Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robot technology, and in particular to a remote control system for a robot and a robot having the remote control system. Background Technology

[0002] Current robot remote control systems generally suffer from limited functionality. Traditional remote controls can only achieve basic motion control or simple command transmission, failing to meet the needs of diverse applications. For example, robots used in special scenarios such as industrial robots, service robots, and security robots require dedicated remote control equipment to achieve specific control requirements in addition to using traditional remote controls for basic control. This necessitates users frequently switching between different remote controls, making operation cumbersome and costly.

[0003] To meet the specific control requirements of robots, related technologies can utilize built-in hardware resources, such as microcontrollers like STM32, for remote video monitoring and audio / video transmission. However, this method relies on complex hardware architectures, including external cameras, encoding modules, and communication modules. This approach is difficult and costly to develop, making it challenging to integrate into lightweight robots.

[0004] Therefore, the robot remote control system in the relevant technology has the following main drawbacks: 1) Poor scalability: Most robot remote controls only support basic motion control of the robot and lack complex functions such as audio and video interaction and environmental perception. Users need to configure additional devices (such as mobile phones and tablets) to achieve remote monitoring, which increases the complexity of operation. 2) High development cost: Remote monitoring solutions based on embedded systems such as STM32 require independent development of communication protocols, resulting in long development cycles, high power consumption, and difficulty in adapting to lightweight robot applications.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] It should be noted that the directional terms used in this application, such as [up], [down], [front], [back], [left], [right], [inside], [outside], and [side], are only for reference to the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for the purpose of explaining and understanding this application, and not for limiting this application. In the drawings, structurally similar units are represented by the same reference numerals. Furthermore, the thickness and shape in the accompanying drawings of this application do not reflect actual proportions, and are only intended to illustrate the embodiments of this application.

[0021] The terms “first,” “second,” “third,” “fourth,” etc. (if present) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this utility model are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of the utility model described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having,” and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0022] In this embodiment of the utility model, current robot remote control systems generally suffer from limited functionality. Traditional remote controls can only achieve basic motion control or simple command transmission, failing to meet the needs of multi-scenario applications. For example, robots used in special scenarios such as industrial robots, service robots, and security robots, in addition to using traditional remote controls to achieve basic control requirements, also need to be equipped with dedicated remote control devices to achieve specific control requirements. This results in users having to frequently switch between different remote controls, making operation cumbersome and costly.

[0023] To meet the specific control requirements of robots, related technologies can utilize built-in hardware resources, such as microcontrollers like STM32, for remote video monitoring and audio / video transmission. However, this method relies on complex hardware architectures, including external cameras, encoding modules, and communication modules. This approach is difficult and costly to develop, making it challenging to integrate into lightweight robots.

[0024] Therefore, the robot remote control system in the relevant technology has the following main drawbacks: 1) Poor scalability: Most robot remote controls only support basic motion control of the robot and lack complex functions such as audio and video interaction and environmental perception. Users need to configure additional devices (such as mobile phones and tablets) to achieve remote monitoring, which increases the complexity of operation. 2) High development cost: Remote monitoring solutions based on embedded systems such as STM32 require independent development of communication protocols, resulting in long development cycles, high power consumption, and difficulty in adapting to lightweight robot applications.

[0025] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a remote control system for a robot, which will be described in detail below.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a remote control system for a robot provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the remote control system for the robot provided in this embodiment includes a docking structure 100 and a remote control device; The docking structure 100 is provided with an installation end (not shown in the figure) and a docking end 110. The docking structure 100 is used to be installed on the body of the robot 300 through the installation end and the docking end 110 is exposed. The remote control device is provided with a wireless communication module (not shown in the figure) and a remote control operation module 210. The remote control device is used to wirelessly connect with the robot 300 through the wireless communication module and to control the robot 300 to perform corresponding operations by triggering the remote control control 211 on the remote control operation module 210 by the user. The remote control device is also provided with a connection end (not shown in the figure). The connection end is used to dock with the docking end 110 of the docking structure 100 so that the remote control device and the robot 300 are electrically connected. The remote control device is also used to turn off the function corresponding to the remote control operation module 210 and activate and start the extended function module 220 preset on the remote control device when the remote control device and the robot 300 are electrically connected. The extended function module 220 includes an audio and video function module.

[0027] In this embodiment, the docking structure 100 is mainly used to allow the remote control device to be mounted on the body of the robot 300 so that the remote control device and the robot 300 can be physically connected. Therefore, the docking structure 100 can be set at any position on the body of the robot 300, as long as it is convenient for the user to mount the remote control device on the body of the robot 300.

[0028] Specifically, the extended function module 220 provided in this embodiment is not limited to audio and video function modules, but can also be a GPS positioning module, a touch screen debugging tool module, or other function modules that can be directly installed on the remote control device. Similarly, after the remote control device is mounted on the robot 300 and electrically connected to the robot 300, the robot 300 can directly reuse the extended function module 220 on the remote control device, so that the robot 300 can also have the extended functions corresponding to the control function module.

