However, those skilled in the art will understand that this application may also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details.

[0048] It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used in this application specification and the appended claims means any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes such combinations.

[0049] Furthermore, in the description of this application and the appended claims, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0050] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" as described in this specification mean that one or more embodiments of this application include a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment. Therefore, the phrases "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," "in still other embodiments," etc., appearing in different parts of this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more, but not all, embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and variations thereof mean "including but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized. "A plurality of" means "two" or "more than two."

[0051] Long-range radio technology is widely used in various fields due to its advantages such as long range, low power consumption, multiple nodes, low cost, wide coverage, and strong anti-interference capabilities, including smart cities, smart buildings, smart homes, smart agriculture, and industry. Based on global regional radio management regulations and the characteristics of LoRaWAN, the LoRa Alliance has established specific parameter ranges for LoRaWAN in various regions worldwide, including frequency bands, channel allocation, data rates, transmit power, and maximum data length. For example, LoRa primarily uses unlicensed ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) frequency bands, including 433MHz, 868MHz, and 915MHz.

[0052] Different countries and regions have different regulations regarding the operating frequency bands for LoRa. For example, in Europe, the operating frequency bands for LoRa are defined and managed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), mainly divided into three bands: 868MHz, 433MHz, and 915MHz. The 868MHz band is applicable to most European countries, including Germany, France, and Italy; the 433MHz band is mainly applicable to countries like the UK and Ireland; and the 915MHz band is applicable to countries like Spain and Portugal. In North America, the operating frequency bands for LoRa are determined by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The LoRa operating frequency is primarily 915MHz, which is applicable to countries such as the United States and Canada. In the Asia-Pacific region, the operating frequency bands for LoRa are determined by each country. For example, China mainly uses three frequency bands: 470MHz, 780MHz, and 923MHz. The 470MHz band is applicable to Guangdong and Guangxi, the 780MHz band is applicable to Zhejiang and Jiangsu, and the 923MHz band is applicable to Beijing and Shanghai. Japan and South Korea both use the 920MHz LoRa band.

[0053] Besides the regions mentioned above, there are other regulations regarding the operating frequency bands of LoRa. For example, Australia uses the 915MHz frequency band for LoRa; Brazil uses the 915MHz frequency band for LoRa; India uses the 865MHz frequency band for LoRa, etc. The LoRa frequency bands applicable to different countries and regions are not entirely the same, and the LoRa frequency bands applicable to different regions within the same country are also not entirely the same.

[0054] To meet the LoRa frequency band regulations of different countries and regions, manufacturers configure various LoRa modules in robots to satisfy the needs of users in different countries and regions. Currently, most manufacturers produce LoRa modules for the 433MHz, 868MHz, and 915MHz frequency bands as three different modules, with corresponding RF antennas also available in 433MHz, 868MHz, and 915MHz formats. A small number of manufacturers can combine 868MHz and 915MHz LoRa modules into a single module, which can then be configured via software to operate in different frequency bands as needed. The corresponding 868MHz and 915MHz RF antennas can also be combined into a single RF antenna. Even so, this still cannot meet the needs of all countries and regions. Furthermore, because orders from different regions are not fixed and cannot be predicted in advance, it is difficult for manufacturers to achieve accurate delivery.

[0055] Therefore, this application provides a robot control device, including an interaction module, a navigation module, and a LoRa module. The navigation module includes a processing unit and an interface unit, and the processing unit communicates with the LoRa module through the interface unit. The interaction module establishes a communication connection with the navigation module and is configured to send configuration information input by the user to the navigation module. The navigation module establishes a communication connection with the LoRa module and configures the operating frequency band of the LoRa module according to the configuration information sent by the interaction module. The robot device provided by this application allows the robot to operate in any permitted operating frequency band, effectively solving the problem of inconvenient production management when designing and manufacturing robots with LoRa modules configured with different frequency bands in the prior art. It also greatly reduces the production management difficulty for manufacturers and improves the accuracy of product delivery.

