Delivery Robot Compartment Position Display for Error-Free Picking
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing delivery robots rely heavily on user familiarity with customized compartment identifiers, leading to potential misplacement of items due to incorrect operation, which affects picking and delivery efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A compartment display method that determines the actual spatial position of the to-be-used-compartment and displays this information in a preset interface of the delivery robot, using compartment position prompt information to facilitate accurate and rapid item retrieval.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If compartment identifiers are customized using different setting rules, then each item storage compartment can be uniquely identified, but pickers may operate wrong compartments due to unfamiliarity with the rules, causing misplacement of goods
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses augmented reality technology to create a virtual overlay that copies and displays the actual spatial positions of compartments and items in the physical world. This virtual representation provides intuitive visual guidance to pickers, showing exactly which compartment contains which item without requiring them to understand complex identification rules
Solution Approach 2:
The AR display interface acts as an intermediary between the compartment identification system and the picker. Instead of directly showing compartment identifiers that require interpretation, the system provides visual guidance through virtual overlays that directly indicate where to find items, mediating the interaction between the picker and the storage system
2Reliability
If pickers rely on compartment identifiers with customized rules, then compartments can be distinguished, but time is wasted when mistakes are detected and corrected, affecting picking and delivery efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by providing visual guidance before the picker actually retrieves an item. The AR display shows the exact location and contents of compartments in advance, allowing pickers to plan their actions correctly from the start and avoid mistakes that would require correction later
Solution Approach 2:
The AR system provides real-time feedback to pickers about which compartment contains which item and whether the correct item has been retrieved. This immediate feedback mechanism prevents errors and allows for quick correction if mistakes occur, maintaining high productivity

AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a compartment display method, a delivery robot, and a storage medium. The method includes: obtaining a picking order that is being executed by a delivery robot, determining a to-be-picked-item that corresponds to the picking order, and determining a to-be-used-compartment that corresponds to the to-be-picked-item; and displaying, in a preset display interface of the delivery robot, compartment position prompt information corresponding to an actual spatial position of the to-be-used-compartment.
