    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a navigation map updating method as well as an apparatus, and a robot using the same. The method includes: controlling a robot to move along a designated path after a successful relocalization of the robot, and recording key frame data of each frame on the designated path and a corresponding pose; creating a new navigation map, and copying information in an original navigation map into the new navigation map; and covering the key frame data of each frame on the designated path onto the new navigation map to obtain an updated navigation map. In this manner, there is no need for the user to manipulate the robot to recreate the map at the environment where the robot is operated, which saves a lot of time and manpower.

    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.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a zero moment point jitter processing method as well as an apparatus and a robot using the same. The method includes: obtaining left foot force information and right foot force information collected by sensors; calculating a first zero moment point and a second zero moment point of soles of two feet of a robot based on the left foot force information and the right foot force information; calculating a third zero moment point of the robot according to the first zero moment point and the second zero moment point; calculating a jitter amplitude of the third zero moment point within a preset period; and adjusting a position of the third zero moment point in response to the jitter amplitude being not larger than a predetermined jitter amplitude threshold. In this manner, the robot can eliminate zero moment point jitters within a certain amplitude.

    Abstract: A brake assembly for a servo including a motor includes: a brake disk fixed to and rotatable together with the output shaft of the motor of the servo, the brake disk having a lateral wall defining at least one opening; and a linear motion actuator including a plunger and an elastic member. The plunger sides from a first position where a first end of the plunger is received in the at least one opening to a second position where the first end of the plunger is disengaged from the brake disk when the linear motion actuator is energized. The elastic member applies an elastic force to cause the plunger to slide from the second position to the first position when the linear motion actuator is deenergized so as to stop rotation of the output shaft of the motor.
