It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present disclosure may be practiced without some of these specific details. In some instances, methods, means, elements and circuits that are well known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the present disclosure.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the situation that two robots cooperatively pick up objects in a preset area is emphatically studied, and a robot pick-up sequence determining method is provided, so that the pick-up sequence is optimized to the maximum extent, the robot working efficiency is improved, and the picking speed of articles in the preset area is accelerated.
As shown in fig. 1, a method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes:
s101, determining a preset area, wherein objects in the preset area are used for being picked up by a first robot or a second robot.
And S102, acquiring the distribution of the objects in the preset area.
The distribution acquisition method of the object in the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited, and may be preset or acquired through communication with other devices.
S103, determining a first pick-up sequence corresponding to the first robot and a second pick-up sequence corresponding to the second robot according to the distribution of the objects in the preset area.
Specifically, the preset area is divided into a first area Q1, which is an area that the first robot can reach and is not likely to have any collision with the second robot, a second area Q2, which is an area that the second robot can reach and is not likely to have any collision with the first robot, and a third area Q3, which is an area that both the first robot and the second robot can reach and is likely to have a collision. Determining the first pick sequence and the second pick sequence based on the distribution of articles in the first zone, the distribution of articles in the second zone, and the distribution of articles in the third zone.
As shown in fig. 2, said determining the first pick sequence and the second pick sequence based on the distribution of articles in the first zone, the distribution of articles in the second zone, and the distribution of articles in the third zone comprises:
s1, counting a first quantity of the articles in the first area, a second quantity of the articles in the second area and a third quantity of the articles in the third area.
Please refer to fig. 3, which illustrates a partition diagram of an embodiment. There are three articles A, B, C in the first zone, three articles D, E, F in the second zone, and four articles G, I, J, K in the third zone, with the first, second, and third numbers being 3, and 4, respectively.
S2, sequencing the articles in the first area to obtain the first picking sequence, and sequencing the articles in the second area to obtain the second picking sequence.
The disclosed embodiments do not define a method of ordering items in a first zone and do not define a method of ordering items in a second zone, which may be the same or different. The sorting may be random, and the sorting result may be ABC or BCA, taking the first pick-up sequence as an example. In some embodiments, the method of sorting the first zone items may further be:
1. and selecting the article closest to the current position of the first robot in the first area as the current article, and joining the first pick sequence. Taking fig. 3 as an example, the first pick sequence at this time may be expressed as { a }.
2. An item that was not previously selected and is closest in distance to the current item is selected in the first zone as a new current item to join the first pick sequence. Taking fig. 3 as an example, the first pick sequence at this time may be expressed as { A, B }.
3. In the case where the unselected item still exists in the first area, the above step is repeatedly performed. Taking fig. 3 as an example, the first pick sequence may be expressed as { A, B, C }. Accordingly, the second pick-up sequence may be expressed as { D, E, F }.
This sequencing may minimize the path of motion of the first robotic end effector, particularly if the end effector has grasped the article and then has transported the article directly from a transport space in communication with the end effector.
If the third number is zero and the first number is equal to the second number, the first pick sequence and the second pick sequence may have been completely determined so far.
If the first number is not equal to the second number, taking the case that the first number is greater than the second number as an example, S2 is performed through the following steps, and needless to say, the same reason that the first number is less than the second number is used.
(a) In response to a condition that the first number is greater than the second number, determining a difference between the first number and the second number.
Taking fig. 4 as an example, it shows a partition diagram in another case. There are four articles A1, B1, C1, D1 in the first zone Q1, two articles E1, F1 in the second zone, one article G1 in the third zone, the first, second and third numbers being 4, 2, 1 respectively. The difference between the first number and the second number is 2.
(b) And in response to the third quantity being less than or equal to the difference, sorting the articles in the first area to obtain a first pick sequence, and sorting the articles in the second area and the articles in the third area to obtain a second pick sequence. The first pick sequence and the second pick sequence may thus be fully determined.
Taking fig. 4 as an example, four articles of the first zone are arranged in the first pick sequence, two articles of the second zone and all articles of the third zone are arranged in the second pick sequence. For example, the first pick sequence can be { A1, B1, C1, D1} and the second pick sequence can be { E1, F1, G1}.
(c) In response to the situation that the third quantity is larger than the difference value, sorting the articles in the first area to obtain a first pick sequence, sorting the articles in the second area to obtain a third pick sequence, selecting the different articles in the third area to sort to obtain a fourth pick sequence, and connecting the third pick sequence and the fourth pick sequence to obtain the second pick sequence.
Taking fig. 5 as an example, it shows a partition diagram in another case. There are four articles A1, B1, C1, D1 in the first zone, two articles E1, F1 in the second zone, three articles K1, G1, T1 in the third zone, the first, second and third numbers being 4, 2, 3 respectively. The difference between the first number and the second number is 2.
In fig. 5, four articles of the first area Q1 are arranged in the first pick sequence, two articles of the second area and two of the articles of the third area are arranged in the second pick sequence. For example, the first pick sequence can be { A1, B1, C1, D1}, the third pick sequence can be { E1, F1}, the fourth pick sequence can be { G1, T1}, and the second pick sequence can be { E1, F1, G1, T1}. For how to determine the fourth pick sequence, the following method may be taken in one embodiment:
10. and selecting the article closest to the last article in the third pick sequence in the third area as the current article, and adding the fourth pick sequence.
20. Randomly selecting a previously unselected item in the third zone as a new current item, and adding a fourth pick sequence.