[0029] The extended function module 220, by being installed on the remote control device, can be mounted on the robot 300 along with the remote control device. This allows the robot 300 to directly reuse the extended function module 220 on the remote control device, thereby reducing the development cost of the remote control system. Furthermore, it allows the robot 300 to derive various pre-installed extended function modules 220 without incurring additional hardware costs. For example, it can provide audio / video call or video monitoring functionality. Compared to developing separate external function modules for the robot 300, this embodiment effectively improves the scalability and utilization of the entire robot's remote control system, while significantly reducing hardware procurement and system integration costs.

[0030] In some embodiments, to enable the expansion function module 220 to be mounted on the remote control device, the remote control device provided in this embodiment may be equipped with an expansion interface (not shown in the figure), which is used for detachable connection with the expansion function module 220. In this way, users can flexibly replace or add / remove the expansion function module 220 according to actual needs, thereby meeting application requirements in different scenarios. For example, in scenarios requiring remote monitoring, users can install an audio / video function module; in scenarios requiring positioning functions, users can install a GPS positioning module. The detachable connection method makes the functions of the remote control device more flexible and versatile, improving the system's adaptability and scalability.

[0031] Specifically, the detachable connection between the expansion interface and the expansion function module 220 can be achieved through various methods, such as magnetic connection and mechanical snap-fit ​​connection. Magnetic connection offers the advantages of convenient connection and quick disassembly, making it suitable for scenarios requiring frequent replacement of the expansion function module 220. Mechanical snap-fit ​​connection, on the other hand, provides a stable connection and is less prone to detachment, making it suitable for scenarios requiring high connection stability. Therefore, users can choose the appropriate connection method based on their actual needs to ensure a stable connection between the expansion function module 220 and the remote control device.

[0032] Optionally, the extended function module 220 provided in this embodiment can also support hot-swapping for different application scenarios. Specifically, users can quickly replace module types through the extended interface without restarting the system. For example, in an industrial inspection scenario, users can first install an audio / video module to complete equipment inspection, then switch to an infrared thermal imaging module for temperature monitoring, and finally switch to a communication module to upload data collected during task execution. Throughout the process, the remote control device can automatically identify the module type and load the corresponding driver, thereby achieving flexible configuration for multiple uses.

[0033] Furthermore, the extended function module 220 provided in this embodiment may also include a touch screen module, which is connected to the robot system of the robot 300 and used to display the device parameters of each component in the robot 300. Through the touch screen module, users can intuitively understand the operating status of the robot 300 and the working status of each component, thus facilitating remote monitoring and debugging. During the operation of the extended function, the touch screen module can continuously display key parameters of the robot 300. Specifically, this module can communicate with the main control system of the robot 300 via a CAN bus or RS485 interface to obtain information such as battery voltage, motor temperature, and sensor data in real time, and present it in a graphical interface. Users can access detailed data logs or modify control parameters through touch operation to achieve remote debugging. For example, in a security robot patrol scenario, users can view camera footage through the touch screen, monitor the robot's battery life, and adjust the patrol route accordingly.

[0034] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the remote control operation module 210 is disabled after the remote control device is electrically connected to the robot 300, before the extended function module 220 is activated and started. That is, when the remote control device is not electrically connected to the robot 300, the remote control operation module 210 maintains normal functionality, and the user can perform basic control of the robot 300 through the remote control control 211. When the remote control device is electrically connected to the robot 300, the system automatically switches to extended function mode, at which time the function of the remote control operation module 210 is temporarily disabled to avoid conflict with the extended function module 220. Simultaneously, when the remote control device is disconnected from the robot 300, the system automatically restores the function of the remote control operation module 210 and disables the extended function module 220, achieving seamless function switching and rational resource utilization. Thus, by adopting the embodiment provided by this utility model, it is possible to ensure that the remote control device can flexibly switch function modes in different usage scenarios, satisfying both basic control requirements and providing rich extended function options.

[0035] In this embodiment of the utility model, a specific example will be used to elaborate in detail on how the remote control device achieves function switching and the specific application of the extended function module 220 under different usage states. For details, please refer to... Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for expanding the functionality of a remote control system provided in an embodiment of this utility model, such as... Figure 2As shown, when the remote control device is not electrically connected to the robot 300, that is, when it is not attached to the robot 300, it is used as a regular remote control. The remote control operation module 210 is fully activated, and the user can send basic control commands to the robot 300, such as forward, backward, and turn, through the operation of the remote control control 211, to meet the basic motion control requirements of the robot 300. At this time, the extended function module 220 is in a dormant state and does not occupy system resources, ensuring that the remote control device operates with minimal power consumption.

