[0026] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0027] This embodiment provides a luggage handling robot. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a luggage handling robot according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the robot includes a control module, a drive module, a baggage handling module and a navigation module;

[0028] The control module is used to determine whether the received baggage handling instruction is valid. If it is valid, the control module parses the baggage handling instruction to obtain baggage handling position information; and sends the baggage handling position information to the navigation module; the baggage handling position information includes the baggage location and the baggage handling position.

[0029] The luggage handling instruction may be sent by the client to the control unit, wherein the luggage handling instruction includes luggage handling location information, such as the luggage location, i.e., location information where the luggage is placed, and the luggage handling location, i.e., location information to which the luggage needs to be handled; wherein the luggage location may be one or more, and the luggage handling location may be one or more, and the luggage location and the luggage handling location may be in a one-to-one correspondence, for example, a user needs to handle the luggage at location A to location B; the luggage location and the luggage handling location may be in a one-to-many relationship, for example, a user needs to handle the luggage at location A to location B, respectively.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, determining whether the received baggage handling instruction is valid comprises the following steps:

[0031] Step 1: After receiving the first baggage handling instruction, the baggage handling verification information is sent to the sender of the first baggage handling instruction.

[0032] Specifically, the baggage handling verification information is used to enable the user to determine whether the baggage handling instruction is correct and valid, for example, to allow the user to determine whether the baggage location and baggage handling position in the baggage handling instruction are correct; when there are multiple baggage locations and multiple baggage handling positions, they need to be verified one by one, and this verification method can be verified by sending a baggage handling verification information to the user's client.

[0033] Step 2: If the baggage handling confirmation information from the initiator is received again, it is determined that the first baggage handling instruction is valid.

[0034] Specifically, after the control module sends the baggage handling verification information to the client, it receives the baggage handling confirmation information sent by the client, and can determine that the location of each baggage in the first baggage handling instruction and the baggage handling location information are correct.

[0035] Step 3: If the baggage handling confirmation information of the initiator is not received or the second baggage handling instruction is received, it is determined that the first baggage handling instruction is invalid; and the first baggage handling instruction is different from the second baggage handling instruction.

[0036] Specifically, when the control module sends baggage handling verification information to the client, but does not receive baggage handling confirmation information sent by the client, or receives a new baggage handling instruction (i.e., the second baggage handling instruction), it is determined that the previous baggage handling instruction (i.e., the first baggage handling instruction) is invalid; when a new baggage handling instruction (i.e., the second baggage handling instruction) is received, it is necessary to send baggage handling verification information to the client again to verify whether the second baggage handling instruction is valid.

[0037] The navigation module is used to determine the luggage transportation path according to the location of the luggage, the luggage handling location and the current location, and return the luggage transportation path to the control module.

[0038] Specifically, the navigation module mainly uses maps and positioning technology to plan the path of luggage transportation. The current position can be understood as the current position of the luggage handling robot.

[0039] The baggage transportation route can be determined according to the baggage location, baggage handling location and current location by the following methods:

[0040] When there is one luggage location and one luggage handling location, the luggage transportation route can be determined according to the luggage location, the luggage handling location and the current location, for example: current location-luggage location-luggage handling location.

[0041] When there is only one luggage location and multiple luggage handling locations, the transportation route 1 can be constructed based on the priority of the luggage handling locations in the luggage handling instruction and the multiple luggage handling locations, such as luggage handling location 1-luggage handling location 2-luggage handling location 3; wherein, luggage handling location 1 has the highest priority and luggage handling location 3 has the lowest priority; the priority of the luggage handling location is set according to the urgency of handling the luggage, and the user can set the urgency of handling the luggage according to the actual situation. Then, based on the current location, the location of the luggage and the transportation route 1, the target transportation route is determined, such as the current location-the location of the luggage-transportation route 1.

