    摘要: The present disclosure provides a robot path planning method as well as an apparatus and a robot using the same. The method includes: obtaining a grid map and obtaining a position of obstacle and a position of track in the grid map; determining a cost of grids of the grid map based on the position of obstacle and the position of track; generating a grid cost map based on the cost of the grids and the grid map; and planning a global path of the robot from a current position to a destination position based on the grid cost map. In this manner, it effectively integrates free navigation and track navigation, thereby improving the flexibility of obstacle avoidance and ensuring the safety of obstacle avoidance of the robot.

    摘要: A robot autonomous operation method, a robot, and a computer-readable storage medium are provided. The method includes: moving the robot, under a control of a user, along a guide path in an operation scene; generating a map including the guide path by positioning and mapping during the robot being moved along the guide path in the operation scene; generating a plurality of operation points on the guide path in the map; generating an operation path, wherein the operation path passes through all of the unpassed operation points and has a shortest total distance; and moving the robot, according to the operation path, to each of the unpassed operation points so as to perform an operation. In this manner, it controls the robot to explore the guide path in the operation scene by manual guiding, which can improve the exploration efficiency and reduce the risk of exploring unknown operation scenes.