[0036] When the user connects the remote control device to the docking structure 100 on the robot 300 via the connection terminal, the electrical connection is established, instantly triggering the system function switching logic. First, the microcontroller built into the remote control device detects the electrical connection signal and immediately sends a disable command to the remote control operation module 210, shutting down the output functions of all remote control controls 211 to prevent user misoperation from interfering with the operation of extended functions. Simultaneously, the microcontroller activates the extended function module 220 to establish a remote communication connection through a preset communication protocol and loads the corresponding driver according to the module type. For example, if an audio / video function module is installed, the system will start the camera driver, video encoding protocol stack, and wireless transmission module to achieve real-time video monitoring; if it is a GPS positioning module, the positioning service will be started and coordinate data will be uploaded to the user terminal.

[0037] When the user removes the remote control device from the robot 300, the electrical connection between the remote control device and the robot 300 is broken, triggering a system reset process. At this time, the microcontroller first detects the connection interruption signal and then immediately sends a termination command to the extended function module 220, shutting down all running extended services to release system resources. For example, the audio / video module stops power to the camera and clears the video buffer, while the GPS module stops the positioning service and clears cached data. Subsequently, the microcontroller unblocks the remote control module 210, restores the output functions of all remote control controls 211, and allows the remote control device to switch back to the basic control mode.

[0038] In other embodiments, to ensure system stability, the remote control device provided in this embodiment may also be equipped with a power module, which is connected to the wireless communication module, the remote control operation module 210, and the extended function module 220, respectively. In this way, the power module can provide stable power support to each module of the remote control device, ensuring sufficient power supply when the extended function module 220 is activated or the remote control operation module 210 is working, thus avoiding system failures or functional abnormalities due to insufficient power.

[0039] Meanwhile, the remote control device provided in this embodiment can also be equipped with a charging module. One end of the charging module is electrically connected to the robot 300, and the other end is electrically connected to the power module. The charging module is used to charge the power module with the power provided by the robot 300 after the remote control device is electrically connected to the robot 300. Thus, during the process of the remote control device being mounted on the robot 300 and electrically connected, the charging module can automatically start the charging process, converting the power provided by the robot 300 into a form of electrical energy suitable for the power module to store, and replenishing the power module's power in real time. Using this embodiment not only extends the battery life of the remote control device but also avoids the hassle of frequently replacing batteries or using external chargers, improving ease of use. For example, in scenarios involving long-term inspection tasks, users do not need to worry about the remote control device running out of power and interrupting operation; they only need to ensure that the robot 300 itself has sufficient power to achieve continuous power supply for the remote control device.

[0040] As an optional embodiment, to ensure the normal use of the remote control device, the remote control device provided in this embodiment may also be equipped with an alarm module. The alarm module is used to trigger an alarm reminder when the current remaining power of the power module is lower than a first power threshold, and to stop the alarm reminder when the current remaining power is higher than a second power threshold. Specifically, the first power threshold may be 10%, 20%, or other levels of power insufficient to support the remote control device in continuously controlling the robot 300 to perform related tasks, and the second power threshold may be 30%, 50%, or other levels of power sufficient to support the remote control device in continuously controlling the robot 300 to perform related tasks. The specific values ​​of the first and second power thresholds can be set according to the actual task requirements. Therefore, when the remaining power of the power module drops to the first power threshold, the alarm module will issue an alarm reminder through sound, flashing lights, etc., to prompt the user that the remote control device's power is about to run out and needs to be charged in time or other measures need to be taken. When the user charges the remote control device, causing the remaining power of the power module to rise to the second power threshold, the alarm module will stop the alarm reminder, informing the user that the power has been restored to a safe range and the remote control device can continue to be used normally. Thus, by setting up an alarm module, it is possible to effectively prevent the remote control device from suddenly stopping due to insufficient power, which would affect the normal control and use of the robot 300 and improve the reliability and stability of the system.

[0041] In another optional embodiment, to ensure that the current remaining power of the remote control device is sufficient to support the continuous remote control of the robot 300 to complete relevant tasks, the remote control device provided in this embodiment may further include a locking module (not shown in the figure). The locking module is used to lock the connection between the connecting end and the docking end 110 when the charging module is charging the power module and the current remaining power is lower than the second power threshold, and to unlock the connection between the connecting end and the docking end 110 when the current remaining power is not lower than the second power threshold. Thus, when the remote control device is electrically connected to the robot 300 and charging, if the current remaining power of the power module is lower than the second power threshold, the locking module will immediately activate to firmly lock the connecting end and the docking end 110, preventing connection interruption due to external force, ensuring continuous and stable charging, effectively avoiding charging interruption caused by loose connection when the power is low, and ensuring that the remote control device can replenish power in a timely manner.

