Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present disclosure relate to computer application technology, and more particularly to a grid display method, device, delivery robot, and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Delivery robots are used to complete delivery tasks in the logistics and express delivery sectors. They typically utilize machine vision, artificial intelligence, and automation technologies to identify items, determine delivery routes, and perform picking tasks. Typically, delivery robots are equipped with multiple storage compartments for the items they pick.

[0003] In the related art, in order to facilitate the distinction between different storage compartments for items, a different compartment identifier is set for each item storage compartment, and then the item storage compartment is determined by the compartment identifier displayed on the display interface of the delivery robot. However, the compartment identifier is customized by the user or the manufacturer of the delivery robot, and the identifier setting rules used are also different. This requires the pickers who cooperate with the delivery robot to be very familiar with the setting rules of various compartment identifiers. Once the setting rules are confused, it is easy to misoperate other item storage compartments, resulting in the wrong placement of goods. Even if the operating error is discovered and corrected in time, it will cause a waste of time, thereby affecting the picking and delivery efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0036] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a grid display method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of the present disclosure is applicable to situations where an object is deleted and the object is restored after deletion. The method can be executed by a grid display device, which can be implemented in the form of software and / or hardware, and optionally, by a delivery robot.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the method of this embodiment may specifically include:

[0038] S110: Obtain the picking order being executed by the delivery robot, determine the items to be picked corresponding to the picking order, and determine the cargo storage compartment corresponding to the items to be picked as the compartment to be used.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a delivery robot may be a delivery robot used in a warehousing scenario, for example, a robot that walks between multiple shelves in a warehouse and is used to transport items. The delivery robot may be provided with multiple item storage compartments. The item storage compartments may be understood as containers for carrying the items to be picked. The picking order may be understood as a process of sorting the required items from shelves or other storage areas in a warehouse according to order requirements and delivering them to preset delivery locations. It should be noted that one delivery robot may execute one or more picking orders. The items to be picked may be understood as items sorted from shelves or other storage areas and placed in the cargo storage compartments of the delivery robot. Each of the picking orders may include one or more items to be picked. The compartment to be used is a cargo storage compartment determined from the multiple cargo storage compartments of the delivery robot for storing the items to be picked.

[0040] As previously mentioned, the delivery robot may need to execute multiple picking orders, each of which may involve multiple items. These picking orders can be dispatched via a warehouse management system (WMS). A WMS is the core system for warehouse management, capable of tracking and recording warehouse goods and order information in real time. In the disclosed embodiment, one or more item storage compartments can be assigned to each picking order. Furthermore, one or more items can be assigned to each item storage compartment.

[0041] In the disclosed embodiment, the picking order currently being executed by the delivery robot can be first obtained. Then, based on the relative spatial position of the delivery robot and the shelf and the items stored on the shelf, the items to be picked corresponding to the picking order can be determined. Then, based on the picking order and the items to be picked, the corresponding storage compartment for the items to be picked can be determined for the picker to perform the picking operation.

[0042] S120. Displaying, on a preset display interface of the delivery robot, compartment position prompt information corresponding to the actual spatial position of the compartment to be used.

[0043] Among them, the preset display interface can be understood as a pre-set information display interface. The preset display interface of the delivery robot can be an information display interface set on the delivery robot. It should be noted that the display size and display position and other information of the preset display interface can be set according to actual needs, and are not specifically limited here. One or more information related to the delivery robot can be displayed on the preset display interface. The actual spatial position can be understood as the spatial position of the to-be-used compartment on the delivery robot. Specifically, the actual spatial position can be determined by the relative position between the to-be-used compartment on the delivery robot and the other item storage compartments other than the to-be-used compartment, or the actual spatial position can be determined based on the spatial arrangement position of the to-be-used compartment on the delivery robot. The compartment position prompt information can be understood as information used to prompt the actual spatial position of the to-be-used compartment.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, there may be one or more ways to display the compartment position prompt information corresponding to the actual spatial position of the compartment to be used. Optionally, the compartment position prompt information corresponding to the actual spatial position of the compartment to be used is displayed in the form of text and / or graphics. For example, a compartment distribution diagram of the multiple item storage compartments provided on the delivery robot may be displayed, and / or the compartment position prompt information corresponding to the actual spatial position of the compartment to be used may be displayed in the form of text. The compartment distribution diagram may be a layout diagram of some or all of the multiple item storage compartments provided on the delivery robot. Exemplarily, in the case where multiple layers of the item storage compartments are provided on the delivery robot, the multiple layers of the item storage compartments may be displayed in layers, or the multiple layers of the item storage compartments may be displayed in the form of a three-dimensional model.

