A robot automatically finding a charging station and a system and method for automatically finding a charging station thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a robot automatically finding a charging station and a system and method for automatically finding a charging station thereof. The robot at least comprises an infrared receiving module, a video acquiring module, a mileage measuring device, a motion device, and a master control system. The infrared receiving module receives an infrared target tracking signal and an infrared target butting signal of a charging station in order to achieve automatic butting of the robot and the charging station with three stages including target researching, target tracking, and target butting. The video acquiring module acquires information required by face detection and emotion recognition and information required by environmental perception and abnormity detection. The mileage measuring device measures information of mileage travelled by the robot. The motion device receives a command from the master control system in order to drive the robot to walk, completes ultrasonic ranging in a walking process, feeds a result of the ultrasonic ranging back to the master control system in order to execute subsequent control, and detects the electric quantity of a battery in a robot service process and feeds the electric quantity back to the master control system in order to determine whether charging is required. The master control system integrates acquired information in order to control the robot. The system and method may fast achieve reliable butting between the robot and the charging station and increase a butting success rate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of robot charging, in particular to a self-seeking charging robot and a self-seeking charging system and method thereof. Background technique [0002] Home service intelligent robot is a typical mechatronics system, which integrates many advanced technologies such as machinery, electronics, sensors, computer software and hardware, pattern recognition, artificial intelligence, industrial design, etc. It is an important hotspot in the current research of intelligent robots. However, the rechargeable battery carried by the home robot has a short duration and cannot guarantee the uninterrupted work of the service robot, which brings great inconvenience to practical applications. At present, the application of home service robots developed worldwide is becoming more and more extensive. In order to solve the power problem that plagues the development of home service robots, it is necessary to develop intelligent charging te...
