Robot management system and method

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a robot management system and method; wherein the system comprises a target robot which is used for transmitting the current software version information of at least one software service of the target robot to an agent robot; a proxy robot, which is used for sending the current software version information and the identity label of the target robot to the cloud server; a cloud server, which is used for determining a corresponding target software template according to the identity label of the target robot, and determining at least one piece of target software version information according to the target software template and each piece of current software version information; the proxy robot is also used for receiving a service updating command determined by the cloud server according to the at least one piece of target software version information, and instructing the target robot to perform software version updating through the service updating command. The software version information is integrated in the target software template, and the target robot is uniformly judged and indicated to update, so that multiple operations when the number of software services is too large are avoided, the time is saved, and the working efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a robot management system and method. Background technique [0002] At present, robots are usually used in hospitals to perform tasks; however, when there is a problem with the software in the robot and a hot update is required or the robot software needs to be upgraded, since each robot in the hospital runs in the local area network of the hospital, it is scheduled by the scheduling server. , the robot itself does not access the Internet, only the scheduling server itself can directly connect to the Internet, and because the scheduling server often also has a multi-layer network address translation (Network Address Translation) network structure isolation. Limited by network conditions, development / deployment personnel cannot use conventional tools such as remote desktops to directly complete the version upgrade operation, and often need t...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] At present, robots are usually used in hospitals to perform tasks; however, when there is a problem with the software in the robot and a hot update is required or the robot software needs to be upgraded, since each robot in the hospital runs in the local area network of the hospital, it is scheduled by the scheduling server. , the robot itself does not access the Internet, only the scheduling server itself can directly connect to the Internet, and because the scheduling server often has a multi-layer network address translation (Network Address Translation) network structure isolation

Restricted by network conditions, development / deployment personnel cannot use conventional remote desktop tools to directly complete the version upgrade operation, and often need to send staff to the hospital site to upgrade the software

Significantly reduced worker productivity and increased time to fix known issues

And because there are too many manual intervention steps, the probability of service upgrade error is increased

[0003] Moreover, due to the differences in the hardware configurations of robots actually produced, the software service versions supported by robots of the same type and different configurations will also have different maximum version limits, which further increases the complexity of configuring various services and versions on the robot. Increased chance of upgrade errors