[0045] The technical solution of the disclosed embodiment can accurately obtain the work task of the delivery robot by obtaining the picking order being executed by the delivery robot, and can match the items to be picked with a suitable cargo storage compartment by determining the items to be picked corresponding to the picking order and determining the cargo storage compartment corresponding to the items to be picked as the compartment to be used; by displaying the compartment position prompt information corresponding to the actual spatial position of the compartment to be used on the preset display interface of the delivery robot, the actual spatial position of the compartment to be used can be intuitively displayed, which solves the technical problem in the related art that the compartment positioning relies too much on memory, resulting in easy misoperation, realizes accurate and fast positioning of the compartment to be used, and improves the picking and delivery efficiency.

[0046] Figure 2AA flow chart of another grid display method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The technical solution of this embodiment further refines the prompting method of the actual spatial position of the grid to be used on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment. Optionally, the display of grid position prompt information corresponding to the actual spatial position of the grid to be used includes: displaying a grid distribution map of the delivery robot, highlighting the grid to be used in the grid distribution map, wherein the grid distribution map includes multiple item storage grids of the robot and the display position of each item storage grid in the grid distribution map corresponds to the actual spatial position of the item storage grid. For specific implementation methods, please refer to the description of this embodiment. Among them, technical features that are the same or similar to those in the above-mentioned embodiments are not repeated here.

[0047] like Figure 2A As shown, the method of this embodiment may specifically include:

[0048] S210: Obtain the picking order being executed by the delivery robot, determine the items to be picked corresponding to the picking order, and determine the cargo storage compartment corresponding to the items to be picked as the compartment to be used.

[0049] S220. Display a grid distribution diagram of the delivery robot on a preset display interface of the delivery robot, and highlight the grid to be used in the grid distribution diagram.

[0050] The slot distribution map can be understood as a schematic diagram indicating the layout of the multiple item storage slots of the delivery robot. The slot distribution map can be generated based on the actual distribution information of the multiple item storage slots of the delivery robot. Specifically, the slot distribution map includes the multiple item storage slots of the robot, and the displayed position of each item storage slot in the slot distribution map corresponds to the actual spatial position of the item storage slot.

[0051] In order to facilitate identification of the slot to be used among the multiple item storage slots of the delivery robot, the slot to be used can be highlighted in the slot distribution map. Specifically, it can be understood that the slot to be used is displayed in the slot distribution map in a manner distinguishable from the other item storage slots. Exemplarily, highlighting the slot to be used in the slot distribution map includes at least one of the following operations: displaying the slot to be used in a preset color in the slot distribution map; displaying a preset mark at a preset position corresponding to the slot to be used in the slot distribution map; displaying the slot to be used in a preset form in the slot distribution map, wherein the preset form includes a preset shape and / or a preset size; displaying the slot to be used in a dynamic form in the slot distribution map, wherein the dynamic form includes a flashing form and / or movement along a preset trajectory.

[0052] The preset color can be understood as a pre-set color. The preset color can be a fixed color or a combination of multiple colors. For example, in the compartment distribution diagram, the item storage compartments other than the unused compartment can be displayed in a first color, and the unused compartment can be displayed in a second color. The preset color can also be a pre-set, dynamically changing color. For example, two or more colors can be switched and displayed in a preset transition sequence.

[0053] In an optional implementation of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the preset color can not only distinguish the slot to be used from other slots in the slot distribution map, but can also be associated with the item loading status of the slot to be used. For example, in the slot distribution map, the other slots except the slot to be used can be displayed in a first color, can be displayed in a second color when no items are stored in the slot to be used, can be displayed in a third color when items are stored in the slot to be used but the item loading capacity does not reach a preset loading capacity threshold, can be displayed in a fourth color when items are stored in the slot to be used but the item loading capacity reaches a preset loading capacity threshold, can be displayed in a fifth color when items are stored in the slot to be used and are fully loaded, and so on.

