orientation. The current position of the robot is determined as the position of a target point, and the current orientation of the robot is determined as the parking orientation of the robot at the target point, so that the robot automatically walks to the target point when needing to be parked, and is parked according to the current orientation direction. A plurality of target points can be set, and in the working process of the robot, if the robot needs to stop, the distances between the current position of the robot and all the target points are determined, and the target point with the closest distance is selected for stopping. The addition of the target point may be performed after the addition of the obstacle point, or the addition of the obstacle point may be performed after the addition of the target point.

In this embodiment, optionally, after acquiring the current position and the current orientation of the robot in response to the target point setting instruction, the method further includes: determining the stopping distance between any path point on the target map and the current position of the robot according to the current position of the robot; comparing the stopping distance with a preset stopping distance threshold; and if any stopping distance is smaller than or equal to the preset stopping distance threshold, determining that the current position of the robot cannot be set as the target point, and sending out prompt information for resetting the target point on a screen of the robot.

Specifically, the determination condition of the target point may be preset, for example, the determination condition of the target point may be that the distance between the target point and any one of the waypoints is greater than the stopping distance threshold, so as to avoid that the position of the target point is too close to the position of the waypoint, so as to ensure the meaning of setting the target point. The working personnel push the robot to the preset position of the target point, the robot obtains the current position and the positions of all path points on the target map, and the stopping distance between the current position and any path point is determined. And comparing the stopping distance with a preset stopping distance threshold, if at least one stopping distance is smaller than or equal to the preset stopping distance threshold, determining that the current position of the robot cannot be set as a target point, and sending a prompt message for resetting the target point on a robot screen to remind a worker to push the robot to a new position to set the target point. If each stopping distance at the current position is greater than the stopping distance threshold, the current position may be set as the target point. The beneficial effect of the arrangement is that the target point is prevented from being too close to the path point and losing the significance of the target point, so that the robot can effectively avoid when staying at the target point, and the running efficiency and the running safety of the robot are improved.

And 320, collecting environmental information in a preset scanning range through radar scanning equipment arranged on a robot body.

And 330, acquiring a current position point of the robot, judging whether the current position point of the robot meets a preset radar point determination condition, if so, displaying candidate radar points to a target map at the current position of the robot, and determining and storing environmental information.

Step 340, responding to the obstacle point adding instruction, determining a target radar point in the candidate radar points, searching target environment information of the target radar point, and adding at least one obstacle point in the target environment information to the target map.

The embodiment of the invention establishes the connection line between the path points by determining the path points in real time to obtain the running path of the robot. After the driving path is obtained, scanning environment information near the path, judging whether the current position point of the robot meets a preset radar point determining condition, adding a plurality of candidate radar points on a target map, and storing the environment information of each candidate radar point. After the robot is pushed to walk, the working personnel can check the target environment information of any radar point on the robot screen at any time, and determine whether obstacles exist around the radar point according to the target environment information, so that obstacle points are added on a target map. The problem of among the prior art, can't scan the barrier with the radar is solved, the process of user's manual editting drawing has been reduced, through storage environmental information, avoids the user to add wrong barrier point, improves the interpolation precision and the efficiency of barrier point.