30. In the case where the number of selected articles in the third area does not reach the above difference, the previous step is repeatedly performed.
This fourth pick sequence determination may save the motion path of the second robot and ensure the generation speed of the second pick sequence.
In another embodiment, another way of determining the fourth pick sequence may also be provided:
100. and selecting the article closest to the last article of the third pick sequence in the third area as the current article, and adding the fourth pick sequence.
200. And selecting the item with the highest compactness as a new current item from the previously unselected items in the third area, and adding the fourth pick sequence.
The compactness is characterized by surrounding environment information of the articles, and if other articles exist at a position near the periphery of one article W1 and any other articles do not exist at a position near the periphery of the other article W2, the compactness of the article W1 is greater than that of the article W2. The compactness is the congestion degree of the environment where the characteristic object is located, and can be calculated through the following formula
Figure RE-GDA0003414772860000061
Wherein w denotes an item, w e Representing each article adjacent to article w, | w-w e | | denotes w and w e The distance of (c).
300. In the case where the number of selected articles in the third area does not reach the above difference, the previous step is repeatedly performed.
This fourth pick sequence determination may increase the time in which the first robot and the second robot may operate synchronously with a high probability. Because this manner of determination may minimize the degree of crowding among items in the third zone, the reduced crowding of items facilitates synchronized picking.
The articles in the first pick-up sequence and the second pick-up sequence obtained in the steps (a-c) can be picked synchronously, so that the picking efficiency is improved, and if the sorting of details can be combined with the above (1-3), the technical effect of shortening the motion path of the end effector can be achieved.
After the foregoing is performed, if the first preset condition is met, the following operations are further performed: executing a first algorithm for selecting a first item and a second item in a third zone and augmenting the first pick sequence based on the first item and augmenting the second pick sequence based on the second item, the operations of the first robot to pick up the first item and the second robot to pick up the second item being defined to be executed in synchronization; the first algorithm is repeatedly executed until a first termination execution condition is reached.
The first preset case includes two cases: (1) The third number is not zero and the first number is equal to the second number. (2) The first quantity is not equal to the second quantity, but there are still unselected items in the third zone after the above steps are performed.
The first termination execution condition also includes two cases: in the third region, there is no article that has not been selected (the first article cannot be selected) or the second article cannot be selected after the first article is selected.
In one embodiment, the execution of the first algorithm, which may be described as a1-b1, may shorten the path of movement of the first robot as much as possible and facilitate synchronous picking by reducing the degree of congestion.
(a1) If the first termination condition is not met, taking the article which is closest to the last article in the first pick sequence from the unselected articles in the third area as the first article; and, the article located in the third region and located outside the irradiation region of the first article with the highest tightness is taken as the second article. The radiation area of the first article means that the first robot and the second robot do not collide when the first robot picks up the first article and the second robot picks up the certain article simultaneously as long as the certain article is not located in the radiation area.
(b1) And in the case that the first termination condition is not met, adding the first article to the first pick sequence and adding the second article to the second pick sequence, and continuing the steps until the first termination condition is met.
In one embodiment, the execution of the first algorithm, which may be described as a10-b10, may shorten the movement paths of the first and second robots as much as possible.
(a10) If the first termination condition is not met, taking the article which is closest to the last article in the first picking sequence in the unselected articles in the third area as the first article; and taking the item which is located in the third area and outside the irradiation area of the first item and is closest to the last item in the second pick-up sequence as the second item.
(b10) And in the case that the first termination condition is not met, adding the first article to the first pick sequence and adding the second article to the second pick sequence, and continuing the steps until the first termination condition is met.
The first and second pick sequences may be fully determined if the first termination condition is triggered and there are no unselected items in the third zone.
After the foregoing is performed, if the first termination execution condition is reached and a candidate item is present in the third area (the candidate item is an item that does not belong to the first pick sequence and does not belong to the second pick sequence), the following operations need to be performed: executing a second algorithm for selecting a third item among the items to be selected in the third area, expanding the first pick sequence based on the third item, and in response to the item to be selected still existing in the third area, selecting a fourth item among the items to be selected in the third area, expanding the second pick sequence based on the fourth item, the operation of the first robot picking up the third item and the operation of the second robot picking up the fourth item being defined as being performed alternately; and repeatedly executing the second algorithm until a second termination execution condition is reached. The alternative execution means that the second robot picks up the fourth article after the operation of picking up the third article by the first robot is completed.
The second termination execution condition includes two cases: the third article cannot be selected or the fourth article cannot be selected. In one embodiment, the execution of the second algorithm may be described as follows:
(a100) And under the condition that a second termination condition is not met, taking an article which is closest to the last article in the first picking sequence from the articles to be selected in the third area as a third article, and adding the third article into the first picking sequence.
(b100) And under the condition that a second termination condition is not met, taking an article which is closest to the last article in the second pick-up sequence from the articles to be selected in the third area as a fourth article, and adding the fourth article into the second pick-up sequence.
(c100) The above steps are continued until a second termination condition is reached.
(a 100-c 100) the movement path of the first robot, and the movement path of the second robot can be shortened as much as possible. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the articles selected through the steps (a 100-b 100) all carry asynchronous tags. And (a 100-c 100) after the execution, the first pick sequence and the second pick sequence are completely determined, and the first robot and the second robot can be controlled to pick up the objects based on the first pick sequence and the second pick sequence. The next action is to control the first robot to sequentially pick up the articles in the first picking sequence and the second robot to sequentially pick up the articles in the second picking sequence.
