Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a wireless charging system and a charging method thereof, and in particular to a wireless charging system and a charging method thereof for a humanoid robot, and belongs to the technical field of manufacturing a wireless charging system for a humanoid robot and a charging method thereof. Background Art
[0002] A humanoid robot, also known as an anthropomorphic robot, now usually refers to an intelligent robot with a humanoid shape. Its movable joints are equipped with servos, which can swing its arms freely, walk autonomously, and complete a variety of tasks autonomously.
[0003] With the development of technology, humanoid robot technology has achieved breakthrough improvements, and humanoid robots in the future will play an increasingly important role in human production and life.
[0004] However, up to now, humanoid robots have limited size and the energy they can carry is limited. Therefore, they have to stop working regularly to replenish energy, which affects their work efficiency.
[0005] In the prior art, electric humanoid robots are the main form of humanoid robots, and their energy supply mainly depends on the batteries they carry. Among them, providing electricity through rechargeable batteries, such as rechargeable lithium batteries, is a mainstream form of power supply for existing electric humanoid robots. However, since rechargeable batteries, including lithium batteries, have low energy density, low endurance, and long charging time, humanoid robots driven by rechargeable batteries need to be charged frequently in a short period of time, which seriously affects the operating efficiency of humanoid robots.
[0006] In order to solve this technical problem, one method is to increase the number or capacity of batteries carried by the humanoid robot in order to improve its endurance and reduce the frequency of charging. However, this method will increase the cost of the humanoid robot and reduce its flexibility. At the same time, due to the increase in weight, it will also reduce the efficiency of energy utilization. The number or capacity of batteries carried by the humanoid robot obviously cannot be increased indefinitely. Therefore, this method has certain limitations in improving endurance.
[0007] Fast charging is a technology that can effectively shorten the charging time of humanoid robots and is worth considering. However, this technology also has problems such as high cost, insufficient safety, high requirements for charging line capacity, and affecting battery life. Although fast charging technology can help reduce the charging time of humanoid robots and solve the problem of battery life, it cannot completely solve the problem of battery life and will sharply increase its production cost.
[0008] Using a charging cable to connect a humanoid robot for charging can effectively solve its endurance problem. Such a humanoid robot does not need to stop working to charge, which can improve its work efficiency. However, the problem brought about by this is that the charging cable will reduce the flexibility of the humanoid robot, and it is easy for the cable to be entangled during work and affect its working process.
[0009] Wireless charging technology is expected to solve this problem.
[0010] However, simply using existing wireless charging technology still faces great technical challenges, because:
[0011] First, humanoid robots usually move constantly in a certain area when working, which brings great difficulties to the existing wireless charging system. Therefore, how to achieve efficient wireless charging of humanoid robots in operation becomes a very challenging technical problem. The solution to this technical problem is somewhat similar to the difficulty of refueling an airplane in the air.
[0012] Secondly, when providing dynamic and efficient wireless charging services for humanoid robots in operation, it is not only necessary to consider not affecting the working process of the humanoid robots, but also to ensure the efficiency of charging. At the same time, it is also necessary to consider the development and manufacturing costs of system equipment, etc., and the existing wireless charging technology cannot perfectly solve these problems;
[0013] Thirdly, there is a technical difficulty in the dynamic wireless charging of humanoid robots in all working conditions: when the humanoid robot walks, the distance between the wireless charging receiving unit and the transmitting unit is constantly changing. When the receiving unit quickly approaches the wireless charging transmitting unit, the energy density it receives will increase rapidly according to the electromagnetic law. It is difficult for the wireless charging transmitting unit to lower the transmission power in time. At this time, the receiving power of the wireless charging receiving end will increase rapidly, which can easily cause damage to the wireless charging receiving end equipment. Summary of the invention
[0014] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention specifically provides a humanoid robot wireless charging system and a charging method thereof, so as to implement dynamic and efficient wireless charging services under all working conditions for a humanoid robot in standing or moving operation, thereby improving the endurance and work efficiency of the humanoid robot and allowing it to play a greater role.

[0110] The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail below with specific embodiments.
