It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a method for updating robot operating parameters according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to various situations regarding how to update robot operating parameters. The method for updating robot operating parameters of the present invention can be implemented by the cooperation of a server and a robot, specifically by the cooperation of a remote terminal and an application program in the robot.

[0044] This method can be executed by a robot operating parameter updating device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software and integrated into an electronic device that carries the function of updating robot operating parameters, such as a server. Specifically, it can be a remote terminal, such as a PC, tablet, or mobile phone. Figure 1 As shown, the method for updating robot operating parameters in this embodiment includes:

[0045] S110. Based on the configuration information retrieval request, obtain the current configuration information corresponding to the target operating parameters of the target robot, and display the current configuration information on the front-end page.

[0046] In this embodiment, the configuration information acquisition request refers to a request to obtain configuration information. Optionally, the configuration information acquisition request may include robot name, robot identifier, robot type, etc. The target robot refers to a robot that requires remote parameter updates. Optionally, the target robot is configured with an application that supports remote settings. The target operating parameters refer to the operating parameters of the target robot. Optionally, the target operating parameters include at least one of the following: robot application parameters or robot control system parameters. Robot application parameters refer to parameters related to applications in the robot, such as parameters of food delivery apps, hotel apps, medical apps, etc. Robot control system parameters refer to parameters related to the robot control system, such as Robot system parameters, such as camera height, camera roll angle, camera pitch angle, camera lateral offset, and camera longitudinal offset, etc. The current configuration information refers to the configuration information obtained at the current moment corresponding to each parameter item in the target operating parameters.

[0047] Optionally, a configuration information retrieval request can be generated based on information such as the robot name or robot identifier of the target robot requiring remote parameter updates, input by the user through the front-end interactive page; alternatively, it can be generated based on the user's permission binding relationship with the target robot in the front-end interactive system; or, after a certain period of time following each update of the controllable robot, a new configuration information retrieval request can be automatically generated for that robot. Then, based on the configuration information retrieval request, a configuration information upload command is sent to the application in the target robot that supports remote settings; correspondingly, the application in the target robot can report the current configuration information of the target robot's target operating parameters to the remote terminal based on the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) instant messaging protocol. The remote terminal can then receive the current configuration information corresponding to the target robot's target operating parameters.

[0048] Furthermore, the remote terminal can display the current configuration information on the front-end page. Specifically, the current configuration information can be rendered onto the user's front-end page, such as the web page on the user's computer.

[0049] For example, taking a computer as an example, if the current configuration information includes version information, displaying the current configuration information on the front-end page can be done by determining the target parameter item to be rendered and the corresponding edit box based on the version information; matching the current configuration information with the target parameter item and filling it into the corresponding edit box for rendering and display.

[0050] The version information can refer to the version corresponding to the current configuration information, such as different versions of a food delivery app. Different versions may have different parameters, and the same parameter may have different value ranges or data types.

[0051] Specifically, the target parameter items to be rendered and their corresponding edit boxes can be determined based on the version information. Then, the current configuration information is matched with the target parameter items, and the current configuration information is filled into the corresponding edit boxes for rendering and display. This method is compatible with different versions of the robot, improving its applicability.

[0052] Understandably, rendering the current configuration information allows users to clearly and intuitively understand the details of the target operating parameters, so that these parameters can be modified later.

[0053] S120. Based on the modification instructions applied to the front-end page for the current configuration information, determine the updated configuration information for the target running parameters.

[0054] In this embodiment, updating configuration information refers to the configuration information after updating the configuration information of the target running parameters.

[0055] Specifically, users can modify the current configuration information of the target running parameters on the front-end page; correspondingly, based on the modification operation on the front-end page, the modification instruction for the current configuration information is determined, and the updated configuration information of the target running parameters is generated.

[0056] S130. Send the updated configuration information to the target robot so that the target robot can update the target operating parameters according to the updated configuration information.

[0057] Specifically, the updated configuration information can be sent to the target robot's application based on the MQTT instant messaging protocol; in turn, the target robot's application sends the corresponding updated configuration information to the target robot, and the target robot updates its target operating parameters according to the updated configuration information.

