Abstract: A pose calibration method, a robot, and a computer readable storage medium are provided. The method includes: obtaining, through a depth camera on a robot, a depth image including a target plane (i.e., a plane where the robot is located); determining point cloud data corresponding to the depth image; and calibrating a target pose of the depth camera based on the point cloud data and a preset optimization method, that is, calibrating a pitch angle and a roll angle of the depth camera and a height of the depth camera in a coordinate system of the robot. In this manner, the accuracy of the calibration of the target pose can be effectively improved while simple in implementation and small in calculation amount, and the efficiency of the calibration of the target pose can be improved so as to improve the user experience.

Abstract: A robotic motion control method provided by the present disclosure includes: obtaining a position and orientation of a starting point where the robot is currently located through a positioning sensor, and obtaining a position and orientation of a preset target point where the robot is moved to; determining an arc path and a straight path of the robot according to the position and orientation of the starting point, the position and orientation of the preset target point, and a preset arc radius; and moving the robot to the preset target point according to the determined arc path and straight path. Because there are only pure circular motion and pure linear motion which are simple during the movement of the robot, it is beneficial to improve the precision of the motion control of the robot and enable the robot to reach the target position in a reliable manner.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to robot technology, and particularly to a method, a device, and a robot for identifying charging station. The method includes: first, obtaining scanning data produced by a radar of the robot; then, determining whether an arc-shaped object exists in a scanning range of the radar of the robot based on the scanning data; finally, in response to determining that the arc-shaped object exists in the scanning range of the robot, determining that the arc-shaped object is a charging station. Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure substitutes the arc identification for the conventional concave-convex structure identification. Since the surface of the arc is relatively smooth, the data jumps at the intersection of the cross-section will not occur, hence the accuracy of charging station identification can be greatly improved.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a movement control method for a robot as well as an apparatus and a robot using the same. The method includes: obtaining a starting position and an ending position of the robot, in response to a movement instruction being detected; determining a movement path of the robot based on the starting position and the ending position; obtaining pass qualification information of the robot, if the movement path intersects a line corresponding to a preset virtual wall; and moving the robot to the ending position according to the movement path, if the pass qualification information identifying the robot is allowed to traverse the virtual wall. By obtaining the pass qualification information, the robot can return to the working area from the non-working area in the case of an abnormality, while ensuring that the robot does not actively traverse from the working area to the non-working area.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a robot distance measuring method and apparatus as well as a robot using the same. The method includes: obtaining a plurality of relative position parameters of a robot from a plurality of ranging sensors; determining an installation distance between each two of the ranging sensors based on the plurality of relative position parameters; determining a sum of the installation distance of each looping arrangement of the plurality of ranging sensors based on the installation distance between each two of the ranging sensors; and enabling the plurality of ranging sensors sequentially to perform obstacle ranging according to a preset looping rule. Since the adjacent ranging sensors are avoided to range simultaneously or sequentially, the interference of the adjacent ranging sensors can be minimized, the accuracy of measuring the distance of the surrounding obstacles can be improved, thereby improving the navigation performance of the robot.