[0111] Example 1
[0112] The present embodiment provides a humanoid robot wireless charging system for wirelessly charging a humanoid robot using a rechargeable battery as its power source when the humanoid robot is standing or moving, wherein the humanoid robot has a charging interface for charging its rechargeable battery.
[0113] like Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a humanoid robot wireless charging system provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown as follows:
[0114] A humanoid robot wireless charging system includes a base blanket 110, a ferrite 120, a wireless magnetic flux transmitting coil 130, a pressure sensor 141, a photoelectric sensor 151, a visual beacon 160, a visual camera 210, a wireless magnetic flux receiving converter 220, a wireless communication server 230, and a processor 300 with a built-in artificial intelligence learning processing system, wherein:
[0115] The base blanket 110, the ferrite 120, the wireless magnetic flux transmitting coil 130, the pressure sensor 141, the photoelectric sensor 151 and the visual beacon 160 constitute an integrated wireless charging blanket 100, wherein the base blanket 110 is used to be laid on the area where the humanoid robot 10 stands or moves, the ferrite 120 is laid on the base blanket 110, a plurality of wireless magnetic flux transmitting coils 130 are respectively embedded in the base blanket 110, and each wireless magnetic flux transmitting coil 130 also constitutes a wireless magnetic flux transmitting unit with its corresponding ferrite 120, a plurality of pressure sensors 141 are respectively arranged around or above the wireless magnetic flux transmitting coil 130, a plurality of photoelectric sensors 151 and a plurality of visual beacons 160 with different numbers or shapes are respectively arranged on the base blanket 110, and the visual beacons 160 with different numbers or shapes are used to mark different areas of the wireless charging blanket 100 and different environments in which they are located;
[0116] The visual camera 210 and the wireless magnetic flux receiving converter 220 are respectively arranged on the humanoid robot 10, wherein the visual camera 210 is a binocular wide-angle wearable stereo camera with a built-in rotating mechanism that can automatically adjust the shooting direction, and the wireless magnetic flux receiving converter 220 is provided with a charging plug that can cooperate with the charging interface of the humanoid robot 10, and the visual camera 210, the wireless magnetic flux receiving converter 220 and the wireless charging blanket 100 are also respectively provided with communication function modules and together with the wireless communication server 230 form a wireless charging local area network, and the wireless charging local area network is connected to and regulated by the processor 300, and the pressure sensor 141 and the photoelectric sensor 151 are also respectively connected to the processor 300 for information;
[0117] When the humanoid robot 10 walks onto the wireless charging blanket 100, the pressure sensor 141, the photoelectric sensor 151 and the visual camera 210 respectively obtain the real-time pressure information, photoelectric sensing information, position and posture and surrounding environment image information of the humanoid robot 10 on the wireless charging blanket 100, and the above information and the characteristic information of the rechargeable battery (not shown in the figure) of the humanoid robot 10 are also sent to the processor 300 through the wireless charging local area network. The processor 300 or the processor 300 with the artificial intelligence learning processing system turned on processes this information and then controls the electromagnetic flux transmission switch, intensity and direction of at least one wireless magnetic flux transmitting unit of the wireless magnetic flux receiving converter 220 placed on the humanoid robot 10. The wireless magnetic flux receiving converter 220 on the humanoid robot 10 receives the electromagnetic flux emitted by the wireless magnetic flux transmitting unit and converts it into current to charge the rechargeable battery (not shown in the figure) of the humanoid robot 10.
