  • Publication number: 20240066697
    Abstract: The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a robot control method, a robot and a storage medium. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the robot determines a position when the robot is released from being hijacked based on relocalization operation; determines a task execution area according to environmental information around the position when the robot is released from being hijacked; and afterwards executes a task within the task execution area. Thus, the robot may flexibly determine the task execution area according to the environment in which the robot is released from being hijacked, without returning to the position when the robot is hijacked, to continue to execute the task, then acting according to local conditions is realized and the user requirements may be met as much as possible.

  • Publication number: 20210247775
    Abstract: Provided is a method for localizing a robot. The robot may move from a current position to a new position during the localizing process, more environment information may be acquired during the new movement, and then the acquired environment information is compared with an environment map stored in the robot, which facilitates successfully localizing a pose of the robot in the stored environment map. In addition, during the movement and localization of the robot, environment information at different positions is generally different, so that similar regional environments may be distinguished, and the problem that an accurate pose cannot be obtained because there may be a plurality of similar regional environments when the robot stays at the original position for localizing may be overcome.

  • Publication number: 20200064481
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an autonomous mobile device, a control method and a storage medium. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the autonomous mobile device performs environment sensing based on environment information acquired by an area array laser sensor to complete various functions, where the environment information acquired by the area array laser sensor comprises high-precision and high-resolution direction and distance information and reflectivity information to obtain environment characteristics with matching and identification values, with strong environment identification capability, and the spatial understanding of the autonomous mobile device on the environment can be improved. Compared with a sensing solution based on an image sensor, the area array laser sensor may provide more accurate distance and direction information and reduce the complexity of sensing operations, thereby improving real-time performance.
