Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of robots, and more specifically, to a robot, a method, a device, a equipment and a storage medium for storing dining table information in the field of robots. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of the times, Internet technology has become more and more mature. The rapid development of Internet technology has promoted the gradual maturity of science and technology, and various intelligent products have gradually poured into people's lives. For example, smart TVs, smart watches, smart sports bracelets, robots, smart dishwashers, etc. The emergence of these intelligent products has replaced part of human work, reduced manual labor, improved people's living standards, and brought great convenience to people.

[0003] For example, in the catering industry, in order to reduce the workload of some staff, robots can be used to complete the meal delivery work. For the robot, the work that needs to be completed is to accurately transport the food to the guest's table according to the pre-received meal delivery instructions, and remind the guest to take the food away to complete the meal delivery task. In the process of automatic meal delivery by the robot, in order to ensure the successful completion of each meal delivery task, the robot first needs to obtain the map data of the area to be delivered based on multiple data collected by various sensors. Further, the robot also needs to store the table number information of each table in the area to be delivered in the map data of the area to be delivered. In order to ensure the matching of the table number information of the table and the actual position information of the table, that is, the table number information of each table and the actual position information need to meet a one-to-one correspondence, it is necessary to obtain the coordinate information of each table in the map data of the area to be delivered while storing the table number information of each table, and determine the position of each table in the map data of the area to be delivered according to the coordinate information of each table in the map data of the area to be delivered, and further store the table number information of each table in the map data of the area to be delivered in the map data of the area to be delivered. By matching the table number information of each table with the actual location information one by one, it can be ensured that the robot delivers meals to the corresponding guests, avoiding the occurrence of meal delivery errors.

[0004] In a possible implementation process, when the robot matches the table number information of each dining table with the actual location information one by one, the robot can move to the target table according to the user's instructions. Furthermore, the robot can obtain the coordinate information of the target table in the map data of the area to be delivered through the data collected by the sensor. At the same time, the staff manually inputs the table number information of the target table into the robot, so that the robot can achieve a one-to-one correspondence between the table number information and the actual location information of the table. According to the above operation process, the matching of the table number information and the actual location information of each dining table in the map data of the area to be delivered can be completed in sequence.

[0005] In the above process, for each table in the area to be delivered, the storage process of the corresponding table number information is mainly through manual input by the staff. When the restaurant area is relatively large and the number of tables in the area to be delivered is relatively large, the method of manually inputting the table number information of each table will not only cause a large amount of manpower consumption, but also easily lead to confusion and errors in the storage of table number information between tables, and the storage efficiency is relatively low.

[0006] In summary, in the process of storing the table number information of each dining table, how to ensure the correctness of the table number information stored in the map data of the area to be delivered, improve the storage efficiency of the table number information of the dining table, and reduce manpower consumption has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention

Furthermore, when storing table information, it mainly relies on the one-to-one correspondence between the table number information of each table in the area to be delivered and the position information of the robot at each table. According to the table number information of the table and the position information of the robot, the table information of the table is generated, and the table information is further added to the map of the area to be delivered. This method enables the robot to intelligently implement the table number information storage process of the table, while taking into account the matching relationship between the table number information of the table and the position information of the robot at each table. While ensuring the correctness of the table number information storage of the table, it improves the storage efficiency, avoids the errors caused by the traditional method of manually inputting table number information, and reduces the consumption of manpower. Furthermore, in the map data of the area to be delivered, after adding the table number information of each table to the map data of the area to be delivered, the map data of the area to be delivered is updated in real time.

[0020] In the above technical solution, after adding the table information of each table to the map data of the area to be delivered, the map data of the area to be delivered is updated in real time.

[0041] The technical solution in the present application will be described clearly and in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B: "and / or" in the text is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, "multiple" means two or more than two.

[0042] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as suggesting or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of a robot provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0043] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the robot 100 may include a memory 101 and a processor 102 .

[0044] In a possible implementation, the memory 101 is used to store the executable program code 1001, and the processor 102 is used to call and execute the executable program code 1001 to implement the method of storing table information.