[0118] From the above description, we can see that:
[0119] The humanoid robot wireless charging system provided in this embodiment is a device including a base blanket, a ferrite, a wireless magnetic flux transmitting coil, a pressure sensor, a photoelectric sensor, a visual beacon, a visual camera, a wireless magnetic flux receiving converter, a wireless communication server and a processor, and the base blanket, ferrite, a wireless magnetic flux transmitting coil, a pressure sensor, a photoelectric sensor and a visual beacon constitute an integrated wireless charging blanket, the processor also has a built-in artificial intelligence learning processing system (i.e., an AI system), and the visual camera and the wireless magnetic flux receiving converter are placed on the humanoid robot. Therefore, it can be seen that not only the wireless charging blanket has a compact structure, a reasonable layout, and is easy to use and transfer, but also, under the premise of not affecting the operation of the humanoid robot, it can be laid in the existing humanoid robot standing or moving operation area with a rechargeable battery as its power source to provide it with dynamic and efficient wireless charging services under all working conditions, which can greatly improve the endurance and work efficiency, allowing it to play a greater role;
[0120] Since the humanoid robot wireless charging system provided by the present embodiment includes a visual camera, the visual camera can well observe the real-time posture and movement of the humanoid robot, and has a good observation angle and extremely high credibility. Therefore, judging the real-time position and posture of the humanoid robot and estimating its position and posture at the next moment by visual observation has extremely high accuracy and exact credibility, and can quickly and accurately determine the immediate and inferred positions of the humanoid robot and its wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter at the next moment, and efficiently and accurately transmit electromagnetic flux to it, thereby improving the charging efficiency of the humanoid robot;
[0121] Moreover, since the humanoid robot wireless charging system provided by the present embodiment also includes a plurality of pressure sensors and photoelectric sensors respectively arranged around or above the wireless magnetic flux transmitting coil, they can form a photoelectric, pressure and visual observation and determination system of the instant position and posture of the humanoid robot on the wireless charging blanket, either working alone or in combination, together with the visual camera, thereby providing a reliable source of information and basis for the processor to determine and predict the instant and next moment position and posture of the humanoid robot and its wireless magnetic flux receiving converter, further ensuring the high efficiency and accuracy of charging;
[0122] At the same time, in the humanoid robot wireless charging system provided by the present embodiment, the visual camera, the wireless magnetic flux transmitting coil, the wireless magnetic flux receiving converter and the wireless communication server form a wireless charging local area network connected to the processor, and the pressure sensor and the photoelectric sensor or the pressure sensing matrix and the photoelectric sensing matrix are connected to the processor, thereby forming an information transmission and processing system that can efficiently and timely obtain the real-time posture and position information of the humanoid robot on the wireless charging blanket and the real-time power information of the rechargeable battery of the humanoid robot, so that the rechargeable battery of the humanoid robot can be charged efficiently, accurately and dynamically, thereby fully realizing the purpose of improving the endurance and work efficiency of the humanoid robot and allowing it to play a greater role as proposed by the present invention.
[0123] As a preferred implementation, in the humanoid robot wireless charging system provided in this embodiment:
[0124] The base blanket 110 can be made of a polymer flexible flame-retardant material, the ferrite 120 can be a flexible ferrite sheet, and the wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter 220 can be designed as a put-on / take-off shoe / boot-shaped wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter, and the shoe / boot-shaped wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter can be worn / put on the sole of the humanoid robot 10.
[0125] like Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the shoe / boot sole structure of a shoe / boot-shaped wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter of a humanoid robot wireless charging system provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown as follows:
[0126] The shoe / boot shaped wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter has a shoe / boot sole plate including a flexible polymer base 221, a flexible ferrite sheet 222 fixed in the base 221, an electromagnetic flux receiving coil 223, a wireless communication device 224 and a microcontroller 225, wherein the flexible ferrite sheet 222 and the electromagnetic flux receiving coil 223 together constitute a wireless electromagnetic flux receiving unit, the wireless communication device 224 is used for wireless communication of the shoe / boot shaped wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter, and the microcontroller 225 is used for the overall operation regulation of the shoe / boot shaped wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter.
[0127] Obviously, through the above optimization process, that is, using polymer flexible flame-retardant material to make the base blanket and using flexible ferrite, the obtained wireless charging blanket can be bent and folded, thereby further facilitating use, movement and storage;
[0128] The optimized wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter, that is, the wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter is designed into a put-on / take-off shoe / boot shape, which can be easily worn / put on the soles of the feet of the humanoid robot. Not only will it not affect the operation and movement of the humanoid robot, but also the wireless charging blanket can more conveniently dynamically emit electromagnetic flux under all working conditions, thereby realizing efficient, dynamic and full-condition wireless charging of the humanoid robot.