[0054] The preset position can be understood as a pre-set display position corresponding to the slot to be used in the slot distribution map. The preset identifier can be understood as a pre-set identifier for indicating whether the item storage slot is the slot to be used. Specifically, the preset identifier can be a preset position in the display area of the slot to be used. For example, the preset identifier can be displayed in the upper left corner, lower left corner, upper right corner, lower right corner or center position of the display area of the slot to be used. Exemplarily, the preset identifier can be a pre-set identifier in the form of text and / or pattern.

[0055] The preset form can be understood as the appearance of the preset display area corresponding to the grid to be used and / or the edge line of the grid to be used in the grid distribution map. The preset shape can be a preset shape. The preset shape can be the shape of the grid display area corresponding to the grid to be used, such as a circle, an ellipse, or a star; it can also be the shape of the edge line of the grid to be used, such as a dotted line or a wavy line. The preset size can be the size of the grid to be used after enlarging or reducing it, or it can be the thickness of the line used to identify the grid to be used.

[0056] Optionally, the grid to be used is displayed in a preset form in the grid distribution map, including: changing the shape of the grid to be used and displaying it in the grid distribution map; or, enlarging or reducing the grid to be used and displaying it in the grid distribution map; or, bolding the edge of the grid to be used and displaying it in the grid distribution map, etc.

[0057] like Figure 2B As shown, a grid distribution diagram 201 may be displayed in the preset display interface 20 of the delivery robot. In the grid distribution diagram 201 , the edge of the grid 2011 to be used may be displayed in bold or in a preset color to distinguish it from other item storage grids.

[0058] The dynamic form can be understood as a pre-set display mode of changes. Optionally, the grid to be used is displayed in a dynamic form in the grid distribution map, including: displaying the grid to be used in a reciprocating motion such as up and down or left and right in the grid distribution map; or displaying the edge of the grid to be used in the grid distribution map with a flashing effect, etc.

[0059] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure can present the spatial arrangement information of multiple item storage compartments of the delivery robot in a visual manner by displaying the compartment distribution map of the delivery robot on the preset display interface of the delivery robot; further, by highlighting the compartment to be used in the compartment distribution map, the actual spatial position of the compartment to be used can be displayed intuitively and clearly, thereby realizing rapid positioning of the compartment to be used.

[0060] Figure 3A A flow chart of another grid display method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. The technical solution of this embodiment further refines the prompting method of the actual spatial position of the grid to be used on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment. Optionally, the grid position prompt information corresponding to the actual spatial position of the grid to be used is displayed, specifically including: displaying the grid position prompt information corresponding to the actual spatial position of the grid to be used in text form. For specific implementation methods, please refer to the description of this embodiment. Among them, the technical features that are the same or similar to those of the above-mentioned embodiments are not repeated here.

[0061] like Figure 3A As shown, the method of this embodiment may specifically include:

[0062] S310: Obtain the picking order being executed by the delivery robot, determine the items to be picked corresponding to the picking order, and determine the cargo storage compartment corresponding to the items to be picked as the compartment to be used.

[0063] S320. Displaying, on a preset display interface of the delivery robot, compartment position prompt information corresponding to the actual spatial position of the compartment to be used in text form.

[0064] In the disclosed embodiment, considering that the display space of the delivery robot may be limited and other Western Sydney information may need to be displayed on the preset display interface of the delivery robot, the display format of the slot location prompt information can be textual, which is not only highly readable, intuitive, and easy to view, but also can effectively save the display space occupied by the preset display interface. The textual format can be understood as a textual description.

[0065] like Figure 3B As shown, a text display area 301 can be set within the preset display interface 30 of the delivery robot to display textual information indicating the slot location within the text display area 301. It is understood that the text display area 301 can be set anywhere within the preset display interface 30. The preset display interface 30 can be set anywhere within the delivery robot. The location of the preset display interface 30 within the delivery robot and the location of the text display area 301 within the preset display interface 30 are not limited herein.

[0066] Optionally, displaying the slot position prompt information corresponding to the actual spatial position of the slot to be used in text form specifically includes: obtaining a slot identifier corresponding to the slot to be used, obtaining pre-stored position description text corresponding to the actual spatial position of the slot to be used based on the slot identifier, and displaying the position description text as the slot position prompt information. This technical solution allows for convenient and rapid acquisition and display of the position description text corresponding to the actual spatial position of the slot to be used using the slot identifier corresponding to the slot to be used, thereby improving the efficiency of textual display of the actual spatial position of the slot to be used.

