According to the laser device on the robot body, in the moving process of the robot, the laser device emits laser, and the robot receives the reflected light of an object, so that the external things are sensed.

In the present application, a laser point cloud or simply a point cloud, a laser point cloud is a set of laser points photographed by a robot at a position, and a laser point cloud map is a set composed of a group of such laser point clouds.

As shown in fig. 1, a laser map updating method provided in an embodiment of the present application includes:

step 10, splicing the laser point cloud and the map laser point cloud, and determining the point cloud to be updated according to a splicing result; the map laser point cloud is a combination of a plurality of point clouds having a specific relation with the laser point cloud;

the laser point clouds can be collected by the robot in real time at present, and can also be a plurality of laser point clouds collected by the robot in preset time. The laser point cloud collected in real time is hereinafter referred to as the current laser point cloud. And splicing each laser point cloud and the map laser point cloud.

A plurality of point clouds having a specific relationship with the laser point cloud, where the specific relationship may be selected according to the distance between each map point cloud and the laser point cloud, or other means.

Step 20, updating the information of the point cloud to be updated to a laser map according to the laser point cloud and the map laser point cloud to obtain an updated laser map;

and step 30, comparing the updated laser map with the original map, if the difference between the two maps exceeds a preset first threshold value, abandoning the updated laser map, and otherwise, keeping the updated laser map.

Specifically, the comparison algorithm is any image matching algorithm. The difference between the two maps exceeds a preset first threshold, specifically: when the difference (in pixels) between the two maps is less than a first threshold. Typically the first threshold is in the range 5% -20% of the map size.

And comparing the updated laser map with the original map, and giving up updating if the updated laser map changes the map skeleton of the original map. Thereby avoiding that deviations in positioning do not make map updates wrong.

According to the laser map updating method provided by the embodiment of the application, the point cloud to be updated is determined according to the splicing result of the current laser point cloud and the map laser point cloud, then the information of the point cloud to be updated is updated to the laser map, if the difference between the updated laser map and the original map exceeds a preset first threshold value, the updating is abandoned, otherwise, the rotation, the translation and the zooming of the updated map and the map before updating are better ensured, and a foundation is laid for the normal operation of upper-layer business logic.

In some embodiments, determining the point cloud to be updated and the relative pose between the current point cloud and the point cloud to be updated uses a first strategy. The method comprises the following steps of splicing the current laser point cloud and the map laser point cloud, and determining the point cloud to be updated according to a splicing result, wherein the method specifically comprises the following steps:

and when the current laser point cloud is successfully spliced with the map laser point cloud, splicing the current laser point cloud with each point cloud in the map laser point cloud, and determining the current laser point cloud which is successfully spliced as the point cloud to be updated.

And splicing the current laser point cloud and the map laser point cloud, wherein when the current laser point cloud and the map laser point cloud are successfully spliced, the splicing result is successful. The definition of successful splicing means that the diagonal value of the covariance matrix of the splicing of the current laser point cloud and the corresponding point cloud in the map laser point cloud is less than a third threshold value. The third threshold value ranges are: 1e-6 to 1 e-2.

In the embodiment of the application, only the current laser point cloud which is successfully spliced is processed, the current laser point cloud is determined as the point cloud to be updated, and the map is updated in the subsequent steps.

The specific method for updating the map laser point cloud by using the current laser point cloud is as follows: at the current laser point cloud (S)_current) Position and posture (P)_current) Selecting a set of map point clouds around (To be provided withTo express that each point cloud corresponds to a pose ofTo be provided withTo represent), the selection method may be to separate the pose of the current laser point (i.e., from the pose of each map point cloud) The distance between the two or other means. Then using the map point cloudsCombined generation of map laser point clouds (S)_merged)，S_mergedPosition and posture P of_merged) Can be selected asIn a posture ofOther point cloud poses are also possible, but we choose here to useThen using S_currentAnd S_mergedThe pose change between 2 point clouds is obtained by splicing, namely

When S is_currentAnd S_mergedWhen splicing is successful, S is reused_currentAnd each component S_mergedPoint cloud ofSplicing again, if the splicing is successful, the splicing can be directly obtainedIf the splicing fails, theIt is derived as follows:

because of the fact thatSo that there are

In another embodiment, determining the point cloud to be updated and the relative pose between the current point cloud and the point cloud to be updated uses a second strategy. The method comprises the following steps of splicing the current laser point cloud and the map laser point cloud, and determining the point cloud to be updated according to a splicing result, wherein the method specifically comprises the following steps:

when the splicing of the current laser point cloud and the map laser point cloud is successful, determining the current laser point cloud as a first point cloud to be updated;

when the splicing of the current laser point cloud and the map laser point cloud fails, determining the failed current laser point cloud as a key point cloud, determining the key point cloud as a second point cloud to be updated, and determining a set of the first point cloud to be updated and the second point cloud to be updated as the point cloud to be updated.

