Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0021] Example 1: Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a robot multi-terminal collaborative debugging method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 The method includes the following steps: Step S101: In the network deployment phase, connect the robot's wired network port to the LAN port of the wireless router and configure the backend interface of the wireless router. In step S102, during the communication phase with the robot, all PC terminals debugging the robot connect to the AP router via WiFi, or the robot connects to the external network via an independent WiFi module.

[0023] In this application, an AP mode debugging network with "wired connection + wireless extension" is constructed to realize a single network port extension for multiple terminal access, separation of external network isolation and internal high-speed transmission, and a multi-terminal real-time division of labor and cooperation mechanism.

[0024] Furthermore, in step S101, configuring the backend interface of the wireless router includes: Step S201: Configure the wireless router's backend interface to AP mode and disable DHCP; Step S202: Set the local area network IP address to be on the same network segment as the robot.

[0025] Furthermore, in step S102, all PC terminals of the debugging robot connect to the AP router via WiFi, including: In terms of the intranet channel strategy, all PC terminals used for debugging the robot are connected to the AP router via WiFi, forming a Layer 2 switching network with the robot.

[0026] Furthermore, in step S102, the robot connects to the external network via an independent WiFi module, including: Regarding the external network access strategy, the robot connects to the external network through an independent WiFi module, which is physically isolated from the debugging network.

[0027] Furthermore, the PC terminal includes a first terminal, a second terminal, and a third terminal, and the method further includes the following steps: Step S301: The first terminal monitors the data stream in real time; Step S302: The second terminal executes code debugging; In step S303, the third terminal executes a hardware diagnostic command.

[0028] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 A debugging network in AP mode, consisting of wired connection and wireless extension, is constructed. During network deployment, the robot's wired network port is connected to the LAN port of the wireless router, and the router's backend interface is configured. During communication with the robot, all PC terminals used for debugging the robot connect to the AP router via WiFi, or the robot connects to the external network via an independent WiFi module.

[0029] Within WiFi signal coverage, the first terminal (terminal 1) monitors the data stream in real time; the second terminal (terminal 2) performs code debugging; and the third terminal (terminal 3) executes hardware diagnostic instructions.

[0030] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 During the network deployment phase, connect the wired network port used for debugging of the robot to the LAN port (not the WAN port) of the wireless router. Configure the wireless router's backend interface to AP mode, disable DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), and set the LAN IP to be on the same network segment as the robot. Generally, a less frequently used network segment should be selected to avoid interference with the external network segment (e.g., robot IP: 192.168.120.100 → router LAN IP: 192.168.120.1).

[0031] During the robot communication phase, an internal and external network isolation approach is adopted. For the internal network channel strategy, all PC terminals debugging the robot connect to the AP router via WiFi, forming a Layer 2 switching network (direct MAC layer connection) with the robot, resulting in low transmission latency.

[0032] Regarding the external network channel strategy, the robot connects to the external network through an independent WiFi module, which is physically isolated from the debugging network. This allows it to provide services on the public network and avoids the impact of public network fluctuations on debugging.

[0033] This application has the following advantages: 1) Single network port multi-terminal expansion By reusing a single network port in AP mode, the physical interface limitation is overcome, enabling one network port to support multiple debugging terminals. 2) Dual-channel network isolation The physical channels of the wired debugging AP network (Layer 2 switching) and the wireless external network module are separated to eliminate public network interference; 3) Low latency guarantee In AP mode, NAT forwarding is eliminated, and the data transmission path between the terminal and the robot is shortened to terminal → AP radio frequency → switch chip → robot, reducing the latency of connecting to the robot via WIFI.

[0034] Example 2: Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a robot multi-terminal collaborative debugging system provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

[0035] Reference Figure 4 The system includes: The network deployment module is used to connect the robot's wired network port to the LAN port of the wireless router during the network deployment phase, and to configure the back-end interface of the wireless router. The communication module is used during the communication phase with the robot. All PC terminals debugging the robot can connect to the AP router via WiFi, or the robot can connect to the external network via an independent WiFi module.

[0036] Furthermore, the network deployment module is specifically used for: Configure the wireless router's admin interface to AP mode and disable DHCP; Configure the local area network IP address to be on the same network segment as the robot.

[0037] Furthermore, the communication module is specifically used for: In terms of the intranet channel strategy, all PC terminals used for debugging the robot are connected to the AP router via WiFi, forming a Layer 2 switching network with the robot.