[0129] Further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a pressure sensing matrix structure of a humanoid robot wireless charging system provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the photoelectric sensing matrix structure of a humanoid robot wireless charging system provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown as follows:
[0130] The multiple pressure sensors 141 arranged around or above each wireless magnetic flux transmitting coil 130 are orderly distributed in a point-like form, thereby forming each pressure sensing matrix 140 corresponding to each wireless magnetic flux transmitting coil 130. The pressure sensing matrix 140 is used to obtain the pressure generated by the sole of the humanoid robot 10 on the wireless charging blanket 100 and its pressure distribution information and send it to the processor 300;
[0131] The multiple photoelectric sensors 151 disposed on the base blanket 110 are orderly distributed in a point-like form, thereby forming one or more photoelectric sensing matrices 150 located on the base blanket 110. The photoelectric sensing matrix 150 is used to obtain the spatial position information of the soles of the humanoid robot 10 on the wireless charging blanket 100, including the height difference between the soles of the soles of the soles of the wireless charging blanket 100 and the projection position information of the soles of the soles of the soles of the wireless charging blanket 100, and send it to the processor 300;
[0132] The visual camera 210 is worn on the head, neck or torso of the humanoid robot 10 to obtain image information of the soles, legs, arms, torso, visual beacon 160 and working environment of the humanoid robot 10 and send it to the processor 300;
[0133] The processor 300 or the processor 300 with the artificial intelligence learning processing system turned on determines the instant foot position and overall posture of the humanoid robot 10 relative to the wireless charging blanket 100 and predicts its foot position and overall posture at the next moment based on the information obtained by the pressure sensor 141 / pressure sensing matrix 140, the photoelectric sensor 151 / photoelectric sensing matrix 150 and / or the visual camera 210, so as to determine the instant and next moment position and posture of the wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter 220, thereby controlling the emission switch, intensity and direction of the electromagnetic flux of at least one wireless electromagnetic flux transmitting unit near the instant position of the wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter 220 of the humanoid robot 10, and preparing the emission switch, intensity and direction control of the electromagnetic flux for at least one wireless electromagnetic flux transmitting unit corresponding to the wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter 220 at the next moment.
[0134] Obviously, arranging multiple pressure sensors and multiple photoelectric sensors in an orderly manner according to certain rules to form a pressure sensing matrix and a photoelectric sensing matrix respectively can more accurately and comprehensively obtain the instantaneous pressure, pressure distribution, posture, position and height difference of the soles of the humanoid robot's feet on the wireless charging blanket, and together with the visual camera, it constitutes a more efficient, comprehensive and accurate observation and measurement system of the instantaneous position and posture of the humanoid robot on the wireless charging blanket, thereby providing timely and accurate information for the processor to determine and predict the instant and next moment position and posture of the humanoid robot and the wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter, thereby ensuring efficient and accurate charging.
[0135] Furthermore, the processor of the humanoid robot wireless charging system provided in this embodiment also includes an artificial intelligence learning processing system. The artificial intelligence learning processing system establishes a positioning model for determining and predicting the immediate and next position and posture of the humanoid robot 10 and its wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter 220 on the wireless charging blanket 100 by learning the information obtained by the pressure sensor 141 and / or the photoelectric sensor 151, the visual camera 210 or the pressure sensing matrix 140 and / or the photoelectric sensing matrix 150, and the visual camera 210, and plans in real time a control rule for the server to switch on and off the electromagnetic flux emission and adjust the intensity of at least one wireless electromagnetic flux transmitting coil 130 near the immediate position of the wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter 220 of the humanoid robot 10 and to prepare for the electromagnetic flux emission and intensity adjustment of at least one wireless electromagnetic flux transmitting coil 130 corresponding to the wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter 220 at the next moment, and then uses this control rule to perform charging control on the rechargeable battery (not shown in the figure) of the humanoid robot 10.
[0136] Obviously, this embodiment fully absorbs the development achievements of existing artificial intelligence technology, utilizes the powerful autonomous learning ability and modeling processing ability of the artificial intelligence learning and processing system, obtains the real-time posture and position information of the humanoid robot on the wireless charging blanket and the real-time power information of the humanoid robot's rechargeable battery through the wireless charging local area network, and combines the humanoid robot's own weight, size, walking gait, walking habits and other parameters to establish a positioning model that can determine and predict the real-time and next-moment position and posture of the humanoid robot and its wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter on the wireless charging blanket, so as to plan in real time the control rules for the electromagnetic flux emission and intensity regulation of the humanoid robot and its wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter, so as to intelligently, efficiently and accurately implement charging control of the humanoid robot and its rechargeable battery.