[0045] Figure 2 It is a schematic flow chart of a method for storing table information provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0046] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the method 200 includes:

[0047] 201. At a target table in a food delivery area, obtain the position information of the robot, where the position information of the robot includes the coordinate information and orientation angle of the robot at the target table. The food delivery area includes M tables, where M is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and the target table is any one of the M tables.

[0048] It should be understood that, for the robot, the area that may be involved in the process of the robot performing the meal delivery task constitutes the meal delivery area corresponding to the robot, wherein the meal delivery area includes the M dining tables corresponding to the meal delivery task. In order to ensure that the robot accurately delivers the meal to the corresponding dining table during the meal delivery task, before that, the robot needs to pre-store the table information of each of the M dining tables in the meal delivery area.

[0049] When the robot stores the table information of each of the M tables in the area to be delivered, it first needs to obtain the map data of the area to be delivered.

[0050] Specifically, for the robot, multiple different types of sensors may be integrated inside it, such as distance sensors, spatial position sensors, gyroscope sensors, lidar sensors, image sensors, video sensors, etc. In the process of obtaining map data of the area to be delivered, the robot can walk along the path of the area to be delivered. In the process of walking, the above-mentioned multiple sensors can collect multiple data of the area to be delivered. Based on the multiple data, the robot can obtain map data of the area to be delivered.

[0051] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a scenario in which a robot obtains map data of an area to be delivered, as provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0052] For example, Figure 3As shown, in the process of storing table information, the robot 301 corresponds to a starting position 302 at the beginning. At the starting position 302, the robot 301 can establish a coordinate system according to the starting position 302 to obtain coordinate information related to the area to be delivered. The coordinate system can be regarded as a "global coordinate system". Among them, the global coordinate system can take the center of gravity (or geometric center) O of the robot 301 as the origin, the forward direction of the robot 301 as the positive direction of the Xc coordinate axis, and the left side of the forward direction of the robot 301 and the direction perpendicular to the Xc axis as the positive direction of the Yc coordinate axis. Then the robot 301 starts to move along the area to be delivered. During the movement, the robot 301 can synchronously collect multiple data of the area to be delivered through a variety of sensors. After walking along the area to be delivered, based on the collected multiple data, the robot 301 can obtain a map 303 of the area to be delivered. The map 303 of the area to be delivered may include coordinate data 304 related to the dining tables in the area to be delivered, coordinate data 305 on the ground, coordinate information 306 of items displayed in the store, etc. These different types of coordinate data are combined together to form the map data of the map 303 of the area to be delivered.

[0053] It should be understood that after obtaining the map data of the area to be delivered, the map data of the area to be delivered can be further optimized based on the algorithm preset inside the robot to filter out the influence of some other elements to ensure the validity and accuracy of the stored table number information.

[0054] It should also be understood that in the map of the area to be delivered, although the robot can collect a lot of coordinate data related to the dining table, the positions passed by the robot in the process of walking along the area to be delivered are random and uncertain. For example, it is possible that the coordinate data of the dining table is collected when it is still some distance away from the dining table. Therefore, the above-mentioned coordinate data related to the dining table cannot be used as the precise coordinate data of the dining table. In the process of storing the dining table information, it is necessary to further obtain the precise coordinate data of each dining table.

[0055] After the map data of the area to be delivered is obtained, the robot starts to store the table information of the tables. Specifically, the robot can move to any table of the M tables in the area to be delivered, and any table can be regarded as a "target table".

[0056] It should be understood that in the process of storing table information, the robot travels along the area to be delivered in advance. For the robot, every object encountered during the driving process will be regarded as an obstacle, such as cabinets, tables and various items on display in the store. Therefore, in the map data of the robot's area to be delivered, all coordinate information can be uniformly regarded as the coordinates of obstacles, so the robot cannot directly obtain the accurate coordinate information of each table. The robot can be regarded as the position information of each table by considering the robot's posture information at each table.