[0042] For example, the locking module can maintain a stable electrical connection even in the event of vibration or impact. When the charging module continues to operate and the remaining power of the power module rises to or above the second power threshold, the locking module will automatically unlock, restoring the free detachment function between the connection end and the docking end 110. At this time, the user can remove the remote control device for operation normally without additional manual unlocking. This embodiment ensures both charging reliability when the battery is low and ease of use when the battery is high, significantly improving the adaptability of the remote control device in complex scenarios.

[0043] In this embodiment of the invention, a specific example will be used to describe in detail the charging process of the remote control device. For details, please refer to [link to specific examples]. Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a charging control method for a remote control device provided in an embodiment of this utility model, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, during normal operation of the remote control device, the system will monitor the current remaining battery power in real time. When the current remaining power is not higher than the first power threshold, such as 20%, the system will immediately activate the alarm module and issue an alarm reminder through sound, flashing lights, etc., to remind the user that the remote control device is low on power and needs to be charged in time.

[0044] At this time, if the user connects the remote control device to the docking terminal 110 on the robot 300, the system will automatically detect the interface connection status between the remote control device and the robot 300. If the connection is normal, the charging protocol handshake will be initiated and the constant current charging mode will be entered to convert the electrical energy provided by the robot 300 into a form of electrical energy suitable for the power module to store through the charging module, and to replenish the power module with electricity in real time.

[0045] During charging, the system continuously monitors the remaining power level of the power module. When the power level rises to or above the second power threshold, such as 90%, the alarm module will stop alerting, informing the user that the power level has returned to a safe range. Simultaneously, if the locking module was activated due to low power, it will automatically unlock, restoring the free detachment function of the connection end and docking end 110, maintaining a detachable standby state, allowing the user to normally remove the remote control device for operation.

[0046] Thus, the charging control method provided in this embodiment ensures that the remote-controlled device promptly reminds the user to charge when the battery is low, and monitors battery level changes in real time during charging, automatically adjusting the charging mode and status to ensure safe and efficient charging. Simultaneously, the locking module effectively prevents charging interruptions caused by loose connections when the battery is low, further improving the reliability and stability of the remote-controlled device. Furthermore, after charging is complete, the system automatically restores the normal function of the remote-controlled device, allowing users to seamlessly switch to usage mode, enhancing the overall user experience of the remote control system.

[0047] This concludes the description of the remote control system for the robot provided in this embodiment.

[0048] In summary, this utility model embodiment provides a remote control system for a robot, including a docking structure 100 and a remote control device. The docking structure 100 is provided with an installation end and a docking end 110. The docking structure 100 is installed on the robot body through the installation end and the docking end 110 is exposed. The remote control device is provided with a wireless communication module and a remote control operation module 210. The remote control device is used to wirelessly connect with the robot through the wireless communication module and to control the robot to perform corresponding operations by triggering the remote control operation module 210 by the user. The remote control device is also provided with a connection end, which is used to dock and connect with the docking end 110 to make the remote control device electrically connected to the robot. The remote control device is also used to turn off the corresponding function of the remote control operation module 210 and activate and start the extended function module 220 on the remote control device when the remote control device is electrically connected to the robot. The extended function module 220 includes an audio and video function module.

[0049] By employing the embodiments of this utility model, the following beneficial effects can be achieved: 1) Strong functional expandability, improving the utilization rate of the remote control system: Traditional robot remote control devices usually only have basic remote control functions. However, this embodiment deeply integrates the built-in hardware of the remote control device (such as GPS module, touch screen, processor, etc.), thereby enabling the development of new functions such as audio and video calls, real-time positioning, and debugging tools without increasing hardware costs, significantly improving the overall utilization rate of the remote control device. At the same time, an automatic activation and shutdown mechanism is adopted to ensure that the extended functions are only activated when mounted, avoiding interference with basic remote control operations, and balancing functional richness and operational simplicity. 2) Reduce development costs and shorten integration cycle: Compared with developing external functional modules (such as independent communication devices or positioning devices) for robots, this embodiment directly reuses the existing hardware resources of the remote control device. Multifunctional expansion can be achieved by loading the corresponding driver, which greatly reduces hardware procurement and system integration costs. At the same time, the modular design supports flexible addition and deletion of subsequent functions, which is convenient to adapt to different application scenarios. 3) Intelligent charging management enhances user experience: Through real-time monitoring and tiered early warning mechanisms for battery power status, users can keep track of the power status of the remote control device in a timely manner; at the same time, combined with the charging interface design of the robot itself, it can achieve a seamless charging experience of "plug and charge" and avoid work interruption due to insufficient power. 4) Automatic state switching and high operational reliability: Through seamless switching of function modes, such as automatically activating the extended function when mounted and immediately restoring basic remote control when detached, no manual intervention is required throughout the process, which reduces the risk of misoperation and ensures the independent and stable operation of each functional module.
