Problems solved by technology

[0003] The purpose of the embodiments of the present invention is to provide a method and system for autonomous charging of a robot, aiming at solving the problem that the existing autonomous charging method of a robot cannot accurately mark the location of the charging pile, and it is necessary to try to find the charging pile multiple times each time charging. And it is easy to lose the sensing signal during the robot's travel and cause the problem of charging failure

Abstract

The invention provides a robot autonomous charging method and system, relating to the robot technical field. The method comprises: employing a first camera arranged on the head of a robot to detect the visual positioning marker on a charging pile in the moving scope of the robot; when the visual positioning marker on a charging pile is detected, calculating the orientation information of the charging pile relative to the robot according to the visual positioning marker, and guiding the robot to the front of the charging pile according to the orientation information; and when the robot moves to the front of the charging pile, employing a second camera arranged on the bottom of the robot to detect the visual positioning marker on the charging pile, correcting the moving direction of the robot in real time according to the visual positioning marker, and allowing the robot to move towards the charging pile along a straight line until the charging slot on the base of the robot and the charging contact on the charging pile are closed. The robot autonomous charging method and system allow a robot to accurately position the position of a charging pile, and guarantee smooth operation of robot autonomous charging.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of real-time robots, and in particular relates to a method and system for autonomous charging of a robot. Background technique [0002] Many service mobile robots are tasked with performing tasks such as cleaning, garbage collection, package delivery, cooking, beverage delivery, and surveillance in home and office environments, freeing humans from heavy labor. These service-type mobile robots are usually equipped with an autonomous charging system, through which the robot can periodically and automatically charge the battery in the body, so that it can operate fully automatically without manual intervention. The existing autonomous charging system of a mobile robot is mainly composed of a charging pile and an infrared sensor or a sonar sensor installed on the robot. Specific location to realize automatic docking with charging piles to complete autonomous charging. However, the charging effect of this autonomous char...
