Figure 1 As shown, the computing device 110 can achieve: determining a pickup task according to a delivery order, the delivery order corresponds to one or more pickup tasks; sending a task request to the robot according to the pickup task, the task request including the goods to be delivered, the pickup address, the delivery address and the estimated delivery time; based on the robot responding to the task request, dispatching the robot to the pickup address to obtain the goods to be delivered, and delivering the goods to be delivered according to the delivery address. It is worth noting that: Figure 1 The application scenario shown is an example of a robot delivery method based on an embodiment of the present invention, but is not limiting.

[0024] It should be noted that the above-mentioned computing device 110 can be hardware or software. When the computing device 110 is hardware, it can be implemented as a distributed cluster consisting of multiple servers or terminal devices, or it can be implemented as a single server or a single terminal device.

It can be implemented as multiple software or software modules for providing distributed services, for example, or it can be implemented as a single software or software module. No specific limitation is made here.

[0025] It should be understood that Figure 1 The number of computing devices in the embodiment is only illustrative. Any number of computing devices may be provided according to implementation requirements.

[0026] Embodiment 1

[0027] According to an embodiment of the present application, a robot delivery method is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in a different order than that shown here. Figure 2 As shown, the robot delivery method includes the following steps: S210, S220 and S230.

[0028] S210: Determine a pickup task according to the delivery order, where the delivery order corresponds to one or more pickup tasks.

[0029] Specifically, for the robot, the delivery order is an order created by the user in the guest room, and the order is sent to the robot. The order may include multiple products. If the products are stored in different locations, the products corresponding to the order need to be split into multiple picking tasks. The picking task is for the robot to move from the current location to the location of the product in the order to perform the picking operation.

[0030] S220: Send a task request to the robot according to the pickup task, wherein the task request includes the goods to be delivered, the pickup address, the delivery address and the estimated delivery time.

[0031] As an optional implementation, after receiving the task request, the robot determines the goods to be delivered and their corresponding pickup address. After successfully picking up the goods, the robot plans a route based on the delivery address and estimated delivery time to complete the delivery of the goods to be delivered within a reasonable time range.

[0032] S230: Based on the robot that responds to the task request, dispatch the robot to go to the pickup address to obtain the goods to be delivered, and deliver the goods to be delivered according to the delivery address.

[0033] Among them, sending the task request to the robot according to the picking task includes: obtaining the goods to be delivered in the delivery order; splitting the delivery order into multiple picking tasks according to the goods to be delivered; and sending the task request to the robot according to the task queue of the picking task.

[0034] Optionally, when no robot responds to task requests corresponding to different picking-up tasks after a response time has passed, a call administrator is made to execute the picking-up tasks and deliver the goods to be delivered in the delivery order.

[0035] Optionally, the robot based on responding to the task request is dispatched to go to the pickup address to obtain the goods to be delivered, and delivers the goods to be delivered according to the delivery address, including: controlling the robot to display the cargo hold to be placed on the screen according to the information of the goods to be delivered at the pickup address; closing the hatch when the goods to be delivered are detected in the cargo hold, and sending a delivery instruction to the robot.

[0036] It is understandable that when the goods to be delivered are placed in the corresponding cargo compartment within the robot's pickup time limit, it means that the robot's pickup task is responded to within the specified time. Exemplarily, the robot goes to the pickup address, and when the staff receives the "arrived at the pickup point" message sent by the robot, the goods to be delivered at the pickup point are placed in the corresponding compartment of the robot. Note: The pickup point is the robot stop point corresponding to the pickup address.

[0037] Furthermore, the dispatching of the robot to go to the pickup address to obtain the goods to be delivered also includes: when the robot stays at the pickup address for longer than a waiting time threshold, releasing the pickup task and reporting it to the order system.

[0038] The waiting time threshold is the boundary time point of the robot's pickup time limit range. In short, if the robot still fails to detect the product to be delivered after exceeding the robot's pickup time limit range, the robot will automatically cancel the current pickup task and then report the unfinished pickup task to the order system.

[0039] Optionally, when the robot stays at the pickup address for longer than a waiting time threshold, the pickup task is released, and after reporting to the order system, the method further includes: notifying the administrator to complete the pickup operation according to the pickup task and deliver the goods to be delivered.

[0040] Optionally, the user creates the delivery order according to the order system and sends the delivery order to the robot.

[0041] The present invention discloses a robot delivery method, device, equipment and medium. The method comprises: determining a pickup task according to a delivery order, wherein the delivery order corresponds to one or more pickup tasks; sending a task request to a robot according to the pickup task, wherein the task request comprises goods to be delivered, a pickup address, a delivery address and an estimated delivery time; based on the robot responding to the task request, dispatching the robot to go to the pickup address to obtain the goods to be delivered, and delivering the goods to be delivered according to the delivery address. By adopting the embodiment of the present invention, the robot can actively go to the pickup address, and the robot and manual collaboration delivery of goods can be implemented to improve the delivery efficiency; at the same time, the equipment cost and labor cost required for providing the delivery service are reduced.