The first strategy simply updates the map laser point clouds only for successful point clouds after the successful splicing of the current laser point clouds and the map laser point clouds, while the second strategy can update unsuccessful point clouds (key point clouds) through successful point clouds instead of successful point clouds. For clarity, we define a successfully stitched current point cloud as S_currentPose P_currentAt this S_currentThe current point cloud, i.e. the key point cloud, which is failed to be spliced before until the last splicing is successful is represented asIs used universally toTo show that they correspond to a pose ofIs used universally toTo indicate. Usually we set a maximum number of failures, n < the fourth threshold, which is adjusted according to the actual situation, typically ranging from 0 to 20. Due to the fact thatIf the splicing is not successful, the increment between the key point cloud and the map laser point cloud corresponding to the key point cloud is S_currentThe map-based stitching is derived, and here corresponds to the fact that the difference between the angle and the distance and the map laser point cloud meets a fifth threshold. The fifth threshold consists of 2 parts, an angle between +/-90 degrees and a distance between 0 and 5 meters.

The derivation process of the key point cloud for updating the map laser point cloud is as follows: suppose S_currentIf the map is successfully spliced, the method includes(see in particular the first strategy). For each failed splice before this splice succeedsThe map laser point cloud corresponding to it is selected first (using the fifth threshold),to be provided withFor general expressions and their posesDeriving each sum for the point cloudsCorresponding relative position, i.e.

In the second strategy, a key point cloudThe unsuccessfully spliced point cloud is not abandoned, but is required to be used for map updating, because the situation that the current laser point cloud and the point cloud in the map laser point cloud are unsuccessfully spliced due to the fact that the environment is changed is quite likely, and the situation is quite normal and is a very important part needing updating in the embodiment of the application.

Further, as shown in fig. 2, the updating the information of the point cloud to be updated to the laser map according to the laser point cloud and the map laser point cloud to obtain an updated laser map specifically includes:

step 21, projecting the current laser point cloud to the pose of each point cloud in the map laser point cloud to generate a current projection point cloud;

step 22, discretizing the angle of each laser point in the current projection point cloud and the map laser point cloud;

and step 23, traversing the current projection point cloud, judging whether a dynamic object is present and whether the barrier/map is changed, and if not, replacing the corresponding point cloud on the map to be updated with the laser point cloud.

And when the object is not determined to be a dynamic object and the obstacle/map is not determined to be changed, replacing the corresponding point cloud on the map to be updated with the laser point cloud.

Further, traversing the current projection point cloud, determining whether a dynamic object is present and determining whether an obstacle/map is changed, and if neither dynamic object is present, replacing the corresponding point cloud on the map to be updated with a laser point cloud, specifically including:

judging whether a first distance from any map laser point in all map laser points in the map laser point cloud to a laser emitting device of the map laser point cloud is greater than a second distance from a current laser point corresponding to the map laser point in all current laser points in the current laser point cloud to the laser emitting device of the map laser point cloud; if so, continuously judging whether the distance difference between the first distance and the second distance is larger than a second threshold (the range of the second threshold is adjusted according to the actual condition and is generally 5cm-30cm), if so, judging that the current laser point cloud corresponds to the dynamic object, and not updating the map; if the distance difference is smaller than a second threshold value, judging that the current laser point cloud does not correspond to the dynamic object, and replacing the corresponding point cloud on the map to be updated with the current laser point cloud;

and when the first distance is smaller than the second distance, judging that the current laser point cloud corresponds to the obstacle/map change, and replacing the corresponding point cloud on the map to be updated with the current laser point cloud.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the adopted strategy is as follows: all laser points of the current laser point cloud are updated in the following manner. As described above, a laser point cloud is a collection of laser points that the robot takes at a location. First of all byWill S_currentIs projected to S_mapIn the pose of (1), the current projection point cloud (S ') is generated'_current) Then to S'_currentAnd S_mapDiscretized by the angle of each point and then updated as described in the figure.

