Abstract: The present disclosure provides localization methods and a system using the same. One of the methods includes: broadcasting a ranging frame in a awake state of a localization tag; obtaining a response frame returned by the first anchor according to the ranging frame; updating the ranging anchor list according to the response frame; and calculating a distance between the localization tag and the first anchor based on a time of broadcasting the ranging frame, a time of receiving the response frame, the time of the first anchor receiving the ranging frame, and the time of the first anchor transmitting the response frame. In such a manner, the localization tag is enabled to switch the anchor for ranging in time according to the updated ranging anchor list during movement, thereby automatically ranging with the nearby anchor.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a virtual rail based cruise method as well as an apparatus and a robot using the same. The method includes: obtaining a digital map including a virtual rail; performing a path planning based on the virtual rail, a current position of the robot, and a cruise end point to obtain a cruise path; and obtaining parameter(s) of the robot by calculating through a preset path tracking algorithm based on the cruise path and the current position of the robot, and controlling the robot based on the control parameter(s). In this manner, the problems of the prior art that needs to lay a rail or set an auxiliary device which causes high cost and inconvenience in usage as well as the rail needs to be re-laid or the auxiliary device needs to be reinstalled when the route is to be changed can be solved.

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: A collided position determination method, a computer-readable storage medium, and a robot are provided. The method includes: obtaining, from a collision sensor of the robot, a triggered signal corresponding to a collision of the robot; determining at least two candidate positions of the collision based on the triggered signal corresponding to the collision; obtaining a motion trajectory of the robot after the collision; and obtaining a collided position by screening each of the candidate positions of the collision according to the motion trajectory. In this manner, when the robot collides during its movement, the collision signal generated by the collision sensor of the robot can accurately mark the collided position, thereby reducing the probability of the robot colliding again at the same position.
