Robot distribution task scheduling method and system

Abstract

The invention discloses a robot distribution task scheduling method and system. The method comprises the following steps: a scheduling management background acquires a distribution area map and distribution position information; the scheduling management background receives the order tasks, and the grades of the order tasks are divided into common tasks, real-time tasks and emergency tasks; the scheduling management background confirms whether a robot is executing a delivery task in the system, if not, the robot is arranged for delivery, and if yes, task information of an idle robot and the robot executing the delivery task in the system is obtained; According to the information of each robot and the grade of the new order task, selecting a robot meeting the condition to carry out distribution. According to the emergency degree of the task, the task condition of each robot and the distance of each walking route, the scheduling robot is comprehensively selected for distribution, a new task does not need to be executed after the robot completes the original task, the storage space of the robot can be fully utilized, the invalid mileage of the robot is reduced, and the distribution efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to a robot distribution task scheduling system and method. Background technique [0002] Robots are increasingly used in the field of distribution, but when there are multiple robots in the system to perform distribution tasks, it is necessary to plan the delivery path of the robot and schedule the delivery tasks of the robots to shorten the delivery distance as much as possible , improve delivery efficiency. The existing delivery method is often that the robot delivers in order according to the delivery target point. During the delivery process, if there is a new task initiated, it is necessary to wait for the robot to complete the task and return before delivery, or arrange for a new robot to deliver. This method often fails to maximize the distribution benefits, and the robot often goes back and forth, repeating the path and wasting a lot of time. In addition, in actual operatio...

The existing delivery method is often that the robot delivers in order according to the delivery target point. During the delivery process, if there is a new task initiated, it is necessary to wait for the robot to complete the task and return before delivery, or arrange for a new robot to deliver. This method often fails to maximize the distribution efficiency, and the robot often goes back and forth, repeating the path, wasting a lot of time

In addition, in actual operation, the urgency of delivery tasks is often different. Some items need to be delivered immediately, while some items only need to be delivered within the specified time. If they are all treated equally, there will be delays in receipt and delivery If the situation occurs, it will seriously affect the timely delivery of items and reduce the quality of delivery.
