When the one or more programs are executed by the electronic device, the electronic device: automatically calls the robot chassis in response to the instruction to return the clothes; the robot chassis automatically assembles the upper compartment for collecting clothes so that the washed clothes can be placed; the robot goes to the laundry room; after the robot arrives at the laundry room, it moves the upper compartment for collecting clothes to the designated position to wait for the washed clothes to be placed; sends a notification for placing washed clothes; when the upper compartment for collecting clothes is filled with washed clothes, closes the upper compartment; the robot delivers the washed clothes to the designated position of the guest.
[0154] Computer program code for performing the operations of some embodiments of the present disclosure may be written in one or more programming languages or a combination thereof, including object-oriented programming languages such as Java, Smalltalk, C++, and conventional procedural programming languages such as "C" or similar programming languages. The program code may be executed entirely on the user's computer, partially on the user's computer, as a separate software package, partially on the user's computer and partially on a remote computer, or entirely on a remote computer or server. In cases involving a remote computer, the remote computer may be connected to the user's computer via any type of network, including a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN), or may be connected to an external computer (e.g., via the Internet using an Internet service provider).
[0155] The present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium for returning clothes in an intelligent hotel, comprising: automatically calling a robot chassis in response to a return clothes instruction; the robot chassis automatically assembles an upper clothing cabin so as to place washed clothes; the robot goes to a laundry room; after the robot arrives at the laundry room, the robot moves the upper clothing cabin to a designated position to wait for washed clothes to be placed; a notification for placing washed clothes is sent; when washed clothes are placed in the upper clothing cabin, the upper clothing cabin is closed; the robot delivers the washed clothes to the designated position of the guest. Compared with the prior art, the present invention uses robots to realize the automation of returning clothes, saves human resources, and improves service efficiency.
[0156] At the same time, after the robot delivers the washed clothes to the guest's designated location, the present invention notifies the guest to retrieve the washed clothes and informs the guest of the location of the washed clothes, thereby avoiding unnecessary waiting and communication; the robot chassis uses navigation technology to complete the return of clothes in the shortest path, reducing energy consumption; and receives guest evaluation information to provide data support for the hotel's management decisions.