[0058] The technical solution of this invention obtains the current configuration information corresponding to the target operating parameters of the target robot based on a configuration information acquisition request, displays the current configuration information on the front-end page, then determines the updated configuration information of the target operating parameters based on the modification instructions on the front-end page, and finally sends the updated configuration information to the target robot so that the target robot can update the target operating parameters according to the updated configuration information. This technical solution enables remote updating of robot operating parameters, saves labor costs, and improves the efficiency of updating robot operating parameters.

[0059] Optionally, when updating configuration information, for example, when the user clicks... Figure 2B The "one-click client deployment" option will not deploy to the robot if no settings have changed. If changes have occurred, only the changed parts will be deployed. A unique taskId (tentatively UUID) will be generated in the backend, and the same taskId will be used for task identification until the current operation is completed.

[0060] Example 2

[0061] Figure 2A This is a flowchart of a method for updating robot operating parameters according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. This embodiment further optimizes the above embodiments and provides an alternative solution.

[0062] like Figure 2A As shown, the method for updating robot operating parameters in this embodiment may include:

[0063] S210. Based on the configuration information retrieval request, obtain the current configuration information corresponding to the target operating parameters of the target robot, and display the current configuration information on the front-end page.

[0064] The target operating parameters must include at least one of the following: robot application parameters or robot control system parameters. For example, such as... Figure 2B As shown, the front-end page displays the target parameter items of the robot control system parameters (robot configuration) and the current configuration information in the corresponding edit boxes, as well as the edit button; among them, the target parameter items include three-dimensional vision, camera height, camera roll angle, camera pitch angle, camera lateral offset, and camera longitudinal offset.

[0065] It's important to note that the configuration information data format can be hierarchically defined as modules, groups, and items. Modules represent modules, such as app configuration and robot configuration. Each module contains groups, and each group contains items (specific attribute entries). This data structure ensures that no two items within the same module have the same key. Furthermore, setting up multiple modules allows different modifications to be independent of each other. Each modification is only allowed to be applied to one module at a time, and the same applies to deployments; simultaneous modifications to multiple modules are not permitted. In other words, modifying app configuration and modifying robot configuration are independent of each other. Then, after the backend (remote terminal) returns this data format to the frontend, the frontend dynamically renders the page to display the configuration information.

[0066] For example, the current configuration information reported by the robot as a JSON string can be structured as follows:

[0067]

[0068]

[0069] In other words, the robot can obtain requests based on the configuration information and simultaneously report the current configuration information of the target operating parameters under both the APP configuration and the ROBOT configuration. The target operating parameters in the APP configuration include the current APP version information. It's understandable that the same type of robot, such as a food delivery robot, may have multiple models, and different models may be compatible with different food delivery APP versions. Furthermore, different versions of food delivery APPs may have different adjustable operating parameters and ranges for each parameter. Therefore, including version information when reporting configuration information allows the front-end to quickly determine the content to be rendered based on the version.

[0070] The system uses a JSON-like data format to dynamically render the data reported by the robots, facilitating future modifications to other configuration information and ensuring compatibility with more robot types. For example, different types of robots have different installed apps, which can be dynamically supported in the backend. Different robot types can be identified using a key-value pair, with the corresponding key representing the app version that can be remotely configured, and the backend can dynamically configure these keys and values. This allows for differentiation between food delivery and hotel apps, such as: foodApp,v1.10.0, hotelApp,v1.1.0. The strings are comma-separated and paired. To add different types of robots, simply modify the strings according to the rules, adding the key and value.

[0071] S220. Based on the modification instruction applied to the current configuration information of the target parameter item on the front-end page, determine the modified configuration information of the target parameter item.

[0072] Specifically, users can modify the current configuration information of the target parameter item on the front-end page; correspondingly, the remote terminal can generate a modification instruction for the current configuration information based on the modification operation on the front-end page, and then determine the modified configuration information of the target parameter item according to the modification instruction.

[0073] S230. Verify the modified configuration information based on the limitation information of the target parameter item; if the verification is successful, proceed to S240; if the verification fails, proceed to S270.

[0074] In this embodiment, the constraint information refers to the specifications for the target parameter item, which may include the threshold range of the parameter value, data type, and data format. The so-called modification configuration information refers to the configuration information after the user modifies the target parameter item through the front-end page.

