Abstract

The invention provides a mobile robot autonomous following system and method based on multi-sensor fusion and relates to the technical field of industrial automation. The system comprises an upper navigation unit, a bottom motion control unit and a power supply unit, wherein the upper navigation unit acquires positioning information about a target person by a sensor, plans and calculates tracks ofmotion of a robot towards the target person, selects a planned track with the optimal local path and sends a control command to the bottom motion control unit; the bottom motion control unit controlsthe robot to move towards the target person according to the control command of the upper navigation unit; the power supply unit supplies power to the whole system. Meanwhile, the invention further provides the specific mobile robot autonomous following method based on the system. By means of the mobile robot autonomous following system and method based on multi-sensor fusion, the mobile robot can realize a stable autonomous person following function in a dynamic shielding environment including the condition that the target person is shielded by an obstacle.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of industrial automation, in particular to a mobile robot autonomous following system and method based on multi-sensor fusion. Background technique [0002] As robots gradually transition from industrial environments to household or personal applications, the direct interaction between humans and robots has become a new field of research where detecting and following humans is a necessary skill. In recent years, the research and application of follower robots have been deepened, and they are widely used in hospitals, shopping malls and battlefields to help ordinary people complete some simple tasks in their daily life or work environment. If the robot is to follow pedestrians quickly and stably, it must be able to obtain accurate location information of the target person. [0003] Currently common positioning technologies include indoor and outdoor positioning technologies: based on real-time positioning an...
