Method and system for using and managing maps

Abstract

The present invention provides a map usage management method and system, the method comprising: a map scanning device scans the current environment of each work site, acquires current environment data, creates an initial work map of each work site according to the current environment data, and Upload the initial work map to the server; or the map scanning device scans the current environment of each work site, and uploads the obtained current environment data to the server, and the server creates an initial work map corresponding to each work site according to the current environment data; The characteristic information of the work place, create unique map identification information for the initial work map corresponding to each work place, and obtain the work identification map; the server creates different task points to be selected on each work identification map according to the task creation operation, And / or the task paths to be selected between each task point to form a work map corresponding to each work site. The invention realizes the map management through the server.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of robot navigation, in particular to a map usage management method and system. Background technique [0002] With the continuous advancement of science and technology, intelligent robots have developed rapidly. For service robots, navigation is the key to robot work. For robot navigation, the robot's working map is an indispensable thing. [0003] At present, when the robot is working, it generally enters the work map into the robot system in advance. With the continuous expansion of the application scene of the robot, when the robot goes from one work scene to another, it needs to switch to different work maps. However, due to the impact of the robot's memory, it is impossible for the robot to "carry" a lot of maps, which brings difficulties for the robot to work in different scenarios. [0004] For the same application scenario, its working environment is also constantly changing. For example, after the office i...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

For example, after the office is decorated, the placement of many large objects will also change. If the robot works according to the original work map, it will encounter many obstacles during the walking process, which will affect the normal work of the robot.