[0042] When there are multiple baggage locations and multiple baggage handling locations, a transportation route 1 may be constructed first according to the priorities of the baggage locations in the baggage handling instruction and the multiple baggage locations, such as baggage location 1-baggage location 2-baggage location 3; baggage location 1 has the highest priority and baggage location 3 has the lowest priority. The priorities of the baggage locations may be set according to the multiple baggage locations and the current location, for example, first setting the priority of baggage location 1 closest to the current location to the first priority, then setting the priority of baggage location 2 closest to baggage location 1 to the second priority, and then setting the priority of baggage location 3 closest to baggage location 2 to the third priority, and in this way setting the corresponding priority for each baggage location.

[0043] Then, a transport route 2 is constructed according to the priorities of the baggage handling locations in the baggage handling instruction and multiple baggage handling locations, such as baggage handling location 1-baggage handling location 2-baggage handling location 3; wherein baggage handling location 1 has the highest priority and baggage handling location 3 has the lowest priority.

[0044] Finally, a target transport path is constructed according to the current position, the transport path 1 and the transport path 2, for example, the current position - transport path 1 - transport path 2.

[0045] The control module is also used to determine multiple movement instructions and multiple handling instructions according to the luggage transportation path, and send the corresponding movement instructions to the driving module when the corresponding first preset conditions are met; and send the corresponding handling instructions to the luggage handling module when the corresponding second preset conditions are met; wherein the multiple movement instructions have a one-to-one corresponding multiple first preset conditions, and the multiple handling instructions have a one-to-one corresponding multiple second preset conditions.

[0046] Specifically, the movement instruction can be understood as a command to move the robot from one position to another, such as moving from the current position to the luggage location, or from one luggage location to another location, or from the luggage location to the luggage handling location, or from one luggage handling location to another luggage handling location. The handling instruction can be understood as causing the robot to grab the luggage, including grabbing the luggage at the luggage location to the robot tray, or grabbing the luggage in the tray to the luggage handling location.

[0047] More specifically, the first preset condition is set for the movement instruction. For example, when the movement instruction 1 is to move from the current location to the location of the luggage, the first preset condition of the movement instruction 1 is that the luggage handling instruction is valid; when the movement instruction 2 is to move from the location of the luggage to the luggage handling location, the first preset condition of the movement instruction 2 is to grab the luggage at the luggage location and put it into the robot's tray.

[0048] The second preset condition is set for the transport instruction. For example, when the transport instruction 1 is to grab the luggage at the luggage location and put it into the robot tray, the second preset condition of the transport instruction 1 is that the robot moves to the luggage location; when the transport instruction 2 is to grab the luggage in the tray and put it into the luggage transport location, the second preset condition of the transport instruction 2 is that the robot moves to the luggage transport location.

[0049] The driving module is used to drive the robot to move to the corresponding target position according to the received movement instruction.

[0050] Specifically, the driving module can receive the movement instruction sent by the control module in real time, determine the target position from the movement instruction, and control the robot to move to the target position.

[0051] The baggage handling module is used to carry out baggage handling according to the received handling instructions.

[0052] Specifically, the baggage handling module can receive the handling instructions issued by the control module in real time, and carry out baggage handling according to the received handling instructions, wherein the handling instructions include grabbing the baggage and placing it in the robot tray, and grabbing the baggage in the robot tray and placing it in the baggage handling area. Figure 2 As shown: the baggage handling module includes a robotic arm and a baggage tray; the robotic arm is used to grab the baggage, and the baggage tray is used to place the baggage.

[0053] In some preferred embodiments, the baggage handling instruction includes a plurality of baggage handling locations and a plurality of handling sequence numbers corresponding to the plurality of baggage handling locations; and determining the baggage transportation route according to the location of the baggage, the baggage handling location and the current location, including:

[0054] A first transportation path is determined according to multiple baggage handling locations and multiple handling sequence numbers corresponding to the multiple baggage handling locations; a second transportation path is determined according to a current position and the location of the baggage; and the first transportation path and the second transportation path are spliced ​​to obtain a baggage transportation path.

