The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0034] Figure 1 An exemplary architecture 100 to which the garbage removal method and apparatus of the present application can be applied is shown.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the system architecture 100 may include terminal devices 101, 102, 103, a network 104, a server 105, a network 106, and robots 107, 108. The communication connection between the terminal devices 101, 102, 103 constitutes a topological network, the network 104 is used to provide a medium for the communication link between the terminal devices 101, 102, 103 and the server 105, and the network 104 is used to provide a medium for the communication link between the server 105 and the robots 107, 108. The networks 104 and 106 may include various connection types, such as wired, wireless communication links or optical fiber cables, etc.

[0036] Users can use terminal devices 101, 102, 103 to interact with server 105 through network 104 to receive or send messages, etc. Terminal devices 101, 102, 103 can be hardware devices or software that support network connection for data interaction and data processing. When terminal devices 101, 102, 103 are hardware, they can be various electronic devices that support network connection, information acquisition, interaction, display, processing and other functions, including but not limited to smart phones, tablet computers, e-book readers, laptop portable computers and desktop computers, etc. When terminal devices 101, 102, 103 are software, they can be installed in the electronic devices listed above. It can be implemented as multiple software or software modules for providing distributed services, for example, or it can be implemented as a single software or software module. No specific limitation is made here.

[0037] The server 105 may be a server that provides various services, such as a background server that obtains a garbage removal request sent by a user through the terminal devices 101, 102, 103 and dispatches a target robot from multiple robots to perform the garbage removal service represented by the garbage removal request. As an example, the server 105 may be a cloud server.

[0038] It should be noted that the server can be hardware or software. When the server is hardware, it can be implemented as a distributed server cluster consisting of multiple servers, or it can be implemented as a single server. When the server is software, it can be implemented as multiple software or software modules (for example, software or software modules used to provide distributed services), or it can be implemented as a single software or software module. No specific limitation is made here.

[0039] It should also be noted that the garbage removal method provided in the embodiments of the present application can be executed by a server, or by a terminal device, or by a server and a terminal device in cooperation with each other. Accordingly, the various parts (e.g., various units) included in the garbage removal device can be all arranged in the server, or all arranged in the terminal device, or respectively arranged in the server and the terminal device.

[0040] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of terminal devices, networks, servers, and robots in the system is only illustrative. Any number of terminal devices, networks, servers, and robots may be provided as required. When the electronic device on which the garbage removal method is running does not need to transmit data with other electronic devices, the system architecture may only include the electronic device (e.g., server or terminal device) on which the garbage removal method is running.

[0041] Continue to refer Figure 2, shows a structural schematic diagram 200 of an embodiment of a garbage removal system, including a reservation platform 201, a robot management platform 202 and multiple robots 203.

[0042] The reservation platform 201 is used to obtain a garbage removal request representing a user's reservation for a garbage removal service; the robot management platform 202 is used to dispatch a target robot from a plurality of robots 203 to perform the garbage removal service according to the garbage removal request.

[0043] The robot 203 includes a moving device for realizing the movement of the robot, a storage device for storing garbage, an interaction device for interacting with a user, a communication device for communicating with other devices, and a control device for controlling the operation of each device of the robot.

[0044] The multiple robots 203 may be robots of the same structure and size, or robots of different structures and sizes. For example, according to the actual garbage collection and transportation situation, robots of different sizes, such as large, medium, and small, may be provided to meet different garbage collection and transportation needs of users.

