Intelligent dispatching system and method for hospital material conveying robot

Abstract

The invention discloses an intelligent dispatching system and method for hospital material conveying robots, and the system belongs to a composition module of a conveying system, and comprises a dispatching platform and a robot cluster. The dispatching platform is used for managing a conveying work order, calculating a conveying path according to the conveying work order, judging whether an automatic conveying solution is carried out or not, and dispatching a proper robot in the matched robot cluster to complete the conveying work order when the automatic conveying solution is carried out; and the robot cluster completes a conveying task according to a conveying work order received by the automatic conveying solution, and feeds back the conveying task to the scheduling platform after the conveying task is completed. According to the invention, by establishing the transport planning system and the transport robot cluster, asynchronous scheduling of multiple robots is supported, parallelism of multiple transport tasks is supported, appropriate robots are matched according to specific rules, the shortest path is planned, the transport capacity of the robots is maximized, and scheduling transport is reasonably realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of using robots to realize material delivery services, in particular to a smart scheduling system and method for hospital material delivery robots. Background technique [0002] The hospital's central transport service is open to all patients involved in the hospital. It is an important business in the hospital's logistics management. It is mainly responsible for the transport and delivery of items, and the delivery of specimens, etc., to help the circulation of physical objects in various departments of the hospital. There are many, complex and miscellaneous characteristics in the distribution of materials. [0003] The traditional manual transportation method has high cost of manpower consumption and material management, high error rate, timeliness is difficult to guarantee, process is difficult to track and trace, and there is no clear distinction between people flow and logistics flow, and the intersecti...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, the disadvantages of the above-mentioned system include: the equipment is too simple, the load capacity of the transfer bottle is only below 5kg, and the capacity of the transfer bottle is very small resulting in a small amount of single transfer, so only a small amount of small and light items can be transferred (for example: small Samples, medicines, receipts, etc.), resulting in a large number of infusions and long-term doctor-ordered medicines that the hospital needs to transport in a large number during peak hours (7:00 to 9:00) are actually unable to be delivered; the transmission efficiency is very low, and an air compressor can only transmit one at a time. The transmission bottle, therefore, although the single absolute transmission speed is very fast, due to the small number of air compressors in general, the waiting time is long and the actual transmission speed is slow; the stability and safety are not enough, and it is easy to cause physical damage to the specimen and blood. Altered, resulting in inaccurate test results and failure of transfused blood

[0010] But this delivery robot system also has the following defects: (1) the clean and dirty materials of the hospital should be transported separately, in order to reduce the risk of cross-infection or disease transmission

(2) The delivery route is fixed, without considering the high degree of complexity of the hospital building, and there is no condition for opening a dedicated route for delivery robots

(3) At the same time, the flow of people in the hospital changes greatly with time, resulting in a change in the complexity of the route

Delivery robot resources are not maximized