[0056] In applications, robots can be service robots used in non-industrial environments, such as service robots used for indoor delivery.

[0057] Example 1

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the robot control device 100 provided in this application embodiment includes an interaction module 1, a navigation module 2, and a LoRa module 3. The navigation module 2 includes a processing unit 21 and an interface unit 22. The processing unit 21 communicates with the LoRa module 3 through the interface unit 22.

[0059] In applications, the interactive module can be a display screen, specifically a thin-film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD), a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), or a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED) display screen, etc., without limitation here.

[0060] In applications, the interaction module may also include a front-facing camera, a smart screen, a microphone array, a touch sensor, and a single board for implementing human-computer interaction algorithms, etc. This is just an example and is not a limitation.

[0061] In the application, the interaction module can also reserve a LoRa configuration interface, allowing users to configure the LoRa operating frequency band and frequency parameters in accordance with their actual needs.

[0062] In applications, the processing unit can be a central processing unit (CPU), or other general-purpose processors, digital signal processors (DSPs), application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components, etc. The general-purpose processor can be a microprocessor or any conventional processor, etc. This is just an example and is not limited.

[0063] In the application, the processing unit also stores navigation algorithms, which can realize path planning based on destination information. The navigation algorithms can specifically include any one or more of the A* algorithm, Dijkstra's algorithm, and breadth-first search algorithm. This is just an example and is not limited.

[0064] In applications, the interface unit can be a serial interface (Component Object Model, COM), a Universal Asynchronous Receiver / Transmitter (UART) interface, a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), or any other interface that enables communication between the processing unit and the LoRa module. This is just an example and is not a limitation.

[0065] In one embodiment, the navigation module further includes at least one of a GPS positioning submodule, a BDS positioning submodule, and an LBS positioning submodule.

[0066] In applications, the navigation module may further include a positioning submodule, which is configured to obtain the robot's position. The positioning submodule may be any one or more of the following: Global Positioning System (GPS) positioning submodule, BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) positioning submodule, and Location Based Services (LBS) positioning submodule. This is just an example and is not a limitation.

[0067] based on Figure 1 The connection relationships of the modules in the robot control device 100 are shown below, and the working principles of each module in the robot control device 100 are as follows:

[0068] Interaction module 1 establishes a communication connection with navigation module 2 and is configured to send configuration information input by the user to navigation module 2;

[0069] Navigation module 2 establishes a communication connection with LoRa module 3 and configures the operating frequency band of LoRa module 3 according to the configuration information sent by interaction module 1.

[0070] In the application, after the interaction module establishes a communication connection with the navigation module, it obtains the configuration information input by the user and then sends the configuration information to the processing unit of the navigation module. After receiving the configuration information sent by the interaction module, the processing unit configures the operating frequency band of the LoRa module according to the configuration information, so that the operating frequency band of the LoRa module matches the user's configuration information.

[0071] In application, the robot control device provided in this application embodiment can conveniently and quickly configure the working frequency band of the robot's LoRa module, avoiding the need for manufacturers to establish corresponding Bill of Material (BOM) management systems due to different LoRa frequency band parameters of LoRa modules during the production process, thereby improving the manufacturer's management and production efficiency.

[0072] Example 2

[0073] like Figure 2 As shown, the robot control device 100 provided in this application embodiment includes an interaction module 1, a navigation module 2, and a LoRa module 3. The navigation module 2 includes a processing unit 21 and an interface unit 22. The processing unit 21 communicates with the LoRa module 3 through the interface unit 22. It also includes a motion module 4 that establishes a communication connection with the navigation module 2, and a power module 5 that establishes a connection with the interaction module 1, the navigation module 2, the LoRa module 3, and the motion module 4. The LoRa module 3 includes a first LoRa communication unit 31, a second LoRa communication unit 32, a first antenna unit 33 corresponding to the first LoRa communication unit 31, and a second antenna unit 34 corresponding to the second LoRa communication unit 32.

