[0020] This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an application scenario of the hotel linen collection method according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0022] exist Figure 1 In this application scenario, firstly, the computing device 101 can obtain the task information 102 from the hotel's mobile terminal. Then, based on the task information 102, the computing device 101 can select the target collection robot 103. Next, the computing device 101 can control the target collection robot 103 to collect linens and clothing, as shown by reference numeral 104 in the attached drawing. Finally, after the target collection robot 103 has collected the linens and clothing, the computing device 101 can control the target collection robot 103 to transport the linens and clothing, as shown by reference numeral 105 in the attached drawing.

[0023] It should be noted that the aforementioned computing device 101 can be either hardware or software. When the computing device 101 is hardware, it can be implemented as a distributed cluster consisting of multiple servers or terminal devices, or as a single server or a single terminal device. When the computing device 101 is software, it can be installed in the hardware devices listed above. It can be implemented as, for example, multiple software programs or software modules used to provide distributed services, or as a single software program or software module. No specific limitations are made here.

[0024] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of computing devices shown is merely illustrative. Any number of computing devices can be used depending on implementation needs.

[0025] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of some embodiments of the hotel linen collection method according to the present disclosure. Figure 2 The hotel linen and clothing collection method can be provided by Figure 1The computing device 101 performs the operation. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the hotel's linen collection methods include:

[0026] Step S201: Obtain task information from the hotel's mobile terminal.

[0027] In some embodiments, the entity implementing the hotel linen collection method (such as...) Figure 1 The computing device 101 shown can obtain task information from the hotel mobile terminal. This task information includes at least: the quantity of linens and clothing, the room number, and the destination. As an example, the hotel mobile terminal could be a mini-program or app related to hotel services, or a local area network terminal placed in the hotel room.

[0028] As another example, hotel guests or staff can create new linen or clothing collection tasks through the hotel's mobile terminal. Accordingly, if the person creating the task is a hotel guest, the destination will be automatically selected as the linen room on the floor corresponding to the room number when the item being collected is linen; when the item being collected is clothing, the destination will be automatically selected as the laundry room on the floor corresponding to the room number. When the person creating the task is a staff member, the destination will be automatically selected as the linen room on the floor corresponding to the room number when the item being collected is linen.

[0029] Step S202: Select the target pickup robot based on the above task information.

[0030] In some embodiments, based on the above task information, the executing entity can select a target pickup robot through the following steps:

[0031] The first step, based on the aforementioned room number, is for the executing entity to determine the pickup location.

[0032] The second step involves the aforementioned executing entity obtaining the battery level of the pickup robots and forming a first set of candidate robots from those with battery levels greater than or equal to a preset battery level. Specifically, to prevent pickup robots from running out of power during task execution, a preset battery level is set as a safety battery level. The entity obtains the battery levels of all pickup robots and selects those with battery levels greater than or equal to the preset battery level as the first set of candidate robots.

[0033] Third, the aforementioned executing entity can obtain the execution status of the first candidate robot. This execution status includes, but is not limited to, being in a state awaiting task assignment at the charging station, being powered off, executing a task, or having returned to the charging station after completing a task. The first candidate robot in the states awaiting task assignment at the charging station or having returned to the charging station after completing a task is a pickup robot capable of executing tasks.

[0034] Fourth, the aforementioned executing entity may select the first candidate robot in the first candidate robot set whose execution status is either completed and returned to the charging pile or in the charging pile awaiting task assignment, as the second candidate robot, thus forming the second candidate robot set.

[0035] Fifth, the aforementioned executing entity can obtain the current location of each second alternative robot.

[0036] Step 6: Based on the above-mentioned pickup location and the current location of the above-mentioned second alternative robot, the above-mentioned execution entity can generate the path for each second alternative robot to reach the pickup location.

[0037] Step 7: The aforementioned implementing entities can be sorted in order of path from shortest to longest.

[0038] Step 8: The aforementioned executing entity can select the second alternative robot with the shortest path as the target pickup robot.

[0039] Step S203: Control the target collection robot to collect linens and clothing.

[0040] In some embodiments, the aforementioned executing entity may control the aforementioned target collection robot to collect linens and clothing through the following steps:

[0041] The first step is for the aforementioned implementing entity to control the target collection robot to travel to the collection location according to the path.

[0042] The second step is that when the target collection robot arrives at the collection location, the executing entity can send a notification message to the hotel's mobile terminal indicating that the target collection robot has arrived, so that the person who created the new task information can take out the linens or clothes and place them in the clothing compartment of the target collection robot.

