Camera-Guided Garbage Robot Clearing With Real-Time Location Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The clearing efficiency of garbage robots is low due to their inability to accurately detect and locate garbage in their environment, leading to inefficient and imprecise garbage removal.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that utilize a monitoring apparatus with a camera to acquire and analyze images of a monitored region, detect the presence of garbage, calculate its location, and send this information to a garbage robot for precise clearing, employing techniques such as edge detection, image recognition, and comparison of frames to identify garbage and determine its location on a modeled ground.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a garbage robot operates autonomously without external monitoring, then it maintains operational independence, but its garbage detection accuracy and clearing efficiency are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
A monitoring apparatus is introduced as an intermediary between the garbage robot and the environment. This separate monitoring device captures images and detects garbage location, then transmits this information to the robot, allowing the robot to achieve high detection accuracy without incorporating complex sensing systems into its own structure.
2Manufacturing precision
If the garbage robot uses simple operation modes, then it is easy to operate, but it cannot accurately locate and clear garbage
Solution Approach 1:
The monitoring apparatus continuously captures images of the environment and provides real-time feedback about garbage location to the garbage robot. This feedback mechanism enables the robot to accurately locate and clear garbage without requiring complex manual operation or decision-making processes.
3Productivity
If the garbage robot operates only at designated times, then it follows simple scheduling, but it misses opportunities to clear garbage when it is first dropped
Solution Approach 1:
The monitoring apparatus continuously monitors the environment in advance, detecting garbage as soon as it is dropped. This preliminary detection allows the garbage robot to be promptly notified and clear the garbage immediately, preventing accumulation and maximizing clearing efficiency without requiring the robot to operate continuously.

AI summary
The present disclosure, pertaining to the smart home field, relates to a method for clearing garbage and a device for clearing garbage. The method includes: acquiring (201) monitored data of a monitored region; detecting (202), according to the monitored data, whether garbage is present in the monitored region; if garbage is present in the monitored region, acquiring (203) location information of the garbage in the monitored region; and sending (204) the location information of the garbage to a garbage robot, the garbage robot being configured to clear the garbage according to the location information. The present disclosure solves the problem that the clearing efficiency of the garbage robot is low, and achieves the effects of timely clearing the garbage and precisely clearing the garbage according to the location information.