[0055] Specifically, the multiple transport numbers corresponding to the multiple luggage handling places can be understood as the priority of the luggage handling places. For example, when there are luggage handling place 1, luggage handling place 2 and luggage handling place 3, and the user wants to first transport part of the luggage to luggage handling place 2, then transport part of the luggage to luggage handling place 1, and finally transport part of the luggage to luggage handling place 3, the priority of luggage handling place 2 can be set to be the highest, the priority of luggage handling place 1 is the second, and the priority of luggage handling place 3 is the lowest, that is, the transport number of luggage handling place 2 is 1, the transport number of luggage handling place 1 is 2, and the transport number of luggage handling place 3 is 3; thus, the first transportation path can be determined to be luggage handling place 2-baggage handling place 1-baggage handling place 3 based on the transport numbers of the above three luggage handling places. The second transportation path is the current position-the location of the luggage. The third transportation path is: current position-the location of the luggage-baggage handling place 2-baggage handling place 1-baggage handling place 3.

[0056] In some preferred embodiments, the luggage transportation path includes a first path, which is a path from the current position to the location of the luggage; and determining a plurality of movement instructions and a plurality of handling instructions according to the luggage transportation path includes:

[0057] The first movement instruction and the first handling instruction are determined according to the first path, and the first preset condition corresponding to the first movement instruction is set to whether the luggage handling instruction is valid, and the second preset condition corresponding to the first handling instruction is set to whether the robot reaches the location of the luggage.

[0058] Specifically, the first movement instruction is used to control the robot to move from the current position to the location of the luggage, that is, when the control unit determines that the luggage handling instruction is valid, the first movement instruction can be issued to the driving module. The first handling instruction is used to control the robot to grab the luggage at the location of the luggage into the robot tray, that is, when the control determines that the robot has arrived at the location of the luggage, the first handling instruction can be issued to the luggage handling module.

[0059] In some preferred embodiments, the luggage transportation path includes a second path, which is a path from the location of the luggage to the luggage handling location;

[0060] Determining a plurality of movement instructions and a plurality of handling instructions according to a baggage transportation path includes: determining a second movement instruction and a second handling instruction according to a second path, and setting a first preset condition corresponding to the second movement instruction to whether the baggage is loaded, and setting a second preset condition corresponding to the second handling instruction to whether the robot arrives at a baggage handling location.

[0061] Specifically, the second movement instruction is used to control the robot to move from the luggage location to the luggage handling location, that is, when the control unit determines that the robot grabs the luggage at the luggage location and puts it into the tray, the second movement instruction can be sent to the driving module to make the robot move to the luggage handling location. The second handling instruction is used to control the robot to grab the luggage in the robot tray and place it at the corresponding placement position at the luggage handling location, that is, when the control unit determines that the robot has arrived at the luggage handling location, the second handling instruction can be sent to the luggage handling module.

[0062] In some preferred embodiments, the robot further comprises: a sensor module (i.e. Figure 2 The sensor system is used to capture obstacle information within a preset range during the movement of the robot, and send the obstacle information to the control module so that the control module can make corresponding responses in time according to the obstacle information; wherein the sensor module includes a visual sensor, an infrared sensor and an ultrasonic sensor.

[0063] In some preferred embodiments, Figure 3 As shown: after receiving a user command, the control module of the baggage handling robot of the present invention parses the command and determines whether the command is valid; if it is valid, the navigation module is used to set the target position (for example, the location of the baggage in the transportation path and the baggage handling location), and the transportation path is calculated according to the target position; then the driving system is started to move the robot to the specified location, and the mechanical arm in the baggage handling module is started to pick up or place the baggage, for example, the robot is moved to the location of the baggage, the mechanical arm is started to grab the baggage at the location of the baggage and place it in the tray, or the robot is moved to the baggage handling location, and the mechanical arm is started to grab the baggage in the tray and place it at the target placement position at the baggage handling location.