[0137] To further help understand the humanoid robot wireless charging system provided in the above embodiment, whose processor determines the instantaneous position and posture of the humanoid robot on the wireless charging blanket and predicts its position and posture at the next moment based on the information obtained by the pressure sensor / pressure sensor matrix and / or the electrical sensor / photoelectric sensing matrix and the visual camera, detailed explanations are given below.
[0138] (1) The method in which the processor 300 determines the instantaneous sole position and overall posture of the humanoid robot 10 relative to the wireless charging blanket 100 and predicts the sole position and overall posture of the humanoid robot 10 at the next moment based on the information obtained by the pressure sensor 141 / pressure sensor matrix 140 specifically includes:
[0139] When the pressure sensor 141 / pressure sensor matrix 140 measures the pressure of the two soles of the humanoid robot 10 and the pressure distribution information is consistent, the processor 300 determines that the humanoid robot 10 is in a standing state at this moment, and then combines the position of the pressure sensor 141 that detects the pressure and the weight, stride distance, work requirements and walking habits of the humanoid robot 10 to determine the immediate sole position and overall posture of the humanoid robot 10 and predict its sole position and overall posture at the next moment;
[0140] When the pressure sensor 141 / pressure sensing matrix 140 detects only the pressure of one sole of the humanoid robot 10 or the instantaneous pressure of both soles of the humanoid robot 10 and its pressure distribution information, the processor 300 first determines that the humanoid robot 10 is moving. Then, the processor 300 determines the position of the sole of the humanoid robot 10 according to the position of the pressure sensor 141 that detects the pressure, and determines its moving direction according to the pressure distribution information of the sole. Then, based on the weight, stride distance, and walking habits of the humanoid robot 10 itself, combined with the above-determined sole position and moving direction, the immediate overall posture of the humanoid robot 10 is determined and its sole position and overall posture at the next moment are predicted, wherein:
[0141] When the pressure sensor 141 / pressure sensing matrix 140 detects the instantaneous pressure of the soles of the humanoid robot 10 and the pressure distribution information of each sole, the processor 300 first determines the lifted foot and the supporting foot of the humanoid robot 10 at this moment, that is, the sole in the area where the pressure is increasing is the supporting foot of the humanoid robot 10, and the sole in the area where the pressure is decreasing is the lifted foot of the humanoid robot 10;
[0142] Then, the processor 300 determines the overall posture of the humanoid robot 10 based on the weight, stride distance, and walking habits of the humanoid robot 10 and predicts the position of its feet and overall posture at the next moment.
[0143] (2) The method in which the processor 300 determines the instantaneous foot position and overall posture of the humanoid robot 10 relative to the wireless charging blanket 100 and predicts the foot position and overall posture at the next moment based on the information obtained by the photoelectric sensor 151 / photoelectric sensing matrix 150 specifically includes:
[0144] The processor 300 determines the distance between the sole of the humanoid robot 10 and the wireless charging blanket 100 according to the time when the light feedback signal emitted by the photoelectric sensor 151 / photoelectric sensing matrix 150 is received;
[0145] The processor 300 determines the projection position of the sole of the humanoid robot 10 on the plane of the wireless charging blanket 100 according to the feedback signal of the light emitted by the photoelectric sensors 151 at different positions in the photoelectric sensor matrix 150;
[0146] Based on the distance between the sole of the humanoid robot 10 and the wireless charging blanket 100 and the projection position on the plane of the wireless charging blanket 100, the instantaneous spatial position of the sole of the foot is obtained, and then combined with the size parameters and walking habits of the humanoid robot 10, the processor 300 determines the instantaneous sole position and overall posture of the humanoid robot 10 and predicts its sole position and overall posture at the next moment.
