Robot scheduling method and apparatus

Abstract

The invention provides a robot scheduling method and apparatus. The method comprises the following steps: according to a current work task, selecting a robot to be scheduled; obtaining initial node coordinates and destination node coordinates of the robot to be scheduled in a corresponding three-dimensional coordinate system in a work place; according to the initial node coordinates and the destination node coordinates, a moving speed of the robot to be scheduled and a time table about planned nodes which a robot moves past in the work place, planning a movement path of the robot to be scheduled; and triggering the robot to be scheduled to execute a work task according to the movement path. According to the invention, a mode of demonstrating the work place in the form of nodes and the movement path in the form of time through the three-dimensional coordinate system is employed, and according to states of all nodes within preset time between initial nodes and destination nodes of robots, centralized scheduling is performed on the robots in the work place, such that mutual bumps between the robots is avoided, and at the same time, the flexibility of the control mode of the robots is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of robots, in particular, to a scheduling method and device for robots. Background technique [0002] At present, with the rapid development of social economy and the wide application of intelligent products, the scale and number of large-scale flow of people and logistics places such as supermarkets, airports, stations, exhibition centers and logistics warehouses continue to expand. Therefore, more and more automated robots that can work autonomously are involved in airport luggage transportation, logistics distribution and other fields. The automated robot is a multi-functional comprehensive system integrating environmental perception, route planning, dynamic decision-making, behavior control and alarm modules, which can realize timing and mobile self-service work. Automated robots can replace manpower in the transportation, handling, sorting, storage, and packaging of goods. Through automated rob...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the process of realizing the present invention, the inventor found that there are at least the following problems in the related art: in the application environment of robots with a large number and density, it is easy for the robots to collide with each other. In the related art, by setting the anti-collision sensor on the robot To solve the problem of mutual collision between robots, there are problems of high investment cost, low work efficiency, and inflexible control methods
