Abstract

The invention provides a floor sweeping robot having the visual navigation function and a navigation method thereof. The floor sweeping robot comprises a sweeping host and a visual navigation controller. The sweeping host comprises a sensing unit, a driving unit, and a driving control unit. The visual navigation controller includes a first visual capture unit, a second visual capture unit, a WIFI communication unit, a storage unit, an indoor simultaneous positioning and mapping unit and a path navigation and control unit. The first visual capture unit and the second visual capture unit are configured to capture the related visual information. The related visual information includes the map information of the local map and the global map of a room wherein the floor sweeping robot is located. The path navigation and control unit is used for sending out a path navigation instruction according to the visual information, the map information and the sensing information. The driving control unit is used for controlling the driving unit according to the path navigation instruction. Advantageously, based on the floor sweeping robot having the visual navigation function and the navigation method thereof, the visual navigation and path planning function can be realized based on the simple modification of an ordinary floor sweeping robot (without a camera).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of sweeping robots and the field of home security, in particular to a sweeping robot with a visual navigation function and a navigation method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the development of smart homes, sweeping robots are loved by more and more families. Existing sweeping robots can use infrared sensors and cameras for visual navigation, but their high prices make it difficult for users to accept. Therefore, there is a need for a novel sweeping robot with visual navigation function and its navigation method, which can realize visual navigation and path planning functions by simple modification on the basis of an ordinary sweeping robot (without camera). Contents of the invention [0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a sweeping robot with visual navigation function and its navigation method, aiming to provide the sweeping robot with visual navigation and ...
