Abstract

The invention provides a method and server for robot queuing management. The method includes the steps that a crowding point zone is determined; dispatching instructions are set for robots in the crowding point zone respectively according to passing requests sent by the robots in the crowding point zone and paths of the robots in the crowding point zone; the dispatching instructions are sent to the robots in the crowding point zone respectively so that the robots receiving the dispatching instructions can pass through the crowding point zone according to the dispatching instructions. By analyzing the passing requests of the robots in the crowding point zone and setting the respective dispatching instructions for the robots, it is avoided that the robots cause crowding in the crowding point zone, the speed of the robots in passing through crowding points is increased, and then the overall working efficiency of a robot cluster is improved.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to a method and server for robot queuing management. Background technique

[0002] At present, with the development of social economy, it is more and more widely used in large-scale people flow and logistics places such as supermarkets, airports, stations, exhibition centers and logistics warehouses. The 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.

[0003] In the process of realizing the present invention, the inventor finds that there are following problems in the related art:

[0004] In related technologies, during the large-scale dynamic activities of the robot cluster in the venue, if the robot cluster has a necessary point in the venue, if it needs to pass through this point in a short time, conge...

Examples

Embodiment 1

[0039] see figure 1 , the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for robot queuing management. The method specifically includes the following steps:

[0040] Step 101, determining the congestion point area;

[0041] In the embodiment of the present invention, the server establishes a data connection with multiple robots in the field, and then obtains the paths of the multiple robots, analyzes the paths of the multiple robots, and determines the places with high frequency of occurrence in the paths As a congestion point, the congestion point area is determined from the adjacent areas of the congestion point, wherein the congestion point area is different from arranging robots in a row, and the robots that first enter the congestion point area are arranged in the front queuing area, but the robots are scattered Various locations within the congestion point area.

[0042] Step 102 , according to the passing request sent by each robot in the congestion point area...

Embodiment 2

[0071] This embodiment provides a server for robot queuing management, such as Figure 5 As shown, the server establishes data connections with a plurality of robots, and the server includes:

[0072] Determining module 51, is used for determining congested point area;

[0073] A setting module 52, configured to set scheduling instructions for each robot in the congestion point area according to the passing request sent by each robot in the congestion point area;

[0074] The sending module 53 is configured to send a scheduling instruction to each robot in the congestion point area, so that the robots that have received the scheduling instruction pass through the congestion point area according to the scheduling instruction.

[0075] Wherein, the determination module 51 includes:

[0076] an acquisition unit, configured to acquire the paths of the plurality of robots;

[0077] a congestion point determining unit, configured to determine a congestion point according to the p...
