Efficient terminal distribution method applying automatic following robot and Internet of Things system

Abstract

The invention provides an efficient tail-end distribution method applying an automatic following robot and an Internet of Things system for industries such as express delivery. According to the method, an automatic following robot is required to be deployed in a tail-end distribution scene; compatibility upgrading is carried out on a cargo tracking system of a user, Internet of Things upgrading iscarried out on elevators, entrance guards and other devices in a tail-end distribution scene, and the tail-end distribution efficiency is improved through the steps of contact before arrival of cargoes, contact before distribution, distribution path planning, automatic following delivery, real-time distribution monitoring and the like. According to the method, existing mature technologies such asautomatic following, the Internet of Things and an artificial intelligence voice robot are effectively utilized, and a novel distribution method is provided. Compared with traditional manual distribution and low-efficiency unmanned vehicle distribution, beneficial man-machine function complementation is achieved. After the method provided by the invention is implemented, the automation and informatization of terminal distribution scenes such as residential areas and the like can be remarkably improved, the distribution success rate in unit time is improved, the burden of courier is reduced, and the cost of terminal distribution is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The technical fields covered by the present invention include but are not limited to: the Internet of Things, automatic follow-up, unmanned vehicles, smart cities and other fields, and particularly relates to an efficient terminal delivery method using automatic follow-up robots and Internet of Things systems. Background technique [0002] The high cost of terminal delivery scenarios has always been a problem for the express delivery industry. Although the modern express delivery industry has already realized the informatization and automation reform of goods in simple scenarios such as long-distance transportation and sorting centers through technologies such as digital tracking numbers and warehousing robots, in the terminal delivery range, express delivery companies still rely heavily on delivery. An inefficient combination of staff plus handheld terminals and tricycles. Although there are already fully automatic distribution robots such as express...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Specifically: First, the courier cannot communicate the delivery time with the recipient in advance, resulting in a high rate of invalid delivery and repeated delivery in residential areas on weekdays

Second, there are many access control supervisions in the community distribution scene, so that the courier often has to spend several minutes waiting for the residents to confirm their identity and open the door

Third, because the property usually prohibits the courier from driving the electric tricycle, the courier must carry the unpowered small cart with the tricycle, but carrying the small cart first needs to occupy the external space of the tricycle, reducing the single delivery volume

Secondly, if the small scooter is not properly fixed on the tricycle, it is easy to fall on the road and trigger traffic hazards

In addition, the small trolley can not effectively protect the goods, so that the courier does not have to worry about leaving the delivery outside the building when delivering in the residential building, which will cause some of the express to be stolen

Fourth, couriers have different delivery routes every day, but the daily delivery order and routes of couriers are mostly judged and decided by the couriers themselves based on experience, lacking comprehensive data support, so there are still problems in the determination of terminal delivery routes. Certain room for optimization

[0004] At present, the industry has not yet proposed a comprehensive solution to the above-mentioned problems. Since then, the present invention proposes an efficient terminal delivery method that applies automatic follow-up robots and Internet of Things systems