[0075] Specifically, the modified configuration information can be validated based on at least one of the limiting information of the target parameter item. For example, combined with... Figure 2B The target operating parameters are the robot control system parameters (robot configuration). The limiting information for the target parameter item, camera height, is as follows: the threshold range of the parameter value is 50-150, and the data type is integer. If the modified configuration information for the target parameter item, camera height, is 80, then the modified configuration information meets the threshold range of the parameter value; if the modified configuration information for the target parameter item, camera height, is 80.25, then the modified configuration information does not meet the data type requirements.

[0076] S240. Ensure the "Send" button on the front-end page is operable.

[0077] Specifically, it allows you to control whether the "send" button on the front-end page is operable, such as highlighting the "send" button.

[0078] S250. Based on the command issued to the issue button, the modified configuration information is determined to be updated configuration information.

[0079] Specifically, after modifying the target operating parameters, the user can click the "Submit" button; accordingly, based on the click operation of the "Submit" button, a "Submit" command is generated, confirming the modified configuration information as updated configuration information.

[0080] For example, if the camera height in the robot configuration changes, the data format for updating the configuration information could be,

[0081]

[0082] This data format includes moduleCode and jsonData. moduleCode identifies the module in the robot being modified, and jsonData contains the specific content modified within that module. Here, 'a' is the name of the modified key, 'value' is the value sent after modification, and 'type' is the type of the current value, used to verify whether the value is correct.

[0083] S260. Send the updated configuration information to the target robot so that the target robot can update the target operating parameters according to the updated configuration information.

[0084] It's important to note that when distributing updated configuration information, only the changed item and its corresponding module need to be sent. The robot then updates the specific values ​​based on the keys of the module and item. For example, if the camera height (item) in the robot configuration (module) changes, only that camera height (item) and its corresponding robot configuration (module) are sent to the robot; accordingly, the robot updates the specific values ​​based on the camera height (item) and its corresponding robot configuration (module) key.

[0085] S270, Output verification failure information and control the "send" button on the front-end page to be in an inoperable state.

[0086] In this embodiment, the verification failure message is used to indicate that the modified configuration information does not conform to the specifications and to remind the user to make the changes again, such as "value out of range".

[0087] Specifically, a verification failure message can be displayed in the form of a pop-up window, and the send button on the control page can be made inoperable, for example, the send button can be grayed out and not respond to click commands applied to the send button; or the send button can be hidden or shown.

[0088] The technical solution of this invention obtains the current configuration information corresponding to the target operating parameters of the target robot according to the configuration information acquisition request, and displays the current configuration information on the front-end page. Then, according to the modification instruction on the front-end page for the current configuration information of the target parameter item, the modified configuration information of the target parameter item is determined. The modified configuration information is verified according to the limitation information of the target parameter item. If the verification is successful, the send button on the front-end page is made operable. According to the send instruction on the send button, the modified configuration information is determined as the updated configuration information, and then the updated configuration information is sent to the target robot so that the target robot updates the target operating parameters according to the updated configuration information, thereby obtaining the latest configuration information of the target operating parameters. The latest configuration information and the updated configuration information are used to determine whether the target operating parameters have been successfully updated. The above technical solution ensures the accuracy of the configuration information of the target operating parameters by verifying the configuration information of the target parameter items.

[0089] Based on the above embodiments, as an optional approach of this disclosure, the latest configuration information of the target operating parameters can also be obtained; and the success of the target operating parameters update can be determined based on the latest configuration information and the updated configuration information.

[0090] Specifically, after sending the updated configuration information of the target operating parameters to the target robot, the system can also obtain the latest configuration information of the target operating parameters uploaded by the target robot. Then, the latest configuration information is compared with the updated configuration information. If the latest configuration information and the updated configuration information are consistent, it is determined that the target operating parameters have been successfully updated.

[0091] Understandably, by obtaining the latest configuration information of the target operating parameters and verifying the updated configuration, it is possible to ensure that the robot has actually updated the target operating parameters, so that users can understand the update status of the target robot's target operating parameters; at the same time, it ensures that the configuration information of the operating parameters is synchronized between the remote terminal (backend server) and the robot.

[0092] Example 3

[0093] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a method for updating robot operating parameters according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. This embodiment applies to situations where robot operating parameters are updated. The method for updating robot operating parameters of the present invention can be implemented by the cooperation of a server and a robot, specifically by the cooperation of a remote terminal and an application program in the robot.

