Abstract

The invention relates to a wireless charging method and system for an outdoor robot, and the method comprises the steps that a charging platform transmits a broadcast code in one or more wireless charging regions through an infrared signal, wherein the broadcast code comprises a signal representing that the wireless charging region is idle; the robot receives the broadcast code under the conditionthat the robot passes through an infrared signal radiation area corresponding to the wireless charging area, and determines whether to charge or not; if the robot is charged, the robot linearly movesto a wireless charging area of the charging platform for charging according to the infrared signal. According to the embodiment of the invention, information interaction is carried out through the infrared signals, the positioning accuracy can be ensured based on the linearity of infrared light transmission, the cost of the infrared emitter and the infrared receiver is low, and the cost of charging equipment can be reduced; meanwhile, the communication distance of the infrared signals is wide, the coverage range of the infrared signals can be enlarged, and the applicability and expansibilityof the product are improved.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of intelligent robots, in particular to a wireless charging method and system for outdoor robots. Background technique

[0002] With the development of fifth-generation communication technology and artificial intelligence technology, more and more intelligent robots have entered the public's field of vision, such as banks, restaurants, hospitals, etc., can see them, and even some service robots have entered our homes . Because most of the service robots are powered by batteries, in daily use, when the robot is exhausted or will be exhausted, we need to move it back to the charging place and charge it. Repeatedly charging the robot every day greatly reduces our experience of using the service robot, so the automatic charging function of the robot is very necessary. Automatic return to home charging can greatly improve the robot's intelligence and user experience.

[0003] Robots on the market mostly use ex...
