Abstract: The present disclosure provides a map generation method, localization method, and simultaneous localization and mapping method. The method includes: recognizing fiducial markers in the motion area; taking a position as origin of a global coordinate system of the robot, and obtaining pose information of the fiducial markers; the robot moving to a next position, recognizing the fiducial markers with determined coordinate information and underdetermined coordinate information respectively, and obtaining pose information of the fiducial marker of the undetermined coordinate information with respect to the origin based on that of the determined coordinate information; repeating the previous step until the pose information of all the fiducial markers are obtained; and generating a marker map associated with coordinate information of all fiducial markers. The method is capable of generating a map of the motion area through the fiducial markers and further realizing autonomous localization.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a recharging robot system. The recharging robot system may include a signal emission device including at least one signal emission channel. The at least one signal emission channel each comprises an opening. A distance between two central axes of any two adjacent signal emission channels is gradually increased along a direction facing away the signal emitters. As such, an overlapping area of signal ranges of the at least two signal emitters may be reduced, and the robot may accurately determine which signal range that the robot is within, so as to accurately align with the recharging dock.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a robot-based 3D picture shooting method and system and a robot using the same. The method includes: obtaining a distance between a photographed object and the photographing device of the robot based on a received shooting instruction; calculating an inter-axis distance based on the distance; obtaining the first picture after moving the robot for half of the inter-axis distance along the movement direction; obtaining the second picture after moving the robot for entire of the inter-axis distance from a current position along an opposite direction of the movement direction; and synthesizing the first picture and the second picture to obtain a 3D picture of the photographed object. In the process, the robot moves the photographing device according to the calculated inter-axis distance, and obtains two pictures of the left and right of the photographed object, which is not necessary to use a binocular camera.

The method includes: obtaining a motion state of the biped robot by a position sensor; determining switching moments in an advancing direction of the biped robot, based on the motion state of the biped robot; finding the mass center position of the biped robot at each switching moment; connecting the mass center positions at the switching moments as an equivalent trajectory of the biped robot; and performing a closed loop control on the biped robot according to the equivalent trajectory. Through the method, the overall real-time position of the robot can be obtained according to the equivalent trajectory effectively, which is advantageous to perform a stable and reliable control to the biped robot according to the equivalent trajectory of the biped robot.