[0094] This method can be executed by a robot operating parameter updating device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software and integrated into an electronic device that performs the robot operating parameter updating function, such as within the robot itself or its application program. Figure 3 As shown, the method for updating robot operating parameters in this embodiment may include:

[0095] S310. Based on the configuration information acquisition request, upload the current configuration information corresponding to the target operating parameters of the target robot.

[0096] In this embodiment, the target operating parameters include at least one of the following: robot application parameters or robot control system parameters.

[0097] Specifically, the application in the target robot can obtain requests based on the configuration information sent by the remote terminal, and upload the current configuration information of the target robot's target operating parameters to the remote terminal based on the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) instant messaging protocol.

[0098] S320: Obtain the updated configuration information issued.

[0099] In this embodiment, updating configuration information refers to updating the configuration information after updating the target running parameters.

[0100] Specifically, the application in the target robot can obtain updated configuration information sent from the remote terminal. Optionally, the robot will enter an update state, and an update lock exists until the update task is completed (successfully or unsuccessfully), preventing further pushes of configuration information updates to the robot. This avoids the robot receiving new updated configuration information before its previous task is completed, which could lead to update failure or corrupted update data.

[0101] S330. If it is determined that the updated configuration information includes the configuration information corresponding to the robot control system parameters, then determine whether the target robot is in an idle state. If yes, then execute S340; otherwise, then execute S350.

[0102] In this embodiment, the uploading and updating of robot control system parameters can be accomplished through the robot application, rather than directly uploading to the backend. For example, the backend only communicates with the food delivery app for data transmission, including both the operating parameters of the food delivery app itself and the operating parameters of the robot configuration system.

[0103] In this embodiment, the robot can be a food delivery robot. Idle states may include the homepage for food delivery, snacks, multi-order, direct delivery, greeting, and blessing modes; the charging page (wired charging or charging station); and the settings page. Non-idle states may include being in a food delivery, snacks, multi-order, direct delivery, or greeting mode task; returning to base; heading to charging; returning from charging; or remote call task. The robot control system parameters are only updated when the robot is idle, avoiding updates during task execution that could lead to robot control abnormalities and malfunctions.

[0104] Specifically, after receiving the updated configuration information, it is determined whether the updated configuration information includes the configuration information corresponding to the robot control system parameters. If it does, it is further determined whether the target robot is in an idle state. If it is in an idle state, S340 is executed; if it is not in an idle state, S350 is executed.

[0105] S340: Send the corresponding configuration information to the robot control system to update the target operating parameters.

[0106] Specifically, the application in the target robot can send corresponding configuration information to the robot control system; accordingly, the robot control system updates the target's operating parameters. The robot control system can be a robot system.

[0107] For example, while sending the corresponding configuration information to the robot control system, a parameter modification pop-up can be displayed, and the target robot can be controlled not to respond to task commands during the display of the parameter modification pop-up. The parameter modification pop-up can display "Robot will restart in 10 seconds to modify parameters." At this time, the corresponding results of the target robot's operation screen pop-up operation can be: 1) If a click command on the "Confirm" button is detected, the pop-up disappears, the robot restarts, and feedback information "Modified configuration, restarted robot" is returned to the backend (i.e., the remote terminal); 2) If a click command on the "Cancel" button is detected, the pop-up disappears, and feedback information "Manually canceled, modification failed" is returned to the backend; 3) If the countdown ends, the pop-up disappears, the configuration modification process automatically begins, the robot restarts, and feedback information "Modified configuration, restarted robot" is returned to the backend (i.e., the remote terminal).

[0108] Understandably, by displaying a pop-up window to modify parameters, users can clearly and intuitively understand when the robot modifies parameters and choose whether to restart it independently, while not responding to task commands to avoid affecting the task during parameter updates.

[0109] S350, Uploaded and awaiting response information.

[0110] Specifically, the target robot's application uploads a wait-for-response message to the remote terminal so that the remote terminal can understand the target robot's status.

[0111] The technical solution of this invention involves uploading the current configuration information corresponding to the target operating parameters of the target robot based on a configuration information acquisition request. The target operating parameters include at least one of the following: robot application parameters or robot control system parameters. Then, updated configuration information is acquired. If the updated configuration information includes configuration information corresponding to the robot control system parameters, it is determined whether the target robot is in an idle state. If it is, the corresponding configuration information is sent to the robot control system to update the target operating parameters; otherwise, a waiting-for-response information is uploaded. This technical solution determines whether to update the control system parameters by checking if the robot is in an idle state, avoiding interference with ongoing tasks. Furthermore, updating operating parameters when the robot is idle does not affect its normal operation.