[0045] As an example, a user may send a garbage removal request to the reservation platform 201 through an application, a mini-program, etc., specifying the type of garbage to be removed, the quantity or weight of the garbage, the user's location, the designated time for garbage removal, and other information. The robot management platform 202 may interact with the reservation platform 201 to obtain information about the garbage removal request received by the reservation platform 201 in real time, so as to dispatch an idle robot (not performing garbage removal service) from a plurality of robots 203 to perform the garbage removal service represented by the received garbage removal request according to the garbage removal request. Specifically, the target robot may move from the storage location to the user's location indicated by the garbage removal request, and the user may store the garbage in the storage device on the target robot. After the target robot obtains the garbage to be removed, it returns to the garbage disposal area. There are dedicated personnel in the garbage disposal area to handle the garbage in different garbage containers: for recyclable garbage, it is checked and counted by a dedicated person; for non-recyclable garbage, it is directly processed and dumped by a dedicated person; for empty containers, they are uniformly placed in the corresponding empty container shelf area by a dedicated person.

[0046] In some optional implementations of the present embodiment, the target robot is also used to move to a preset position to obtain a container corresponding to the garbage type according to the garbage type indicated by the garbage removal request; move to the user position indicated by the garbage removal request, instruct the user to put the garbage type into the container corresponding to the garbage type on the target robot, and provide the user with a preset type of reward based on the garbage information of the put garbage and the reward information corresponding to the garbage type.

[0047] As an example, different types of containers are placed on the container shelves in the robot standby area, and each type of container is provided with an identification that represents the type corresponding to the container. The type of container corresponds to the type of garbage one by one, and each container is used to store the corresponding garbage. The target robot can drive to the shelf through the system scheduling and navigation algorithm, and by identifying the identification of the container, pick up the container corresponding to the type of garbage indicated by the garbage removal service to be performed. Specifically, the target robot reaches the bottom of the container to be picked, lifts the container from the shelf through the lifting device, and fixes it through the self-locking device.

[0048] Based on the navigation algorithm, after the target robot moves to the user's position indicated by the garbage removal request, it can instruct the user to put the garbage of the garbage type into the container corresponding to the garbage type on the target robot through an interactive device (such as a touch screen). During the garbage placement process, the robot can determine the garbage information such as the weight and quantity of the garbage placed, and provide the user with a preset type of reward based on the garbage information of the placed garbage and the reward information corresponding to the garbage type.

[0049] The reward information may be, for example, an electronic red envelope, a reward coupon for performing the user's subsequent garbage removal service for free, etc. The amount of reward information may be determined based on the weight, quantity, and other garbage information. The garbage information is positively correlated with the reward information.

[0050] In this embodiment, corresponding reward methods and reward information can be set according to each type of garbage. As an example, corresponding to beverage bottle garbage (cans, plastic bottles, etc.), special containers for recycling bottles will be used for collection. This type of container has a circular feeding port. After the robot brings the container to the door, the user puts the beverage bottles into the circular feeding port one by one. The feeding port of this type of container is equipped with electronic devices such as photoelectric sensors to record the number of deliveries. The robot feeds back the counting information to the upstream system in real time for unit price billing. After the user completes the delivery, the system will push the corresponding reward information to the customer based on the number of deliveries.

[0051] As another example, for paper garbage (corrugated boxes, old newspapers, old books, etc.), special containers for recycling paper garbage are used for recycling. This type of container has multiple feeding slots, and paper garbage can be inserted into each slot. A weighing sensor is set at the bottom of the robot chassis or container, which can measure the weight of the delivered items in real time. The robot feeds back the weight information to the upstream system in real time for unit price billing. After the user completes the delivery, the system will push the corresponding reward information to the user based on the delivery weight.

[0052] As another example, for non-recyclable garbage, the garbage removal system only records the number of tasks and sets a weight limit to prevent users from throwing too much garbage and causing robot malfunctions.

[0053] It should be noted that the above example is only an exemplary description of providing preset types of reward information to users based on junk information and reward information, and does not limit it. According to actual conditions, more detailed junk classification and reward information can be set.

[0054] In this implementation, by providing rewards to users, users can be encouraged to actively sort garbage, which enhances their awareness of garbage sorting and improves the effect of garbage sorting.

