  • Publication number: 20230333562
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a warehousing robot control method and apparatus, a device, and a storage medium. In the method in the embodiments of the present disclosure, a preset area is arranged near a workstation, and a throttling condition corresponding to the preset area is set. When the number of the robot in the preset area meets the throttling condition, a scheduling server sends an avoidance instruction to a warehousing robot that meets an avoidance condition, the avoidance instruction being used for indicating an operation of the warehousing robot that meets the avoidance condition stopping entering the preset area. If an avoidance instruction is received, a warehousing robot enters an avoidance state and stops moving toward a preset area of a workstation allocated to the warehousing robot. This can reduce the number of warehousing robots that wait near a workstation, thereby avoiding congestion near the workstation, and improving goods pick-and-place efficiency.
