Mobile robots and control method and device for same

Abstract

The invention discloses a control method for mobile robots. The method comprises the steps that one of the mobile robots obtains corresponding current position identification information through a locating device in a current operating area; the corresponding mobile robot matches the current position identification information with a map of a movement area or makes reference between the current position identification information and reference substance information, so that the current position, in the movement area, of the corresponding mobile robot is determined; the corresponding mobile robot writes information carried by the mobile robot into the locating device in a current operating face so that other mobile robots can obtain the information; or based on the current position, subsequent operation is conducted, and in addition, subsequent operation execution information is written into the locating device in the current operation area so that other mobile robots can obtain the subsequent operation execution information. By means of the control method for the mobile robots, efficiency of cooperation conducted among the multiple robots can be improved, resources are allocated reasonably, and task operation is completed rapidly and efficiently.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of robot control, in particular to a mobile robot and its control method and device. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of robots and automatic control technology, robots are used to replace manual tasks, such as sweeping robots, industrial handling robots, security inspection robots, etc. Existing robot applications mostly work independently with a single robot, and have an independent control system to control and arrange task operations by themselves; however, with the development of social needs and technology, it is gradually necessary to use multiple robots to cooperate with each other to complete some tasks with a large or complex workload. task. [0003] The inventor of the present application found in long-term research and development that the existing control method for multiple robots to work cooperatively generally controls multiple robots through a general controller; Ma...

Problems solved by technology

Existing robot applications mostly work independently with a single robot, and have an independent control system to control and arrange task operations by themselves; however, with the development of social needs and technology, it is gradually necessary to use multiple robots to cooperate with each other to complete some tasks with a large or complex workload. task

[0003] The inventor of the present application found in long-term research and development that the existing control method for multiple robots to work cooperatively generally controls multiple robots through a general controller; Make judgments and adjustments, especially when a multi-robot system encounters complex situations, it is easy to cause conflicts between robots, and even stagnation or deadlock, reducing the efficiency of task execution
