上述实施方法中,第一指令包含待送货的位置信息和/或订单信息。这样移动机器人经过远端服务器接收到用户下单预定的信息及目的地的位置。移动机器人依据预设的地图信息估算出取货/送货所需的时间T(即第二指令),并将其发送至远端服务器,达到时间T后远端服务器触发智能设备,向用户发出提醒信息。较佳的,移动机器人依据预设的地图信息估算出取货/送货所需的时间T,并将其发送至远端服务器,智能设备接收远端服务器发送的息并向用户发出提醒(预提醒信息,如,您的订单将于T时间后到达,),这样用户可提前至预定地点(如,门口)取货,降低取货等待时间。较佳的,该第二指令包含估算出取货/送货所需的时间T及响应的机器人的当前位置信息。较佳的,移动机器人基于搭载的地图信息及取货装置当前时刻的信息估算的完成所需的时间。取货装置当前时刻的信息包含,包含取货装置(也称货柜)当前运行情况,如,当前发货的情况、当前排队等待取货的机器人的数量、取货装置维护或加装物品信息等。该第三指令可为,到达提醒信息(如图2a所示),即经估算的时间T后远端服务器向智能设备发送指令,智能设备接收并响应该指令播放提示信息,也可为预提醒信息(如图2b所示),即远端服务器将估算的时间T信息发送至向智能设备,智能设备接收并响应该指令播放提示信息(如,您的订单将于T时间后到达)。到达提醒信息或预提醒信息视应用场合而定。较佳的,可由用户在下订单时选定。
如图2c所示,为一实施方式的移动机器人与智能设备互动的流程示意图,移动机器人基于接收的第一指令往目的地(目标房间)送货时,移动机器人即将到达目的地,机器人估算出到达目标区域所需时间t2约等于(或小于等于)预设时间(T2,如5分钟后到达用户房间门口,具体的视应用场合而定)时生成第六指令并反馈至远端服务器,远端服务器在收到该指令后,远端服务器(后台服务器)通知目标用户房间的智能设备,智能设备接收并响应播报预订的物品即将于5分钟后到达的提示信息,提醒用户做好取货准备。也可为移动机器人直接连接至目标房间的智能设备,将该第六指令传输智能设备,智能设备接收并响应该第六指令播报预订的物品即将于5分钟后到达的提示信息,提醒用户做好取货准备。较佳的,移动机器人基于当前的位置信息、移动速度、路况信息中的一种或其组 合估算到达的时间。较佳的,基于当前的位置信息及移动速度估算到达的时间,或基于当前的位置信息及路况信息估算到达的时间,或基于当前的位置信息估算到达的时间。在其他的实施方式中,移动机器人估算到达目的地的时间小于等于预设的阈值(T2)时,生成第六指令并反馈至远端服务器,可表现为移动机器人估算到达目的地的距离小于等于预设的阈值L(即通过预设的时间阈值T2与移动机器人位置及其移动速度推算出)。
若机器人在送货过程中,基于其的识别装置检测的信息遇到障碍时不能继续进行时,其流程如图3所描述,
依据当前的位置信息判断生成第四指令,并将其发送至远端服务器(由远端服务器通知后台处理)。在一实施方式中,该第四指令直接发送至目标区域的智能设备,若目标区域内的用户接收并响应(即,用户同意自行取货)第四指令,(由用户自行取货)机器人完成第一指令,若目标区域内的用户不响应(可为用户未确认/拒绝或经预设时间t1(如1min,2min,等),用户未确认)第四指令,则将其发送至远端服务器(由远端服务器通知后台处理)。依据当前的位置信息判断生成第四指令的条件包含,故障地点距离目标房间很近(距离l<L,如L选10m,20m等,视应用场景设定)或步行时间<T1(T1如1min,2min,5min等,视应用场景设定)。
在一实施方式中,移动机器人即将到达目的地(即位于目标区域的第一预设距离时,如10m,50m等,具体视应用场景而定),即移动机器人能正确连接至目标区域的智能设备,基于识别装置检测的信息(即成功连接目标房间的智能设备)生成第五指令直接发送至该智能设备,智能设备接收并响应播报预订的物品即将到达的提示信息,提醒用户取货。在一实施方式中,该第五指令的信息反馈至远端服务器,通过远端服务器通知目标房间的智能设备,智能设备接收并响应播报预订的物品即将到达的提示信息,预先提醒用户取货。
在一实施方式中,移动机器人即将到达目的地(即基于自身移动的速度,位于目标区域的第二预设时间时,如2minm,5min等,具体视应用场景而定),移动机器人能正确连接至目标区域的智能设备,基于识别装置检测的信息(即成功连接目标房间的智能设备)生成第五指令直接发送至该智能设备,智能设备接收并响应播报预订的物品即将到达的提示信息,提醒用户取货。在一实施方式中, 该第五指令的信息反馈至远端服务器,通过远端服务器通知目标房间的智能设备,智能设备接收并响应播报预订的物品即将到达的提示信息,提醒用户取货。
在一实施方式中,移动机器人上设置有内置电话拨号***,可拨通指定位置的电话,并以语音播报的形式将信息传输给用户,用户也可以通过播叫固定号段,然后根据语音提示,在电话按钮上输入相应数字(这时商品以预编码的播报,如需要矿泉水请按1等),将需求下达给移动机器人。
在一实施方式中,由于用户的下单产品可能会有多个,这样需要多个移动机器人协同配送。在一实施方式中,一台移动机器人可一次性取得多个产品,对多个第一指令的信息进行送货。
在一实施方式中,智能设备具有可触摸的显示界面,这样用户可通过智能设备具有下单。还具有AI识别***,其上设有语音采集器,能够采用用户的语音信息,并对语音信息进行内容识别提取用户要求,将用户要求和智能设备的位置信息下达给移动机器人,通过无线通信实现和移动机器人的远程交互、信息传递。