Go through S'_currentEach laser spot in (a). In fig. 3, an origin O is defined as a position of the laser, and a curve AB represents a map laser point under a map laser point cloud; the curve CD represents the current laser point under the current laser point cloud; in the left half of fig. 3, a first distance from any map laser point of all map laser points in the map laser point cloud to its emitting laser, for example, the OA line segment and the OB line segment in fig. 3 each represent a first distance rr, X map laser points are on the defined curve AB, and the distance from any map laser point to the origin O is a first distance. A second distance from the current laser point corresponding to the map laser point to the laser emitting device of the current laser point cloud, for example, the OD line segment in fig. 3 represents the second distance, in the right half, Y current laser points are provided on the right part of the curve CD after the point P, and the distance from any current laser point to the origin O is the second distance rc.

The point P is used as a boundary, and in the left half part, the first distance is larger than the second distance; in the right half, the first distances are each less than the second distance; the point P is considered as the first distance equal to the second distance, and the point does not need to be updated.

In the left half of the first distance being larger than the second distance, the new point (the current laser point) is likely to be a dynamic object, and the determination continues with the second threshold T, see fig. 3. And continuously judging whether the distance difference between the first distance and the second distance is larger than a second threshold value, if so, judging that the current laser point cloud corresponds to the dynamic object, and not updating the map. And if the distance difference is smaller than a second threshold value, judging that the current laser point cloud does not correspond to the dynamic object, and replacing the corresponding point cloud on the map to be updated with the current laser point cloud.

And when the first distances are smaller than the right half parts of the second distances, judging that the current laser point clouds correspond to the obstacles/map changes, and replacing the corresponding point clouds on the map to be updated with the current laser point clouds. The first distance is smaller than the second distance, which indicates that a moving obstacle exists before or the map is changed, and the second threshold T is not seen in the updating process, namely, the current laser point cloud is directly used for replacing the corresponding point cloud on the map to be updated.

Therefore, the laser map updating method of the embodiment of the application can be used for dealing with dynamic objects.

The above-described embodiments may be a stand-alone (single-robot) map update scheme, a laser map update method performed on one machine, involving no interaction with other robots (except for map sharing and distribution). Of course, the embodiment of the present application may also be applied to a multi-machine updating scheme, that is, a plurality of robots update a laser map together.

As shown in fig. 4, when the subject performing the laser map updating method is a plurality of robots, the method further includes:

step 40, receiving at least one updated laser map;

and 50, updating the at least one updated laser map into the original map of the local machine according to time sequence.

Steps 40 and 50 may be performed on a robot or may be performed on a central server.

At regular intervals (e.g., every half day, every two days, every three days, every half week, every four days, or once per week), each robot then sends its respective updated portion to the central server (or to a robot). The central server (or a certain robot) receives the updated laser map sent by one or more robots to form one or more sections of local update maps, and the local update map sent by each robot carries a number and is received by the central server (or a certain robot).

The center (or a robot) will do the following: for each received partial update, it is added to the original map with a temporal ordering, and then steps 20 and 30 described in the standalone policy are performed.

Finally, the fused map may be sent to each robot. The map may be updated cooperatively by multiple robots. Each robot can calculate the difference between the original map and the path traveled by the robot, and then all the robots send the difference to a central processing place (which can be a server or a specific robot), and the central server runs a fusion algorithm to fuse the collected information and then distributes the updated map to each robot to complete the map updating process.

As shown in fig. 5, an embodiment of the present application further provides a robot 100, where the robot 100 includes a laser 101 for acquiring the laser point cloud, and the robot 100 is configured to perform the above-mentioned laser map updating method.

The embodiment of the present application further provides a clustered robot system 200, which includes a plurality of robots 100 as described above.

Optionally, one of the robots of the system receives the updated laser maps sent by the other robots, and updates the plurality of updated laser maps to a local original map according to time sequence; and sends the updated map to other robots.

Further, the system further includes a central server 201, where the central server 201 is configured to receive the updated laser map sent by one or more robots, and the central server updates the one or more updated laser maps into the original map in a time-ordered manner, and sends the updated and fused map to the multiple robots.

It should be noted that the robot and the clustered robot system proposed in the embodiment of the present application are based on the same inventive concept as the laser map updating method proposed in the embodiment of the method of the present application, and the technical contents of the embodiment of the method and the embodiment of the robot and the embodiment of the clustered robot system are mutually applicable, and are not described in detail herein.