[0055] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the target robot is further used to send a prompt message to the user's terminal device in a preset manner in response to determining that the target robot has moved to the user's position, so as to indicate that the user has found the target robot.

[0056] As an example, after the robot arrives at the user's location (for example, the user's door), it can call the user to open the door by sending a text message, making a phone call, triggering a doorbell (it can call a smart doorbell system to trigger the doorbell), etc.

[0057] In most cases, the types of garbage indicated in the user's garbage removal request include multiple types. In this case, the target robot can carry multiple containers corresponding to the multiple types of garbage. In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the target robot is further used to receive user interaction information through a visual interface; determine the type of garbage to be placed according to the interaction information, and instruct the user to place the garbage to be placed in the container corresponding to the type of garbage to be placed.

[0058] As an example, the target robot can display the types of garbage that can be placed to the user through a visual interface, wherein the displayed garbage types are generally multiple garbage types indicated in the user's garbage removal request. The user selects the types of garbage to be placed one by one, and the target robot displays prompt information through a visual interface, prompting the user to place the garbage to be placed into the corresponding container.

[0059] In order to improve the user's reservation efficiency and reservation experience, in some optional implementations of this embodiment, the robot management platform is also used to obtain the status information of multiple robots in real time and generate a robot status list; the reservation platform is also used to generate a reservable list instructing users to make reservations for garbage removal services based on the robot status list.

[0060] The robot status list displays the status information of all robots, including whether they are currently performing garbage collection tasks, when the current garbage collection tasks can be completed, whether they have been scheduled for garbage collection tasks, etc. Based on the robot status list, the reservation platform can obtain the time periods when idle robots can perform garbage collection tasks and obtain a list of available robots for reservation. Users can view the list of available robots through applications or mini-programs to select a suitable designated time for garbage collection and generate a garbage collection request.

[0061] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the reservation platform is also used to generate status progress information of the target robot performing the garbage removal service based on the robot status list for the user to view.

[0062] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the robot management platform is further used to disassemble the garbage removal service and determine at least one target robot for performing the garbage removal service from multiple robots.

[0063] It is understandable that when there are many types of garbage or a large amount of garbage in the garbage removal service, a single robot may not be able to complete the garbage removal service. In this case, the robot management platform can determine multiple target robots to complete the garbage removal service based on the type and weight of garbage that each robot can carry.

[0064] The system provided by the above-mentioned embodiment of the present application includes a reservation platform, a robot management platform and multiple robots. The reservation platform is used to obtain a garbage collection request representing a user's reservation for a garbage collection service; the robot management platform is used to dispatch a target robot from multiple robots to perform the garbage collection service according to the garbage collection request, thereby realizing door-to-door garbage collection service, reducing the user's garbage collection burden and improving user experience.

[0065] Continue to refer Figure 3 In order to further illustrate the process of mutual cooperation among various parts in the garbage removal system, a process 300 of an embodiment of the garbage removal system is shown, including a user 301, a reservation platform 302, a robot management platform 303, and a robot 304.

[0066] 1. User 301 currently has a demand for garbage removal, so he clicks on the mini program to enter the garbage removal reservation service. The user selects the garbage removal time, garbage type and other information according to the reservation list in the reservation platform 302, confirms the garbage removal service, and sends a garbage removal request to the reservation platform 302, which returns a reservation code to the user 301.

[0067] 2. The reservation platform 302 generates a garbage removal task list according to the garbage removal request of the user 301, and sends the garbage removal task list to the robot management platform 303.

[0068] 3. The robot management platform 303 disassembles the garbage removal task, determines the robot 304 that performs the garbage removal service for the user 301 , and issues the garbage removal task to the robot 304 .

[0069] 4. Robot 304 loads the corresponding container according to the garbage type and arrives at the user location of user 301 (generally the home address of user 301) at the scheduled collection time.

