Robot meal delivery control method and device, meal delivery robot and automatic meal delivery system

Abstract

The invention is applied to the field of robots, and provides a robot meal delivery control method. The method comprises the following steps of receiving ordering information of a user, and taking ordered meal according to ordering information and calculating the optimal path to the meal position of the user; controlling the robot to detect whether an obstacle exists in the path in real time according to the optimal path; when it is detected that an obstacle exists in the detection path, adjusting the advancing direction to avoid the obstacle; when the robot arrives at the user's meal position, acquiring the size information of the spare position of the dining table of the user; judging whether the meal product can be placed on the dining table or not; and when it is judged that the food product cannot be placed on the dining table, reminding the user to move the position of the meal product on the dining table; and when it is judged that the meal product can be placed on the dining table, placing the meal product and returning. According to the robot meal delivery control method provided by the invention, the obstacles in the path are detected in real time, so that the possibilityof collision during the advancing process is effectively avoided, and the meal delivery robot does not need to depend on magnetic navigation, and the cost is greatly reduced; in addition, a meal product can be taken independently, and extra human assistance is not needed; and meanwhile, an accident that scald is caused due to overhigh temperature of a meal product can be avoided, so that the method is suitable for popularization and application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of robots, in particular to a robot meal delivery control method and device, a meal delivery robot and an automatic meal delivery system. Background technique [0002] At present, robots have been widely used in various fields. However, most of the domestic restaurants are mainly based on grassroots personnel services, and only a few restaurants use food delivery robots. [0003] One of the main reasons why robots are difficult to promote in the catering industry is that the restaurant has a large flow of people, and it is prone to collision accidents when using machines to deliver food. Therefore, the existing food delivery robots are based on magnetic navigation systems, binocular cameras and laser radar systems. It is necessary to lay magnetic strips on the ground in advance, and the robot walks according to the preset path to reduce the probability of collisions. However, the magnetic strips need to be repaired fr...
