Route guidance system for man-machine cooperation environment and man-machine cooperation method

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of robots. The invention discloses a route guidance system for a man-machine cooperation environment, the man-machine cooperation environment can be used for cooperative work of at least one robot and at least one moving body, and the route guiding system comprises a robot orientation detection unit, a safety partition unit, a route planning unit and a route guiding unit; the invention further discloses a man-machine cooperation method. In the man-machine cooperation environment, the areas with different safety levels are divided according to the position information and the action information of the robot, and the moving route is planned according to the divided areas with different safety levels in combination with the starting point, the ending point and the moving speed of the moving body, so that the space in the man-machine cooperation environment can be more efficiently used; and the moving body in the man-machine cooperation environment can pass through the working area of the robot more efficiently, and then the working efficiency of the robot and workers in the man-machine cooperation environment is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to a route guidance system and a human-machine collaboration method for a human-machine collaboration environment. Background technique [0002] Due to its load weight and high-speed operation, industrial robots need to set up safety fences around the robot's range of motion to separate humans from machines and ensure personal safety. However, the safety fence limits the teaching and guidance of the operator to the robot during the actual production process. Therefore, the emergence of collaborative robots enables humans and machines to coexist in the same work area. The current human-machine mode between collaborative robots and humans is a passive defense mechanism. For example, when a person enters a specified area near the robot (usually A radius circle with the robot as the center) will trigger the defense mechanism of the robot, or slow down or stop running. But as the robot'...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] In order to solve the problem that the unreasonable division of safety areas in the human-computer cooperation system and method in the prior art causes the human-machine cooperation to fail to achieve the best effect, the present invention provides a route guidance system for the human-machine cooperation environment, which is based on the robot The real-time location information, location change information and real-time action information and action change information are divided into different levels of safety areas, and the moving routes of moving objects are designed according to different levels of safety areas, so as to maximize the efficiency of space utilization while ensuring the safety of personnel, and improve Space utilization, so that the moving body can pass through the robot work area quickly, safely and effectively, so that the cooperation between humans and collaborative robots can achieve the best effect, and improve the working efficiency of collaborative robots