[0070] 5. Each robot feeds back its own status information to the robot management platform 303 during operation; the robot management platform 303 obtains the status information of multiple robots in real time and generates a robot status list. Thus, the reservation platform 302 generates a reservation list for users to reserve garbage removal services based on the robot status list.

[0071] 6. When the robot 304 performs the garbage removal task, the reservation platform 302 generates the status progress information of the robot 304 in real time according to the status information of the robot 304. The user 301 can view the status progress information of the robot 304 in real time through the applet.

[0072] 7. After the robot 304 arrives at the designated location, it initiates a telephone request to the user 301 to inform the user 301 that it has arrived at the user's location.

[0073] 8. The user opens the door and enters the reservation code on the robot 304 for verification.

[0074] 9. After verification, the robot 301 displays the types of garbage that can be placed to the user through a visual interface. The user selects the types of garbage to be placed one by one, and the target robot displays prompt information through a visual interface, prompting the user to place the garbage to be placed into the corresponding container. During the placement process, the robot determines the weight or quantity of the garbage placed by the user, and then gives the user a preset type of reward based on the user's garbage information and the reward information corresponding to the garbage placed.

[0075] 10. The user confirms that the garbage disposal operation is completed, and the robot 304 returns to the garbage disposal area. There are dedicated personnel in the garbage disposal area to handle the garbage in different garbage containers: for recyclable garbage, a dedicated person will check and count it; for non-recyclable garbage, a dedicated person will directly handle and dump it; for empty containers, a dedicated person will put them in the corresponding empty container shelf area.

[0076] Continue to refer Figure 4 , shows a process 400 of an embodiment of a garbage removal method, comprising the following steps:

[0077] Step 401, obtaining a garbage removal request representing a user's reservation for a garbage removal service.

[0078] In this embodiment, the execution subject of the garbage removal method (for example Figure 1 The terminal device or server in the system may obtain a garbage removal request representing a user's reservation for a garbage removal service.

[0079] As an example, a user can send a garbage removal request to the above-mentioned execution entity through an application or mini-program, specifying information such as the type of garbage to be removed, the quantity or weight of the garbage, the user's location, and the specified time for garbage removal.

[0080] Step 402: Determine a target robot for performing garbage removal service from a plurality of robots according to the garbage removal request.

[0081] In this embodiment, the execution entity may determine a target robot to perform the garbage removal service from a plurality of robots according to the garbage removal request.

[0082] The robot comprises a moving device for realizing the movement of the robot, a storage device for storing garbage, an interaction device for interacting with a user, a communication device for communicating with other equipment, and a control device for controlling the operation of each device of the robot.

[0083] The multiple robots can be robots of the same structure and size, or robots of different structures and sizes. For example, according to the actual garbage collection and transportation situation, robots of different sizes, such as large, medium, and small, can be set to meet the different garbage collection and transportation needs of users.

[0084] As an example, the execution entity dispatches an idle robot (not performing garbage removal service) from a plurality of robots according to the garbage removal request to perform the garbage removal service represented by the received garbage removal request.

[0085] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the execution entity may perform step 402 in the following manner: disassembling the garbage removal service, and determining at least one target robot for performing the garbage removal service from a plurality of robots.

[0086] It is understandable that when there are many types of garbage or a large amount of garbage in the garbage removal service, a single robot may not be able to complete the garbage removal service. In this case, the robot management platform can determine multiple target robots to complete the garbage removal service based on the types and weights of garbage that each robot can carry.

[0087] Step 403, performing garbage removal service by the target robot.

[0088] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned execution entity can perform garbage removal services through the target robot.

[0089] As an example, the target robot can move from the storage location to the user location indicated by the garbage removal request, and the user deposits the garbage into the storage device on the target robot. After the target robot obtains the garbage to be removed, it returns to the garbage disposal area. There are dedicated personnel in the garbage disposal area to handle the garbage in different garbage containers: for recyclable garbage, a dedicated person will check and count it; for non-recyclable garbage, a dedicated person will directly handle and dump it in a centralized manner; for empty containers, a dedicated person will put them in the corresponding empty container shelf area.

