    Abstract: A picking and dispatching system includes: a control center, terminals carried by users, and handling devices. The control center is configured to: determine an item storage space of a to-be-picked item included in each of to-be-picked orders, and plan paths for each user and each handling device to reach the item storage space; match, according to each planned path and assigned to-be-picked order, a user and a handling device for picking, to determine to-be-selected tasks, and determine a moment at which a user and a handling device cooperate to pick from the item storage space; determine a target task from the to-be-selected tasks, and send the target task to a terminal and a handling device; assign, according to the target task sent to the handling device, a to-be-picked order to the handling device, and update the stored assignment result of the to-be-picked orders.

    Abstract: Robot scheduling, robot path control and robot fire control methods and devices, a server and a storage medium are provided. The robot scheduling method includes: receiving a scheduling instruction; determining a working state and a current position of a robot in a working area in response to the scheduling instruction; wherein the working state comprises an idle state and a non-idle state; and when the working state of the robot is idle and the current position is outside a preset target range, scheduling the robot from the current position into the target range.

    Abstract: A robot and a robot-based container storage and removal method. The robot comprises: a master control processing unit (110), a pick-and-place mechanism (120) and a marker detection unit (130), wherein according to target storage and removal position information of a target inventory container, the master control processing unit (110) controls a robot body to move to a first horizontal position and controls the pick-and-place mechanism (120) to move to a first height position; when the robot body and the pick-and-place mechanism (120) stop moving, the marker detection unit (130) determines a target pick-and-place marker from a target inventory support to which the target inventory container belongs; and the master control processing unit (110) also calibrates the position of the pick-and-place mechanism (120) according to the position of the target pick-and-place marker, so as to control the calibrated pick-and-place mechanism (120) to perform a storage operation or a removal operation on the target inventory container. By means of the solution, a pick-and-place position of a pick-and-place mechanism (120) of the robot can be precisely positioned and moved, such that the pick-and-place mechanism (120) can quickly and accurately store or remove a target inventory container.

    Abstract: Disclosed are a goods sorting system and method. The system includes a control server, a delivery robot, and a first carrying robot. The control server is configured to determine a delivery port according to a road direction of goods to be delivered, allocate the delivery robot, plan a traveling route for the delivery robot, generate a delivery instruction and send the delivery instruction to the delivery robot. The delivery robot is configured to travel to the delivery port, deliver the goods to be delivered to the delivery port. The control server is further configured to: when the number of goods collected in a target goods collection container below the delivery port is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, allocated the first carrying robot, plan a traveling route for the first carrying robot, generate a carrying instruction and send the carrying instruction to the first carrying robot. The first carrying robot is configured to travel to the target goods collection container according to the traveling route, carry the target goods collection container to a goods collection station. Further disclosed is a server and a storage medium.