[0112] Based on the above embodiments, as an optional embodiment of the present invention, the parameter update list of the target robot can also be recorded and displayed according to instructions; wherein, the parameter update list includes at least one parameter update task information; the parameter update task information includes at least one of the following: task identifier, running parameter name, update type, modified content, updater, update time, and update status.

[0113] Specifically, it records each parameter update task information for the target robot. Furthermore, upon recognizing a record display command, it displays a list of parameter updates for the target robot, for example, task ID 100a, user Zhang San, and modified content ××, etc. Furthermore, users can filter relevant parameter update task information for the target robot by entering keywords such as status in the search bar.

[0114] Understandably, by recording the parameter update task information of the target robot and displaying the parameter update list as needed, one can understand the robot's historical parameter update status at any time.

[0115] Example 4

[0116] Figure 4 This is a flowchart of a method for updating robot operating parameters according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment is further optimized to provide an optional implementation scheme. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the method for updating robot operating parameters in this embodiment may include:

[0117] S410. Based on the configuration information acquisition request, upload the current configuration information corresponding to the target operating parameters of the target robot.

[0118] The target operating parameters include at least one of the following: robot application parameters or robot control system parameters.

[0119] S420: Obtain the updated configuration information issued.

[0120] S430. If it is determined that the updated configuration information includes the configuration information corresponding to the robot control system parameters, then determine whether the target robot is in an idle state. If yes, then execute S440; otherwise, execute S450.

[0121] S440: Send the corresponding configuration information to the robot control system to update the target operating parameters, and continue executing S460.

[0122] S450, Uploaded and awaiting response information.

[0123] S460: Control the target robot to collect real-time operating data to verify whether the updated target operating parameters are accurate.

[0124] Optionally, the robot can be controlled to collect real-time operational data corresponding to the target operational parameters. Then, based on certain verification rules, the accuracy of the updated target operational parameters can be verified using this real-time data. For example, a parameter verification model can be used to verify the accuracy of the updated target operational data based on real-time operational data. This parameter verification model can be pre-trained using a machine learning algorithm. For instance, when updating target operational parameters includes camera parameters, the robot can be controlled to collect image data in real-time after the update to verify the positioning accuracy and determine the accuracy of the updated target operational parameters. As another example, when updating target operational parameters includes obstacle avoidance distance, the robot can be controlled to approach a physical obstacle and acquire the robot's laser data when obstacle avoidance is triggered to determine whether the actual obstacle avoidance distance matches the updated obstacle avoidance distance. If a collision is triggered, it can be determined that the updated obstacle avoidance distance is inaccurate.

[0125] For example, if the robot control system parameters include LiDAR parameters, such as the installation height of the LiDAR, controlling the robot to collect real-time operating data to verify whether the updated target operating parameters are correct can be achieved by controlling the target robot to move from the current position to the target position and obtaining the LiDAR positioning data of the target robot at the target position; and verifying whether the updated LiDAR parameters are correct based on the LiDAR positioning data and the map LiDAR data corresponding to the target position.

[0126] Here, "current position" refers to the current location of the target robot. "Target position" refers to the stopping position of the target robot after it has moved.

[0127] Specifically, the robot is controlled to move from its current position to the target position, for example, by walking a certain distance (e.g., turning left and walking 30cm), and then stopping. Laser positioning data of the robot at the target position is acquired. This laser positioning data is then matched with the corresponding map laser data to determine the matching degree. If the matching degree is less than a matching degree threshold, the updated LiDAR parameters are considered correct. This matching degree threshold can be set by someone skilled in the art based on actual needs. The specific coordinates of the target position can be determined based on the robot's current position, IMU data, and odometry difference.

[0128] Understandably, controlling the robot's movement to verify the correctness of the lidar parameters can achieve the verification effect quickly and accurately.

[0129] The above technical solution verifies the accuracy of the updated target operating parameters by using the robot's real-time operating data. This allows for timely verification of the readiness of the updated parameters and prevents incorrect parameter modifications from affecting the robot's normal operation.