[0067] The slot identifier can be understood as an identifier used to distinguish different storage slots. For example, the slot identifier can be identification information corresponding to the storage slot. Specifically, the slot identifier can be identification information composed of preset characters. Furthermore, the preset characters can include at least one of numbers, letters, words, and symbols. The location description text can be understood as text information used to describe the actual spatial location of the slot to be used.

[0068] Exemplarily, the position description text includes orientation information and / or sorting information, etc. The orientation information can be understood as information indicating the direction and / or angle of the grid to be used, for example, the upper left corner, the lower left corner, the upper right corner, the lower right corner, from top to bottom, from bottom to top or from left to right, etc. The orientation information can assist the user in determining the relative position and direction of the grid to be used, so as to more accurately find the grid to be used and operate it. The sorting information can be understood as the relative arrangement position of the grid to be used among the multiple item storage grids. Exemplarily, the sorting information can be the nth in the mth row, etc. Taking into account that a delivery robot is often provided with multiple item storage grids, or even multiple layers of item storage grids, the actual spatial position of the grid to be used can be described by combining orientation information with sorting information. For example, it can be, facing the delivery robot, the second item storage grid from the left in the first row from top to bottom, etc.

[0069] As an optional implementation of the embodiment of the present disclosure, before obtaining the pre-stored position description text corresponding to the actual spatial position of the grid to be used based on the grid identifier, it also includes: obtaining the grid layout information of multiple item storage grids of the delivery robot, and determining the position description text corresponding to the actual spatial position of each item storage grid based on the grid layout information; storing the position description text corresponding to each item storage grid in correspondence with the grid identifier of the item storage grid. Since the item storage grids of the delivery robots put into use are relatively fixed in their arrangement, the present technical solution can pre-generate position description texts, and when the position prompt information of the grid to be used needs to be displayed, it can be quickly obtained and displayed, thereby improving the display efficiency of the grid position prompt information. Moreover, the grid identifier of each item storage grid is stored in correspondence with the position description text, which ensures the accuracy and convenience of obtaining the position description text.

[0070] The compartment layout information can be understood as the positional distribution information of multiple item storage compartments in the delivery robot. For example, it can be arranged in a single row with multiple columns, multiple rows with a single column, or multiple rows with multiple columns, or it can also be arranged in a preset shape (such as a circle, star, or heart shape).

[0071] It is understandable that the compartment layout information of the multiple item storage compartments of the delivery robot is associated with the structural design of the delivery robot, and the compartment layout information of the multiple item storage compartments of different delivery robots may be the same or different.

[0072] Optionally, determining a location description text corresponding to the actual spatial location of each item storage compartment based on the compartment layout information may specifically include: determining the relative position information of each item storage compartment relative to the other item storage compartments based on the compartment layout information; and then generating a location description text corresponding to the actual spatial location based on the relative position information corresponding to each item storage compartment. This technical solution can clearly describe the actual spatial location of the to-be-used compartment, using the distribution information of the delivery robot's multiple item storage compartments as a reference, making it easier for users to identify and operate the compartment.

[0073] The relative position information can be understood as position information determined by the spatial arrangement of the other item storage compartments. Similarly, the relative position information can also include orientation information and / or ordering information, such as left, right, layer, or number. For example, after obtaining the compartment layout information for multiple item storage compartments of a delivery robot, the identifier and relative position information of each item storage compartment can be determined one by one based on the spatial arrangement of each item storage compartment in the compartment layout information. For example, the item storage compartment at the starting position in the compartment layout information can be determined as the starting compartment. Starting with the starting compartment, the item storage compartments are numbered one by one according to a preset numbering method as their compartment identifiers, and the relative position information of the item storage compartments is determined based on their spatial arrangement positions. For each item storage compartment, the corresponding location description text is stored in association with the compartment identifier for user query.

[0074] The technical solution of the disclosed embodiment is to display the grid position prompt information corresponding to the actual spatial position of the grid to be used in text form on the preset display interface of the delivery robot, which is more readable and can intuitively and accurately indicate the actual spatial position of the grid to be used, so that the display method of the actual spatial position of the grid to be used is clearer and easier to understand, so as to achieve fast and accurate picking. Moreover, the description in text form is also easy to read and understand, which facilitates the further use and management of the grid position prompt information.

[0075] Figure 4 This is a structural diagram of a grid display device provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 4 As shown, the device includes: a slot determination module 410 and a slot display module 420.
