Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, the current modular robot is not mature, and many modular hardware have not yet been standardized
At the same time, the ever-changing robot task objects, different working environments, and the random combination of modular robots make the design of modular robots challenging.
Additionally, R&D technicians and manufacturers lack the tools to design modular robots

Embodiment 1

[0042] Example 1: A medical delivery robot with a modular design, which can realize unmanned autonomous navigation and be used for unmanned distribution of medicines and materials in hospitals. The medical delivery robot is mainly composed of four modules: a drive module, a sensor module, a power supply module and a computing software module, among which the sensors include infrared cameras, lidars and 2D cameras.

[0043] like figure 2 As shown, using the modular graphic representation method of the service robot of the present invention, the modular composition of the medical delivery robot and the connection method of each module can be visualized, and the modular design concept of the robot can be more completely displayed. The four actuator modules A1-4 and the wheel symbol represent the four drive wheel modules of the robot. At the same time the graphic shows how each actuator module and 6 connection interfaces are connected. The three sensors are represented by S1, S2 ...

Embodiment 2

[0044] Embodiment 2: A typical mobile robotic arm product (KUKA), the mobile robotic arm is usually used to carry objects in complex operating environments, such as to realize the transport of goods in an unmanned factory. From the perspective of modular design, the mobile manipulator consists of two modules: the manipulator and the mobile platform. The functions that the mobile platform needs to achieve are similar to those of the medical delivery robot in Example 1. In the process of graphically modular expression, it can be reserved. figure 2 The modular expression in the robot arm module, and the graphical expression of the mobile robot arm can be obtained only by extending and topology for the robot arm module.

[0045] like image 3 shown, the graphical expression in figure 2 On the basis of , six actuator modules A5-A10 are added, which represent the six modular joints of the robotic arm, while other remaining module symbols remain unchanged. It can be seen that th...

Abstract

The invention discloses a modular graphic representation method for a service robot, which comprises the following steps: establishing a plurality of connection interfaces for providing universal interfaces and interfaces for modular hardware, the connection interfaces comprising an environment interface, a mechanical interface, a data interface, a power interface and a security interface which are arranged in a concentric ring shape from outside to inside; for each hardware module in the service robot, a plurality of module identifiers in one-to-one correspondence with the hardware modules are graphically designed, and the hardware modules comprise a sensor module, a power module, an actuator module, a software module, a management module and a user interface module; module identification symbols are combined at will and connected to corresponding connection interfaces, and a service robot modular graph with specific functions is obtained; the connection mode between the modules of the robot and the composition relation between the whole robot and the modules are visualized, and meanwhile good expansibility and topology are achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of robot technology, and in particular relates to a modular graphic representation method of a service robot. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the continuous development of artificial intelligence technology, robots have been widely used in the service industry, such as catering delivery robots, cleaning robots and security robots. At the same time, modular robots have received more and more attention, and the modularization of robots will be a major trend in future robotics technology. [0003] Compared with traditional dedicated robots, modular robots have three advantages: [0004] 1) The advantage of low cost, that is, each module can be provided by different manufacturers and can be standardized design, which shortens the robot design cycle and reduces the production cost; [0005] 2) The advantage of easy maintenance, that is, due to the substitutability of the module, the replacement and ma...
