    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a robot motion path planning method, apparatus, and terminal device. The method includes planning a planned path for a robot in a current scene using an open motion planning library (OMPL) database, setting a shortest ideal path as an initial ideal path, calculating a new path between the planned path and the initial ideal path using a dichotomy method, determining whether the new path meets an obstacle avoidance requirement and a structural constraint of the robot in the current scene, making the new path as the new planned path if yes, otherwise determining the new path as a new ideal path, optimizing the planned path using the dichotomy method iteratively until an error between the planned path and the ideal path is within a preset range, and determining the planned path as a motion path of the robot, thereby improving the motion efficiency.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method, apparatus, and terminal device for cliff detection. The method includes: obtaining a detection distance matrix of distances between a camera of a target robot and a ground within a preset detection angle range collected by the camera; obtaining a difference matrix obtained by subtracting a theoretical distance matrix from the detection distance matrix; counting an amount of elements in the difference matrix being greater than a preset first threshold; and determining a cliff is detected if the counted amount of the elements is greater than a preset second threshold. Through the overall consideration of the distance matrix of the distances within the detection angle range, even if a certain part of the ground changes its external conditions such as the color depth and the lightness, the influences on the overall detection result is extremely limited, which makes the detection result more accurate and reliable.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a noise reduction processing method, system and terminal device. In the present disclosure, a position angle of a far-field audio input sound source and a microphone array as well as a rotation angle of a head servo of a robot are obtained, and then a target rotation angle of the robot is calculated. The head servo of the robot is controlled to rotate according to the target rotation angle such that the robot moves along with the far-field sound source, and a beam area is changed according to the target rotation angle to enable a sound source enhancement area to process far-field audios. As a result, the noise reduction performance of the microphone array beam is effectively improved.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a robot centroid position adjustment method as well as an apparatus and a robot using the same. The method includes: obtaining initial values; obtaining a waist velocity adjustment value; calculating a current value of the centroid position; and determining whether a current value of the centroid position is equal to the planning value of the centroid position; if the current value of the centroid position is not equal to the planning value of the centroid position, obtaining the current value of the centroid position to take as an initial value of a next centroid position and returning to the step of obtaining the waist velocity adjustment value until the current value of the centroid position is equal to the planning value of the centroid position. In such a manner, the balance ability of the robot can be improved.

    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.
