Problems solved by technology

[0003] The existing technology generally uses rechargeable batteries to provide power for this type of robot. However, due to the limitation of battery capacity, it is difficult to provide power for the robot for a long time. Therefore, this type of robot usually has the function of automatic recharging. When it finds that it cannot use the charging stand for charging, it will turn on the recharging exploration mode to find the next charging stand that can be used. However, when there is only one charging stand that the robot cannot use temporarily in the working area, the robot will After the recharging exploration is completed, it stops at a certain position in the working area in a way that prompts the recharging exploration failure. Obviously, this approach is not only difficult to ensure that the robot can continue to charge for the first time when the charging stand can be used again. It will also cause the robot to excessively waste its own limited power during the invalid exploration process, which will affect the intelligence of the robot's recharging and the improvement of charging efficiency.

Embodiment 1

[0055] figure 1 It is a schematic flowchart of the method for charging a robot provided in Embodiment 1 of the present application, which may include the following steps:

[0056] S101: When the robot docks on the charging stand, determine whether the robot is in a charging state.

[0057] Wherein, the charging stand in this application belongs to the supporting equipment of the robot, and is usually used to assist the robot to obtain electric energy from the outside.

[0058] In one embodiment, the robot can actively dock on the charging stand by turning on the recharging exploration mode, or passively dock on the charging stand with the help of the user.

[0059] S102: If the robot is not charging, control the robot to perform an operation of adjusting pose or an operation of waiting on the spot.

[0060] In one embodiment, the operation of adjusting the pose of the robot includes adjusting the position of the robot itself on the charging base.

[0061] In one embodiment,...

Embodiment 2

[0064] Figure 2-a The schematic flowchart of the method for charging a robot provided in Embodiment 2 of the present application is a further refinement and description of steps S101 and S102 in Embodiment 1 above. The method may include the following steps:

[0065] S201: When the robot docks on the charging stand, collect the charging data of the robot, compare the collected charging data with a preset value, and if the collected charging data is less than or greater than the preset value, then Determine that the robot is not charging.

[0066] It should be understood that when the charging data is current data and the current data is less than a preset value, it can be considered that substantially no current flows through the robot or only a weak current flows through the robot. Therefore, in one embodiment, when the charging data is current data (voltage data), it may be determined that the robot is not in a charging state when the collected charging data is less than a...

Embodiment 3

[0100] image 3 The schematic flowchart of the method for charging a robot provided in Embodiment 3 of the present application is a supplement and description to the above Embodiment 1. The method may include the following steps:

[0101] S301: When the robot docks on the charging stand, determine whether the robot is in a charging state.

[0102] S302: If the robot is not charging, control the robot to wait in place.

[0103] Wherein, the above steps S301-S302 are basically the same as the steps S101-S102 in the first embodiment, and the specific implementation process can refer to the description of the steps S101-S102, which will not be repeated here.

[0104]S303: Determine again whether the robot is in the charging state, and if the robot is not in the charging state, control the robot again to perform the operation of adjusting the pose or the operation of waiting on the spot.

[0105] In one embodiment, the time for judging whether the robot is in the charging state a...

Abstract

This application is applicable to the field of robot technology, and provides a method for charging a robot and a robot, wherein the method for charging a robot includes judging whether the robot is in a charging state when the robot is docked on a charging stand, and if the robot If it is not charging, the robot is controlled to adjust the pose or wait on the spot. The present application can prevent the robot from attempting charging by recharging and exploring when the robot is not charging, which is beneficial to improving the intelligence and charging efficiency of the robot.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of robots, and in particular to a method for charging a robot, a robot and a computer-readable storage medium. Background technique [0002] With the advancement of science and technology, intelligent robots have begun to play an important role in people's daily life. For example, household cleaning robots can free users from tedious sweeping or mopping. [0003] The existing technology generally uses rechargeable batteries to provide power for this type of robot. However, due to the limitation of battery capacity, it is difficult to provide power for the robot for a long time. Therefore, this type of robot usually has the function of automatic recharging. When it finds that it cannot use the charging stand for charging, it will turn on the recharging exploration mode to find the next charging stand that can be used. However, when there is only one charging stand that the robot cannot use temporarily in the ...
