A monorail robot using magnetic field positioning and its control method

Abstract

The invention relates to a robot and a control method thereof, in particular to a single-track robot capable of positioning via a magnetic field and the control method thereof. The single-track robot comprises a main control part, a signal collecting unit, a plurality of magnetic sensors, a manipulator, electric wheels, a slide track and a path control unit, wherein the manipulator and the electric wheels are electrically connected with the main control part which is communicated with the signal collecting unit and the path control unit respectively. The control method includes that: the manipulator is enabled to move along the slide track by driving the electric wheels via the main control part, a travelling direction of the manipulator can be controlled by the path control unit at a turnoff of the slide track, the magnetic field can be generated by an end portion, close to the slide track, of the manipulator, the magnetic sensors are fixedly mounted along the slide track and send position information of the manipulator to the main control part via the signal collecting unit, and the position of the manipulator can be sensed and controlled by the main control part in a three-dimensional space in a certain range.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a robot, in particular to a monorail robot positioned by a magnetic field. Background technique [0002] With the advancement of science and technology, robots are more and more involved in human work and life. It is foreseeable that in the future, robots will replace humans to undertake more and more complex and heavy tasks, and people can be freed from heavy work. Live more easily and comfortably. But at present, robots (or automation devices with robot functions) can only do some simple repetitive automation tasks, such as: indoor cleaning robots, weeding robots, dance performance robots, educational robots, welding robots, etc., these robots are Unable to realize their own positioning, the general level of intelligence is not high, and a large number of complex and heavy tasks in people's work and daily life are still dominated by manpower. The era is looking forward to the emergence of robots with higher intelligence. C...
