Problems solved by technology

That is to say, during the working process of the robot, when the power of the robot is less than a certain threshold, the robot needs to spend a certain amount of time to charge in a specific charging area, which reduces the utilization rate of the robot.
Therefore, when the storage system needs to complete the handling task, the storage system needs to provide more robots than the actual demand, which increases the cost of the storage system

Embodiment Construction

[0040] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the figures are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0041]In the storage environment, a charging area is usually set in a certain fixed area of ​​the storage, and when the robot’s power is monitored to be less than a certain threshold, the robot needs to spend a certain amount of time to charge in a specific charging area, which reduces the robot’s operating capacity in the storage. usage rate. Therefore, after the required number of robots is determined according to the handling task, in order to ensure that the handling task can be completed on schedule, the number of...

Abstract

The invention discloses a robot charging control method, a device, a dispatching server and a robot, wherein the method comprises the following steps of: acquiring a current first electric-quantity value of the robot; when determining that the current first electric-quantity value of the robot is less than a first threshold value, judging whether a task path of the robot includes a first node positioned at a material taking area; if so, issuing a quick-charging instruction to the robot so as to lead the robot to be quickly charged at the first node according to the quick-charging instruction.The robot charging control method disclosed by the embodiment of the invention has the advantages that the control of quick charging for the robot on the material taking area is realized, the time when the robot is in the material taking area is reasonably utilized, and the robot does not need to make time for charging at a specific charging area, so that the utilization rate of the robot is increased, a storage system does not need to provide more robots than the actually-needed robots and the cost of the storage system is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to a method and device for controlling charging of a robot, a scheduling server and a robot. Background technique [0002] In the field of warehousing systems, automated warehousing systems are more and more widely used. Many warehousing operations that are handled manually are now replaced by automated robots. In modern warehousing systems, full automation, high efficiency, and high density have become the development of warehousing automation. Target. [0003] Usually, in the storage environment, the general working process of the robot is: the robot picks up the goods from the shelf according to the task path, and then the robot sends the picked goods to the pick-up area, and the picker in the pick-up area picks up the goods from the robot. Pick up the goods. [0004] In order to support the mobility of robots, many robots currently use rechargeable batteries as their power sour...
