  • Patent number: 10518414
    Abstract: The present application provides a navigation method, a navigation system, a movement control system and a mobile robot. The navigation method comprises the following steps: identifying a target object corresponding to a preset object type label from images captured by the image acquisition device; determining the relative position between the target and the mobile robot based on at least one image which contains the identified target and is captured by the image acquisition device; and generating a map marked with the object type label through marking corresponding preset object type label on a preset map based on the relative position, wherein the map is used for navigating the mobile robot. In the present application, mobile robot can move to the destination position after the destination position contained in the user instruction being identified based on the object type labels on the map, so as to improve human-computer interactivity.
