Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the above allocation method, on the one hand, since the robots can be dynamically scheduled between different workstations, the movement paths of the robots in the inventory area are also dynamically changed, so that the movement paths between the robots assigned to different workstations may cross, It is easy to cause congestion and reduce the efficiency of task processing; on the other hand, since the service area of ​​the robot may cover the entire inventory area, this also increases the walking distance of the robot, which in turn increases the energy consumption of the robot

Embodiment 1

[0077] based on Figure 1a The provided system, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to reduce the congestion caused by the intersection of robot paths caused by the dynamic scheduling of robots among different workstations, provides a robot task assignment method, which divides inventory containers into Several inventory partitions, and respectively establish the binding relationship between the workstation and the target inventory partition and the binding relationship between the robot and the target inventory partition, thus, establish the binding relationship between the workstation and the robot through the target inventory partition, The robot only needs to move in a fixed area, avoiding the congestion caused by the crossing of the robot's movement path, and at the same time reducing the walking distance of the robot and reducing its energy consumption.

[0078] Such as Figure 1b As shown, it is a flowchart of a robot task assignment method provided by...

Embodiment 2

[0120] After binding workstations, robots, and corresponding inventory partitions according to the divided inventory partitions, during the process of corresponding order tasks, there may be unbalanced task loads among workstations, that is, some workstations have a large amount of tasks, and robots Overloaded operation, and some workstations have a small amount of tasks, some robots bound to the workstations are in an idle state or the task load is not saturated, resulting in a waste of robot resources. In this case, in order to improve the task processing efficiency and the utilization rate of the robot resources, the embodiment of the present disclosure adds dynamic scheduling of the robot on the basis of binding the robot to the workstation as described above.

[0121] Such as Figure 5 As shown in , it is a schematic flow diagram of scheduling robots for workstations with overloaded tasks, which may include the following steps:

[0122] S501: For target workstations whos...

Embodiment 3

[0129] refer to Figure 6 As shown, it is a schematic structural diagram of a robot task distribution device, including:

[0130] A division unit 601, configured to divide the inventory container into a plurality of inventory partitions according to preset logic;

[0131] The first determining unit 602 is configured to determine the first time elapsed for the robot to reach each workstation from each inventory partition, and bind the target inventory partition for each workstation according to the first time elapsed;

[0132] The second determining unit 603 is configured to determine a second elapsed time for the robot to reach each target inventory partition from the current location, and bind each robot to the target inventory partition according to the second elapsed time.

[0133] In an optional implementation manner, the division unit includes:

[0134]a first determining module for determining a third elapsed time for the robot to reach the workstation from each invent...

Abstract

The invention provides a robot task allocation method and device, electronic equipment and a storage medium. The robot task allocation method comprises the steps that an inventory container is divided into a plurality of inventory partitions according to preset logic; determining first time loss of the robot from each inventory partition to each work station, and binding a target inventory partition for each work station according to the first time loss; and determining second time loss of the robot from the current position to each target inventory partition, and binding the target inventory partition for each robot according to the second time loss. According to the robot task allocation method provided by the embodiment of the invention, congestion caused by dynamic scheduling of the robot is avoided, in addition, the walking distance of the robot is reduced, and the energy consumption overhead of the robot is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of intelligent warehouse management, in particular, to a robot task assignment method, device, electronic equipment and storage medium. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of e-commerce, the amount of goods stored in warehouses is huge. How to transport the stored goods to designated areas more efficiently and quickly, reduce the accumulation of goods, and achieve smooth logistics are urgent problems in warehouse management. [0003] In the prior art, the idle time of picking goods at workstations is reduced by dynamically allocating robots to workstations, and the efficiency of warehouse operation is increased. That is, each time according to the robot resources occupied by the current workstation, the robot is dynamically assigned to the workstation with the largest number of missing robots among all workstations, and the assigned robot is bound to the workstation. After the t...
