Linear navigation method and robot

Abstract

The invention provides a linear navigation method and a robot. The method comprises the following steps of: capturing an environment image, wherein the environment image comprises at least two mutually parallel guide lines; identifying a vanishing point in the environment image; determining a starting position of the robot according to the vanishing point; determining a moving direction accordingto the starting position and the vanishing point; identifying the captured environment image in the process of moving according to the moving direction, and when the environment image is identified tohave a target pattern, determining a destination, and calculating a distance value according to the destination and the starting position, wherein the target pattern comprises a positioning image anda label image, and the label image is embedded in the positioning image; and carrying out movement according to the moving direction and the distance value until the destination is reached. The method is capable of realizing the aim of correctly and efficiently guiding and helping the robots to enter and exit elevator spaces with low cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of intelligent control, in particular to a navigation method and a robot along a route. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the development of robotics and the deepening of artificial intelligence research, intelligent robots have played an increasingly important role in human life and have been widely used in many fields. [0003] In some applications, robots may be used in cross-floor scenarios, such as cross-floor user guidance, delivery of items, etc. In this scenario, robots are often based on taking elevators to achieve cross-floor operations. [0004] Due to the small space of the elevator, there are many people taking the elevator. When the robot shares the elevator with people, it needs to be extra careful when entering and exiting the elevator. The existing technology adopts two ways to enable the robot to enter and exit the elevator. One is to use a special person to assist the ro...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The existing technology uses two methods to allow the robot to enter and exit the elevator. One is to assist the robot to enter and exit the elevator. This method requires additional personnel to assist the robot, which increases unnecessary labor costs.

The second is to use a single-line laser to navigate in and out of the elevator. This method is often difficult to make accurate judgments in the elevator space where people come and go, and cannot guarantee that the robot can enter and exit the elevator effectively.