[0090] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the above execution subject may also perform the following operations:

[0091] First, the garbage information of the disposed garbage is determined by the target robot; then, a preset type of reward is provided to the user according to the garbage information and reward information corresponding to the garbage type of the disposed garbage.

[0092] Specifically, the target robot moves to a preset position to obtain a container corresponding to the garbage type according to the garbage type indicated by the garbage removal request; moves to the user position indicated by the garbage removal request, instructs the user to put the garbage type into the container corresponding to the garbage type on the target robot, and provides the user with a preset type of reward based on the garbage information of the put garbage and the reward information corresponding to the garbage type.

[0093] As an example, different types of containers are placed on the container shelves in the robot standby area, and each type of container is provided with an identification that represents the type corresponding to the container. The type of container corresponds to the type of garbage one by one, and each container is used to store the corresponding garbage. The target robot can drive to the shelf through the system scheduling and navigation algorithm, and by identifying the identification of the container, pick up the container corresponding to the type of garbage indicated by the garbage removal service to be performed. Specifically, the target robot reaches the bottom of the container to be picked, lifts the container from the shelf through the lifting device, and fixes it through the self-locking device.

[0094] After the target robot moves to the user's position indicated by the garbage removal request, the user can be instructed to place the garbage of the garbage type into the container corresponding to the garbage type on the target robot through an interactive device (such as a touch screen). During the garbage placement process, the robot can determine garbage information such as the weight and quantity of the garbage placed, and provide the user with a preset type of reward based on the garbage information of the placed garbage and the reward information corresponding to the garbage type.

[0095] The reward information may be, for example, an electronic red envelope, a free subsequent garbage removal service for the user, a reward coupon, etc. The amount of reward information may be determined based on the weight, quantity, and other garbage information. Garbage information is positively correlated with reward information.

[0096] In response to determining that the target robot has moved to the user's location, the target robot may send a prompt message to the user's terminal device in a preset manner to indicate that the user has found the target robot.

[0097] As an example, after the robot arrives at the user's location (for example, the user's door), it can call the user to open the door by sending a text message, making a phone call, triggering a doorbell (it can call a smart doorbell system to trigger the doorbell), etc.

[0098] In most cases, the types of garbage indicated in the user's garbage removal request include multiple types. In this case, the target robot can carry multiple containers corresponding to the multiple types of garbage. In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the target robot is further used to receive user interaction information through a visual interface; determine the type of garbage to be placed according to the interaction information, and instruct the user to place the garbage to be placed in the container corresponding to the type of garbage to be placed.

[0099] As an example, the target robot can display the types of garbage that can be placed to the user through a visual interface, wherein the displayed garbage types are generally multiple garbage types indicated in the user's garbage removal request. The user selects the types of garbage to be placed one by one, and the target robot displays prompt information through a visual interface, prompting the user to place the garbage to be placed into the corresponding container.

[0100] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the above execution subject may also perform the following operations:

[0101] First, status information of multiple robots is obtained in real time to generate a robot status list. Then, based on the robot status list, a reservable list is generated to instruct users to reserve garbage removal services.

[0102] The robot status list displays the status information of all robots, including whether they are currently executing garbage collection tasks, when the current garbage collection tasks can be completed, whether they have been scheduled for garbage collection tasks, etc. Based on the robot status list, the execution entity can obtain the time periods during which idle robots can execute garbage collection tasks and obtain a list of available robots for reservation. Users can view the list of available robots for reservation through applications or mini-programs to issue garbage collection requests.

[0103] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the above-mentioned execution entity can also generate status progress information of the target robot executing the garbage removal service according to the robot status list for the user to view.

[0104] Continue to see Figure 5 , Figure 5FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram 500 of an application scenario of the garbage removal method according to this embodiment. Figure 5 In the application scenario of.