[0147] (3) The method in which the processor 300 determines the instantaneous sole position and overall posture of the humanoid robot 10 relative to the wireless charging blanket 100 and predicts the sole position and overall posture of the humanoid robot 10 at the next moment based on the information acquired by the visual camera 210 specifically includes:
[0148] First, the processor 300 determines the instantaneous spatial distance and position between the soles of the humanoid robot 10 and the surface of the wireless charging blanket 100 and the overall posture of the humanoid robot 10 according to the three-dimensional image information of the soles of the humanoid robot 10, legs, arms, torso, visual beacon 160 and the working environment taken by the visual camera 210 and the image relationship between the soles of the humanoid robot 10 and the surface of the wireless charging blanket 100;
[0149] Then, the processor 300 combines the size, walking gait and walking habit parameters of the humanoid robot 10 to predict the next foot position and overall posture.
[0150] (4) The specific method by which the processor 300 determines the instantaneous foot position and overall posture of the humanoid robot 10 relative to the wireless charging blanket 100 and predicts the foot position and overall posture at the next moment based on the information respectively obtained by the pressure sensor 141 / pressure sensing matrix 140, the photoelectric sensor 151 / photoelectric sensing matrix 150 and the visual camera 210 includes:
[0151] First, the position of the sole of the humanoid robot 10 and the overall posture of the humanoid robot 10 are determined and a trust score is given through the information obtained by the pressure sensor 141 / pressure sensing matrix 140. The distance between the sole of the humanoid robot 10 and the surface of the wireless charging blanket 100, the projection position of the sole of the humanoid robot 10 on the surface of the wireless charging blanket 100, and the overall posture of the humanoid robot 10 are determined and a trust score is given through the information obtained by the photoelectric sensor 151 / photoelectric sensing matrix 150. The overall posture of the humanoid robot 10 and the spatial position of its sole are determined and a trust score is given through the information obtained by the visual camera 210, wherein:
[0152] The result of the pressure sensor 141 / pressure sensing matrix 140 determining the position of the sole of the humanoid robot 10 is determined as a reliable level according to the trust score, and the result of the pressure sensor 141 / pressure sensing matrix 140 determining the overall posture of the humanoid robot 10 is determined as a credible level according to the trust score;

[0154] The visual camera 210 determines the overall posture of the humanoid robot 10 as a reliable level according to the trust score, and determines the spatial position of the sole of the humanoid robot 10 as a sub-reliable level according to the trust score;
[0155] Then, based on the above trust rating level, the reliable level information is taken as the determination result, and the sub-reliable level and credible level information are used as auxiliary references to give the evaluation results of the immediate foot position and overall posture of the humanoid robot 10 and the predicted results of its foot position and overall posture at the next moment.
[0156] (5) The specific method for the processor 300 of the artificial intelligence learning processing system to determine the instantaneous foot position and overall posture of the humanoid robot 10 relative to the wireless charging blanket 100 and predict the foot position and overall posture at the next moment based on the information obtained by the pressure sensor 141 / pressure sensing matrix 140, the photoelectric sensor 151 / photoelectric sensing matrix 150 and the visual camera 210 includes:
[0157] First, the processor 300 that has activated the artificial intelligence learning processing system establishes and continuously improves its intelligent positioning model for determining and predicting the immediate and next moment position and posture of the humanoid robot 10 and its wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter 220 relative to the wireless charging blanket 100 by processing, learning, and autonomously relearning the information obtained by the pressure sensor 141 / pressure sensing matrix 140, the photoelectric sensor 151 / photoelectric sensing matrix 150, and / or the visual camera 210, as well as the weight, size, walking gait, and walking habit parameters of the humanoid robot 10;
[0158] Then, the artificial intelligence learning processing system formulates in real time, based on the intelligent positioning model, a control rule for the processor 300 to control the electromagnetic beam emission switch, intensity and direction of at least one wireless magnetic beam transmitting unit near the instant position of the wireless magnetic beam receiving converter 220 of the humanoid robot 10, and at the same time, a preparatory rule is planned for at least one wireless magnetic beam transmitting unit corresponding to the wireless magnetic beam receiving converter 220 to prepare for the electromagnetic beam emission switch, intensity and direction control in the next moment;
[0159] Finally, the processor 300 regulates the charging operation of the rechargeable battery (not shown in the figure) of the humanoid robot 10 in the current state based on the control rules and preparation rules formulated and planned by its artificial intelligence learning processing system, combined with the real-time characteristic information of the rechargeable battery (not shown in the figure) fed back by the wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter 220 and the real-time working information of the wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter 220, and prepares for the charging of the rechargeable battery (not shown in the figure) of the humanoid robot 10 in the next state.
