Height and direction adaptive service robot and adaptive method

Abstract

The invention discloses a height and direction adaptive service robot and an adaptive method. The adaptive method comprises an adaptive interactive body direction sensing method, an adaptive interactive body position sensing method and a height adaptive method; and a sensing unit, a processor unit and a movement unit are combined, and the robot can adaptively sense the direction, position and height of an interactive body when interacting with a person or an environment, and is adaptively adjusted correspondingly. Adaptive active height adjustment of the robot can be realized, the number of users of the robot is increased effectively, and interaction comfort is improved; the circumstance that in the original low-grade interaction mode, the interactive body needs to adapt to the robot and find the robot is changed; and by an interface which communicates with a server, interactive processing service of the robot can be dynamically adjusted to the server, requirements on performance of the processor unit of the robot can be reduced effectively, and service function features of the robot are enriched.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a height and orientation adaptive service robot and an adaptation method. Background technique [0002] With the development of the times and the advancement of science and technology, service robots have begun to enter people's lives. Multi-sensor fusion, highly intelligent and highly interactive service robots have become the trend of future development. For example, the height-adjustable visual robot described in Chinese utility model patent "CN204505234U", and the rescue robot using microphone array sound positioning described in Chinese utility model patent CN201510581167.6. [0003] At present, in the process of people interacting with robots, there is such a problem: because there are certain differences in the heights of various interactors, when interacting with a robot with a fixed height, there will be a problem of height mismatch, which makes the communication uncomfortable feel. Thereby greatly reducing the adap...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, in the process of people interacting with robots, there is such a problem: because there are certain differences in the heights of various interactors, when interacting with a robot with a fixed height, there will be a problem of height mismatch, which makes the communication uncomfortable sense

Although existing height-adjustable robots exist, most of them are passively controlled, and the robot does not have the function of autonomous height adjustment based on its own multi-sensor information

[0004] Secondly, in the process of communication and interaction, if there are differences in the orientation and position of the interactor and the robot, the current main method of approach is to actively approach the robot to carry out close-range interactive communication. At the same time, it is not possible to chat with the interactor while walking.

Such an interaction method shows that the current robot has problems such as poor interaction and low level of intelligence.

[0005] In addition, the existing positioning technology for robots and interactors only recognizes the position through sound. For example, in a noisy environment with many people, this method has problems such as low positioning success rate, weak anti-interference ability, and small scope of application.