[0057] Optionally, the robot's position information includes coordinate information and orientation angle of the robot at each dining table.

[0058] In step 201, the robot determines the target table through instructions. In the process of obtaining the table number information of the target table, the accuracy of the table information of each table must be guaranteed. Only when the above two types of information of the target table are completely matched, the table information of the target table can be stored accurately.

[0059] For example, the robot can obtain the position information of the robot at the target table through the spatial position sensor, and the position information of the robot can be recorded as: {(x r ,y r ),θ r}.

[0060] 202, receiving the table number information of the target table sent by the terminal device.

[0061] The table number information of the target dining table needs to be obtained through the terminal device, and the terminal device further sends the obtained table number information of the target dining table to the robot.

[0062] It should be understood that the terminal device sends the table number information to the robot, indicating that a communication connection is maintained between the terminal device and the robot.

[0063] Optionally, the terminal device and the robot are connected via any one or more of the following methods: broadband connection, wireless network communication Wi-Fi connection, Bluetooth connection, Zigbee connection, cellular data connection. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the connection method between the terminal device and the robot.

[0064] In the above technical solution, when the terminal device is connected to the robot, a variety of optional connection methods are provided, including wired connection and wireless connection, so that the connection method between the terminal device and the robot is flexible and diverse, ensuring the adaptability of storing dining table information.

[0065] The terminal device can be any one or more of a mobile phone, a tablet, a wearable device, or a camera device connected to a robot. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the type and quantity of the terminal device. Below, taking a mobile phone as an example, a method for storing table number information provided in an embodiment of the present application is described in detail.

[0066] It should be understood that each table in the area to be delivered will be accompanied by an identification code of the table, and the identification code may be any one or more of a QR code, a bar code, and a dot matrix code. The following uses a QR code as an example to describe in detail a method for storing table number information provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0067] In other embodiments, each dining table may also be provided with multiple identification codes. For example, different identification codes may be set for the four corners of the table. That is, for a dining table, it may be associated with different identification codes, but for the same identification code, it can only be associated with one dining table. If a dining table is relatively large, a dining table may include multiple identification codes. Then, the robot can be used to obtain the corresponding posture information at different positions of the dining table, and obtain the identification code closest to the current position, and bind them to form the dining table information. Optionally, for a dining table, multiple dining table information can also be formed to correspond to different dining table areas.

[0068] In one possible implementation, each table in the food delivery area will correspond to a unique identification code, such as a unique QR code identifier. The staff can use a mobile phone to open the scanning function in any way, and then scan the QR code of the target table through the scanning page of the mobile phone to obtain the scanning result of the QR code of the target table. The scanning result includes a list of all dishes and a list of wine and beverages in the store, the number of selectable diners, a list of currently selected dishes, the table number information of the target table, etc. The mobile phone can obtain the table number information of the target table through identification.

[0069] Alternatively, the staff can enter the "WeChat" application by clicking the "WeChat" application icon on the mobile phone display page, and then click the "⊕" in the upper right corner of the WeChat homepage and select the "Scan" function thereunder to enter the scanning interface.

[0070] Alternatively, the staff can click on the "WeChat" application icon on the display page of the mobile phone and press and hold it for a few seconds until the function list interface appears, and then select the "Scan" function in the function list to enter the scanning interface.

[0071] Alternatively, the staff can enter the "Alipay" application by clicking the "Alipay" application icon on the mobile phone display page, and then click the "Scan" function in the Alipay homepage display interface to enter the scanning interface, or click "⊕" on the Alipay homepage and select the "Scan" function thereunder to enter the scanning interface.

[0072] Alternatively, the staff can click on the "Alipay" application icon on the mobile phone display page and press and hold it for a few seconds until the function list interface appears, and then select the "Scan" function in the function list to enter the scanning interface.

[0073] Alternatively, staff can search for the store’s mini program on WeChat or Alipay on their mobile phone, select “Scan code to order” in the mini program, and enter the scanning interface.

