Abstract

The invention discloses a robot automatically finding a charging station and a system and method for automatically finding a charging station thereof. The robot at least comprises an infrared receiving module, a video acquiring module, a mileage measuring device, a motion device, and a master control system. The infrared receiving module receives an infrared target tracking signal and an infrared target butting signal of a charging station in order to achieve automatic butting of the robot and the charging station with three stages including target researching, target tracking, and target butting. The video acquiring module acquires information required by face detection and emotion recognition and information required by environmental perception and abnormity detection. The mileage measuring device measures information of mileage travelled by the robot. The motion device receives a command from the master control system in order to drive the robot to walk, completes ultrasonic ranging in a walking process, feeds a result of the ultrasonic ranging back to the master control system in order to execute subsequent control, and detects the electric quantity of a battery in a robot service process and feeds the electric quantity back to the master control system in order to determine whether charging is required. The master control system integrates acquired information in order to control the robot. The system and method may fast achieve reliable butting between the robot and the charging station and increase a butting success rate.
