Robot and control method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a robot and a control method thereof. The robot comprises a mechanical arm, a camera, two range sensors, a driving mechanism and a processor, wherein first to Nth joints are arranged on the mechanical arm, the mechanical arm is mounted on the robot through the first joint, and an end executor is arranged at one end, away from the first joint, of the mechanical arm. The driving mechanism is controlled to adjust position and pointing angle of the robot according to images shot by the camera and distance measured by the two range sensors, and therefore, the adjusted robotreaches the front of a target cabinet and is parallel to the target cabinet; then the posture of the mechanical arm is adjusted, and the end executor of the mechanical arm is in physical connection with a cabinet door; and the first joint is controlled to rotate while second to Nth joint lose torsion, the mechanical arm is enable to move backwards to open the cabinet door of the target cabinet, and the door opening function can be achieved. The robot and the control method thereof can be widely applied to the field of automation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of automation, in particular to a robot and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the development of science and technology, the hardware and software on the machine vision system has developed very mature. In terms of hardware, high-precision, high-resolution, high-speed scanning cameras have been widely used in aerospace, industrial control, video surveillance and other fields. At the same time, high-performance computers have become an indispensable part in various fields of society. . In terms of software, with the continuous in-depth research of a large number of image processing algorithms, these image processing algorithms have been verified in practical applications and are widely used in the actual production process of its visual products. The continuous progress of software and hardware technology has made the robot technology has also been in-depth development. [0003] Computer r...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, many manufacturers have developed their own robots, but the functions of these robots can only perform the tasks of collecting environmental data and finding targets

However, in the special application of the computer room, the robot may need to collect the environmental parameters inside the cabinet, and the robots currently on the market do not have the ability to open the cabinet door