[0074] Exemplarily, after obtaining the table number information of the target table, the mobile phone can receive an operation instruction and decide whether to send the table number information of the target table to the robot according to the operation instruction.

[0075] In one possible implementation, after obtaining the table number information of the target table, the mobile phone will automatically pop up a "Do you want to send this information" interface. The staff manually selects the "Yes" icon to send the table number information of the target table to the robot, instead of immediately sending the table number information of the target table to the robot.

[0076] 203 , based on the table number information of the target table and the position information of the robot, generate table information of the target table, and add the table information of the target table to the map data of the area to be delivered.

[0077] After obtaining the table number information of the target table and the position information of the robot at the target table, the robot first determines whether the above two pieces of information of the target table match each other, and verifies the accuracy of the two pieces of information of the target table. Further, when the above two pieces of information are correct, the table information of the target table is generated according to the table number information of the target table and the position information of the robot, and the table information of the target table is added to the map data of the area to be delivered.

[0078] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a scenario in which a robot obtains table number information provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0079] For example, Figure 4As shown, the robot 301 walks to the target table 401 according to the instruction. At the target table 401, the robot 301 can collect the position information 403 of the robot 301 at the target table 401 through the sensor, which can be expressed as {(x1, y1), θ1}. At the same time, the staff turns on the mobile phone 404, enters the scanning interface 405 in any way, scans the QR code icon 402 on the target table 401, and through the scanning result of the QR code icon 402 of the target table 401, the mobile phone 404 can obtain the table number information 406 of the target table 401, and the table number information 406 is specifically C-01.

[0080] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a scenario in which a robot stores dining table information provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0081] For example, Figure 5 As shown, combined Figure 4 , the robot 301 determines whether the position information 403 of the target table 401 and the table number information 406 of the target table 401 correspond to each other according to the acquired position information 403 of the robot 301 at the target table 401 and the table number information 406 of the target table 401. After determining the correspondence, the robot 301 can further generate the table information 501 of the target table 401 according to the table number information 406 of the target table 401 and the position information 403 of the robot 301 at the target table 401, and add the table information 501 to the map 303 of the area to be delivered, that is, the storage task of the table number information 406 of the target table is completed, and at the same time, the table number information 406 of the target table 401 and the position information of the target table 401 (that is, the position information 403 of the robot 302 at the target table 401) are mutually corresponding.

[0082] Furthermore, after the robot stores the table information of the target table in the map of the area to be delivered, the map of the area to be delivered can be automatically updated to keep the map data of the area to be delivered updated in real time.

[0083] In the above technical solution, after adding the table information of each table to the map data of the area to be delivered, the map data of the area to be delivered is updated in real time. This can avoid the problem of failure to store the table information of the table due to a robot failure or stoppage, saving storage process and workload, and greatly improving the efficiency of the robot in storing table information.

[0084] In summary, the present application proposes a process in which the robot automatically stores table number information by receiving table number information sent by a terminal through a robot. Furthermore, when storing table number information, the one-to-one correspondence between the table number information of each table in the area to be delivered and the position information of the robot at each table is mainly relied on. According to the table number information of the table and the position information of the robot, the table information of the table is generated, and the table information of the table is further added to the map of the area to be delivered. This method enables the robot to intelligently implement the table number information storage process of the table, while taking into account the matching relationship between the table number information of the table and the position information of the robot at each table. While ensuring the correctness of the storage of the table number information of the table, the efficiency of storage is improved, the errors caused by the traditional method of manually inputting table number information are avoided, and the consumption of manpower is reduced. Furthermore, in the map data of the area to be delivered, after the table information of each table is added to the map data of the area to be delivered, the map data of the area to be delivered is updated in real time. It can avoid the problem of failure in storing table information due to robot malfunction or shutdown, saves storage process and workload, greatly improves the efficiency of the robot in storing table information, and provides a variety of optional connection methods when the terminal device is connected to the robot, including wired connection and wireless connection, making the connection method between the terminal device and the robot flexible and diverse, ensuring the adaptability of storing table information.