[0074] In application, the motion module controls the robot to move according to the control instructions of the navigation module.

[0075] In applications, the power module provides power and energy to the connected interaction module, navigation module, LoRa module, and motion module.

[0076] In the application, the interaction module 1, navigation module 2, LoRa module 3, motion module 4, and power module 5 can communicate in real time to realize various functions of the robot.

[0077] In one embodiment, the operating frequency band of the first LoRa communication unit includes 433MHz;

[0078] The second LoRa communication unit operates in frequency bands of 868MHz and 915MHz.

[0079] In applications, the operating frequency band of the first LoRa communication unit includes 433MHz. In actual needs, the first LoRa communication unit may also include more operating frequency bands close to 433MHz, which is not limited here.

[0080] In applications, the operating frequency bands of the second LoRa communication unit include 868MHz and 915MHz. In actual needs, more operating frequency bands close to 868MHz or 915MHz can be included, which is not limited here.

[0081] based on Figure 2 The connection relationships of the modules in the robot control device 100 are shown below, and the working principles of each module in the robot control device 100 are as follows:

[0082] The navigation module is also configured to:

[0083] Control commands are generated based on the configuration information;

[0084] The control command is sent to the motion module;

[0085] The motion module is configured as follows:

[0086] Receive control commands sent by the navigation module;

[0087] The robot moves according to the control commands sent by the navigation module.

[0088] In the application, after the interaction module establishes a communication connection with the navigation module, it sends the configuration information input by the user to the processing unit of the navigation module. After receiving the configuration information sent by the interaction module, the processing unit not only configures the working frequency band of the LoRa module according to the configuration information, but also generates control commands according to the configuration information and sends the generated control commands to the motion module, so that the motion module controls the robot to perform corresponding movements according to the control commands.

[0089] In one embodiment, the interaction module is configured to acquire configuration information for different frequency bands input by the user;

[0090] The configuration information for the different frequency bands includes the configuration information for the 433MHz band, the 868MHz band, and the 915MHz band.

[0091] In the application, the interaction module obtains configuration information for different frequency bands from user input, specifically including configuration information for the 433MHz band, the 868MHz band, and the 915MHz band. In practical applications, it can also be configuration information for other frequency bands; this is just an example and is not a limitation.

[0092] In one embodiment, when the interaction module obtains the configuration information of the 433MHz frequency band input by the user, the navigation module is configured as follows:

Then, based on the configuration information of the 868MHz frequency band, it configures the operating frequency band of the LoRa module so that it operates in the 868MHz frequency band.

[0104] In application, in addition to configuring the operating frequency band of the LoRa module, the navigation module also includes generating corresponding control commands based on the configuration information of the 868MHz frequency band, and sending the control commands to the motion module so that it can control the robot to perform corresponding movements according to the control commands.

[0106] In application, in addition to configuring the operating frequency band of the LoRa module, the navigation module also includes generating corresponding control commands based on the configuration information of the 915MHz frequency band, and sending the control commands to the motion module so that it can control the robot to perform corresponding movements according to the control commands.

[0112] S42. Control the robot to stop moving according to the stop command.

[0113] In the application, users can directly issue commands to the motion module through the interaction module. The specific commands are not limited to start motion commands and stop motion commands; this is just an example and is not a limitation.

The specific commands are not limited to start motion commands and stop motion commands; this is just an example and is not a limitation.

[0115] It should be understood that the sequence number of the steps in the data processing flow of each module in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution.

[0116] In application, the robot control device provided in this application embodiment obtains configuration information of various frequency bands, including 433MHz, 868MHz, and 915MHz, input by the user through an interaction module; then sends the configuration information to the navigation module, enabling the processing unit of the navigation module to establish a communication connection with the first or second LoRa communication unit of the LoRa module through the interface unit; then configures the operating frequency band of the LoRa module according to the configuration information, so that it operates in the corresponding frequency band; and generates corresponding control commands through the navigation module, and finally executes the control commands through the motion module, thereby realizing the movement of the robot.