[0160] From the above description, we can see that:
[0161] In the humanoid robot wireless charging system provided in this embodiment, the pressure sensor / pressure sensing matrix, photoelectric sensor / photoelectric sensing matrix and visual camera can not only independently constitute an observation and measurement device for the instant position and posture of the humanoid robot on the wireless charging blanket, but can also be used in combination to constitute a more powerful and comprehensive observation and measurement system. Different observation and measurement devices or systems can obtain the instant position and posture information of the humanoid robot on the wireless charging blanket in different methods and from different dimensions, thereby helping the processor to determine and verify the instant position and posture of the humanoid robot on the wireless charging blanket in different methods and predict its position and posture at the next moment, thereby providing a basis for accurate and efficient dynamic wireless charging of the humanoid robot in all working conditions;
[0162] The method for the processor to determine and predict the position and posture of the humanoid robot on the wireless charging blanket based on the information obtained by the pressure sensor / pressure sensing matrix and / or the photoelectric sensor / photoelectric sensing matrix and the visual camera is simple, fast, clear, and can obtain reliable results, thereby ensuring accurate and efficient wireless charging of the humanoid robot in its full working state.
[0163] Since the artificial intelligence learning and processing system has powerful autonomous learning and modeling processing capabilities, it can establish a method to determine the instantaneous sole position and overall posture of the humanoid robot relative to the wireless charging blanket and predict its sole position and overall posture at the next moment through learning relevant historical data such as the overall posture and sole trajectory changes of the humanoid robot, including learning the detection data from the pressure sensor / pressure sensing matrix, the photoelectric sensor / photoelectric sensing matrix and / or the image data from the visual camera, and combining the processing and learning of the humanoid robot's own weight, size, walking gait and walking habit parameters and autonomous re-learning. The intelligent positioning model receives the instant position and posture of the converter and predicts its position and posture at the next moment. It can be seen that this model is an intelligent model that combines rules and data learning. This model can be used to extract motion data related to the humanoid robot. Since the working tasks performed by humanoid robots are usually fixed, this model can make sufficiently accurate judgments and predictions on the posture and trajectory of the humanoid robot after a period of learning. This is like after the intelligent agent has learned the entire set of movements of the humanoid robot, it can infer the subsequent posture and trajectory based on the current and previous motion characteristics, thereby providing guarantee for the intelligent wireless charging of the humanoid robot.

[0179] ③ The specific method of the processor 300 controlling at least one wireless electromagnetic flux transmitting unit to control the electromagnetic flux transmitting switch, intensity and direction through the intelligent transmitting mode of the artificial intelligence learning processing system is:
[0180] Turning on the artificial intelligence learning processing system built into the processor 300, so that the processor 300 is in an intelligent processing mode under the intelligent control of the artificial intelligence learning processing system;
[0181] The intelligent processor 300, through the autonomous learning, autonomous correction and re-learning functions of its artificial intelligence learning processing system, processes and learns the information obtained by the pressure sensor 141 / pressure sensing matrix 140, the photoelectric sensor 151 / photoelectric sensing matrix 150 and / or the visual camera 210 of the humanoid robot 10 walking on the wireless charging blanket 100, and combines the processing and learning of the weight, size, walking gait and walking habit parameters of the humanoid robot 10 to establish and continuously improve the intelligent positioning model for determining the instantaneous foot position and overall posture of the humanoid robot 10 relative to the wireless charging blanket 100 and predicting the foot position and overall posture of the humanoid robot 10 at the next moment, thereby determining the instantaneous position and posture of the wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter 220 and predicting its position and posture at the next moment;