[0043] Third, the aforementioned executing entity can control the camera device pre-installed on the target collection robot to turn on and acquire images of the hotel room door status.

[0044] Fourth, after the hotel room door opens and closes, the aforementioned execution entity can obtain the position and size of the door gap based on the hotel room door status image. Specifically, a neural network is pre-trained to acquire and recognize the position and size of the door gap in continuous hotel room door status images.

[0045] Fifth, the aforementioned executing entity can compare the aforementioned hotel room door status image with a pre-stored hotel room door closed status image to obtain the comparison results of the door gap position and the door gap size.

[0046] Step 6: When the comparison results of the door gap position and the comparison results of the door gap size indicate that the hotel room door is completely closed, the executing entity can determine whether the quantity of linens and clothing in the cloakroom is the same as the quantity of linens and clothing in the task information.

[0047] Step 7: When the hotel room door is completely closed and the number of linens in the cloakroom is the same as the number of linens in the task information above, the executing entity can send a prompt message to the hotel mobile terminal indicating that the target collection robot has finished collecting the linens and is about to go to its destination, so as to remind the person who created the new task information that the linens have been placed and the target collection robot is about to leave the collection point and go to its destination.

[0048] In one possible implementation of some embodiments, the execution entity determines whether the quantity of dirty clothes in the cloakroom is the same as the quantity of linens in the task information by the following sub-steps:

[0049] In the first sub-step, the aforementioned executing entity can control a camera device pre-installed in the clothing compartment of the aforementioned target collection robot to acquire continuous images of the user placing linens and clothing in the clothing compartment and images of the linens and clothing placed in the clothing compartment.

[0050] In the second sub-step, the aforementioned executing entity can analyze consecutive images of the user placing linens in the storage compartment and images of the linens placed in the storage compartment to obtain the quantity of linens in the storage compartment. As an example, a pre-trained neural network is used to identify the quantity of linens in both consecutive images of the user placing linens in the storage compartment and images of the linens placed in the storage compartment.

[0051] In the third sub-step, the aforementioned executing entity can determine whether the quantity of linens and clothing in the aforementioned clothing storage compartment is the same as the quantity of linens and clothing in the aforementioned task information.

[0052] In one possible implementation of some embodiments, the execution entity controls the target collection robot to collect linens and clothing, and the process further includes the following steps:

[0053] The first step is to send a confirmation message to the hotel mobile terminal to check whether the placement of linens has been completed when the comparison results of the door gap position and the comparison results of the door gap size indicate that the hotel room door is not fully closed and / or the number of linens in the cloakroom is different from the number of linens in the task information. The person who created the task information needs to confirm whether the placement of linens has been completed.

[0054] The second step involves receiving feedback that linen placement has been completed and sending a notification to the hotel's mobile terminal indicating that the target collection robot has retrieved the linen and is about to proceed to the destination. For example, if the person receiving the new task information sends feedback that linen placement is incomplete, the executing entity can control the target collection robot to continue waiting; if the person receiving the new task information sends feedback that linen placement is complete, the executing entity can send a notification to the hotel's mobile terminal indicating that the target collection robot has retrieved the linen and is about to proceed to the destination, notifying the person who created the task that the target collection robot is about to go to the destination. Then, the executing entity can control the target collection robot to leave the collection point and proceed to the destination.

[0055] In one possible implementation of some embodiments, the above-described hotel linen collection method further includes the following steps:

[0056] The first step is for the aforementioned implementing entity to track and monitor the route taken by the target collection robot to transport the aforementioned linens and clothing to the aforementioned destination.

[0057] The second step is that when the target collection robot delivers the linens and clothing to the destination, the execution entity can control the camera device pre-installed in the clothing compartment of the target collection robot to obtain images of the clothing compartment.

[0058] Third, when the image inside the clothing storage compartment indicates that the linens and clothing have been removed, the executing entity can send a task completion notification to the hotel's mobile terminal, indicating that the target collection robot has completed the task.

[0059] Fourth, the aforementioned executing entity can control the target collection robot to return to the charging station.

[0060] The beneficial effects of this disclosed embodiment compared to the prior art are as follows: First, task information from the hotel's mobile terminal is obtained; then, a target collection robot is selected based on the task information; subsequently, the target collection robot is controlled to collect linens and clothing; finally, after the target collection robot has collected the linens and clothing, it is controlled to transport them.
