    摘要: The present disclosure provides a positioning method and a robot using the same. The method includes: obtaining, through the visual sensor, a current frame image; obtaining, through the ultra-wideband tag, distance of a robot from an ultra-wideband anchor; performing a feature matching on the current frame image and an adjacent frame image to generate partial map point(s); determining whether the current frame image is a key frame image; and optimizing a pose of the visual sensor corresponding to the key frame image through a joint objective function in response to the current frame image being the key frame image, where the joint objective function at least comprises a distance cost function of the ultra-wideband anchor and a visual residual cost function. Through the above-mentioned method, the accuracy of the positioning of the robot can be improved.

    摘要: A motion control method, a robot controller, and a computer readable storage medium are provided. The method includes: calculating an inverse Jacobian matrix of a whole-body generalized coordinate vector at a current time relative to an actual task space vector of a humanoid robot; calculating a target generalized coordinate vector corresponding to a to-be-executed task space vector at a current moment by combining an actual task space vector and the to-be-executed task space vector into a null space of the inverse Jacobian matrix according to preset position constraint(s) corresponding to the whole-body generalized coordinate vector; and controlling a motion state of the humanoid robot according to the target generalized coordinate vector. In this manner, the motion of the humanoid robot is optimized as a whole to achieve the purpose of controlling the humanoid robot to avoid the limits of the motion of joints.

    摘要: A modular device includes a polyhedral building element having a first type connector and a number of second type connectors; and a main control module comprising a plurality of second type connectors. The first type connector and the second type connectors are disposed on side surfaces of the building element. One of the second type connectors of the main control module is used to magnetically connect with the first type connector of the building element so as to detachably connect the building element to the main control module. The first type connector includes a first detection circuit, and each second type connector includes a second detection circuit.

    摘要: A robot step length control method, a robot controller, and a computer-readable storage medium are provided. The method includes: if it detects that a humanoid robot is not in a balanced state at a current time, it correspondingly obtains a torso deflection posture parameter, a lower limb parameter and a leg swing frequency of the legs of the humanoid robot at the current time; and it calculates, using a swinging leg capture point algorithm, a calculated step length for maintaining a stable state of the humanoid robot that meets a posture balance requirement of the robot at the current time based on the torso deflection posture parameter, the lower limb parameter, and the leg swing frequency, so that the humanoid robot can be restored to the balanced state after moving with the calculated step length, thereby improving the anti-interference ability of the robot.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides an action imitation method as well as a robot and a computer readable storage medium using the same. The method includes: collecting a plurality of action images of a to-be-imitated object; processing the action images through a pre-trained convolutional neural network to obtain a position coordinate set of position coordinates of a plurality of key points of each of the action images; calculating a rotational angle of each of the linkages of the to-be-imitated object based on the position coordinate sets of the action images; and controlling a robot to move according to the rotational angle of each of the linkages of the to-be-imitated object. In the above-mentioned manner, the rotational angle of each linkage of the to-be-imitated object can be obtained by just analyzing and processing the images collected by an ordinary camera without the help of high-precision depth camera.