[0183] When the humanoid robot 10 walks onto the wireless charging blanket 100, the intelligent processor 300 processes the relevant information obtained by the pressure sensor 141 / pressure sensing matrix 140, the photoelectric sensor 151 / photoelectric sensing matrix 150 and / or the visual camera 210, and combines the weight, size, walking gait and walking habit parameters of the humanoid robot 10, and determines the instantaneous position and posture of the wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter 220 according to its intelligent positioning model and predicts its position and posture at the next moment, and accordingly formulates a control rule for switching on and off the electromagnetic flux emission, intensity and direction control of at least one wireless electromagnetic flux transmitting unit near the instantaneous position of the wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter 220 of the humanoid robot 10, and plans a preparatory rule for preparing at least one wireless electromagnetic flux transmitting unit corresponding to the wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter 220 at the next moment for the emission, intensity and direction control of the electromagnetic flux;

[0185] ④ The specific method of the processor 300 controlling at least one wireless electromagnetic flux transmitting unit to perform electromagnetic flux transmitting switch, intensity and direction control through loss-proof variable power transmitting mode is:

[0187] When the sole of the humanoid robot 10 is far from the surface of the wireless charging blanket 100, the processor 300 controls the wireless charging transmitting unit or the wireless electromagnetic flux transmitting array to transmit the electromagnetic flux, so that the receiving power of the wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter 220 is slightly lower than its rated value, so as to avoid the increase of the density of the electromagnetic flux when the sole moves downward quickly, resulting in the wireless charging transmitting unit or the wireless electromagnetic flux transmitting array not adjusting in time and causing overload damage to the wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter 220;
[0188] When the processor 300 detects that the foot position of the humanoid robot 10 is approaching the wireless charging blanket 100 from far to near, the processor 300 controls the wireless charging transmitting unit or the wireless electromagnetic flux transmitting array to gradually adjust the transmission power of the electromagnetic flux from far to near, so that the energy power received by the wireless electromagnetic flux receiving converter 220 gradually approaches its rated value from small to large;

[0190] When the processor 300 can accurately and stably predict the motion trajectory of the foot of the humanoid robot 10, the processor 300 pre-starts and regulates a wireless magnetic flux transmitting unit or a wireless magnetic flux transmitting array composed of a plurality of wireless magnetic flux transmitting units near the next position of the corresponding wireless magnetic flux receiving converter 220 according to the predicted motion trajectory of the wireless magnetic flux receiving converter 220 determined by the foot position and overall posture of the humanoid robot 10 at the next moment, and the instant working information fed back by the wireless magnetic flux receiving converter 220 and the instant characteristic information of the rechargeable battery (not shown in the figure), and prepares for the emission switch, intensity and direction control of the electromagnetic flux, wherein:

[0192] When the wireless magnetic flux receiving converter 220 installed on the humanoid robot 10 moves away from the wireless magnetic flux transmitting unit or the wireless magnetic flux transmitting array from near to far, the processor 300 timely adjusts the transmitting law of the wireless magnetic flux transmitting unit or the wireless magnetic flux transmitting array according to the predicted movement trajectory of the wireless magnetic flux receiving converter 220 to ensure that the receiving power of the wireless magnetic flux receiving converter 220 is always close to the rated power.

[0195] Usually, humanoid robots will repeat a certain task, and the intelligent positioning model given by the artificial intelligence learning processing system has the ability of autonomous learning. It can further improve the accuracy of positioning and prediction of the intelligent positioning model by autonomously learning the historical motion data of the humanoid robot and extracting the motion data features as needed.
[0196] The intelligent positioning model's learning process of the humanoid robot's overall posture and foot trajectory related data not only includes the learning of the information obtained by the pressure sensor / pressure sensor matrix and / or photoelectric sensor / photoelectric sensing matrix, and the visual camera, but also includes the learning of the above data and the humanoid robot's past position judgment and posture prediction rules, and extracts the above humanoid robot's relevant motion feature data from them to continuously update and improve its intelligent positioning model.
[0197] It can be seen that the dynamic wireless charging of the humanoid robot when standing or moving is performed using any one of the humanoid robot wireless charging systems in Example 1. The specific method can adopt different methods according to requirements and needs, so as to achieve efficient, fast and safe wireless charging of the humanoid robot with a rechargeable battery as its power source in its standing or moving working conditions, which is flexible, convenient, safe and reliable.
