For example, when the received robot profile includes lidar sensor information, inertial measurement device sensor information, and camera sensor information, software information (e.g., url address) for installing these may be recorded.
Through the aforementioned embodiment, information that is not present in the cloud server may be created based on the OS information, hardware information, and software information of the robot to provide a specific function to other robots. In other words, it may be possible to create information that is not present in the cloud server and provide converted data and control commands to other robots with heterogeneous OSs installed.
Hereinafter, an embodiment of providing specific functions to different robots will be described.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the cloud server is connected to a second robot 620 having a different capability from a first robot 610, the cloud server may receive OS information, hardware information, and software information of the second robot 620 and convert the work information of the second robot 620 based on these. The cloud server may transmit the converted work information to the second robot 620. Here, the cloud server may convert work information to assign priorities to robots located on a specific path. For example, while multiple robots move, priorities may be assigned to the robots on a specific path, such as an intersection.
Referring to
For example, the first robot 610 may use Linux as an OS thereof, and a vendor may be company A. In this case, to manage the work and schedule of the first robot 610, the cloud server may convert the work and schedule information to be suitable for Linux as the OS of the first robot 610 and a robot of company A as the vendor and transmit the converted information to the first robot 610.
Likewise, even if the second robot 610 uses Android as an OS and a vendor thereof is company B, or a third robot 630 uses ROS as an OS and a vendor thereof is company C, the cloud server may convert and transmit work and schedule information based on the OS information, hardware information, and software information of each robot.
Accordingly, even if the OS, hardware, and software of the first robot 610 to the third robot 630 are all different, the cloud server may convert work and schedule information to be suitable for OS information, hardware information, and software information of each robot to separately control the robot.
The cloud server may recognize capabilities of separate robots through the robot profile received from the robot, and thus may know what works and schedules to manage. For example, when a category in the robot profile is classified as “food delivery,” the cloud server may know whether a corresponding robot is a robot that delivers food. As such, the cloud server may command the latest work items and schedules according to the OS and format of the corresponding robot.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the cloud server is connected a third robot 730 having a different capability from a first robot 710, the cloud server may receive OS information, hardware information, and software information of the third robot 730 from a RAP server (or memory).
When updating a first function of the first robot 710, the cloud server may update a first function of the third robot 730 to be the same as that of the first robot 710 based on the OS information, hardware information, and software information of the third robot 730 through the method described above. In this case, the cloud server may convert the first function of the third robot 730 based on the OS, hardware, and software of the third robot 730 through the robot software converter, and then transmit a signal containing information corresponding to the first function to the third robot 730.
In other words, when updating the first function of the first robot 710 among multiple robots, the first function of the different robots 720 and 730 with heterogeneous OS, hardware, and software installed may be updated to be the same as that of the first robot 710.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a process in which, when the first robot 710 updates a first function, a cloud server updates a first function of the third robot 730 in the same way, will be described. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the cloud server may search, convert, and create the first function of the third robot 730 based on a profile RAProfile of the corresponding robot and remotely install the first function.
In more detail, the cloud server may search the first function of the third robot 730 inside the cloud server. In this case, when the first function for the third robot 730 is present in the cloud server, the first function may be installed in the third robot 730.
There may be a case in which the first function for the third robot 730 is present in the cloud server, but needs to be converted due to mismatch of specification. For example, the first function for the third robot 730 is present, but needs to be converted due to mismatch of sensor information or content information. In this case, the cloud server may create a software image for the first function based on the robot profile for the third robot 730 and install the software image remotely.
Likewise, there may be a case in which a first function for the third robot 730 in the cloud server, but a new image needs to be created due to version mismatch, and the like. In this case, the cloud server may create a software image for the first function with an updated version based on the robot profile for the third robot 730 and remotely install the software image.
Lastly, the first function for the third robot 730 may not be present in the cloud server. In this case, the cloud server may create a software image for the first function based on the robot profile for the third robot 730 and install the software image remotely.
The aforementioned present disclosure can also be embodied as computer readable code stored on a computer readable recording medium. The computer readable recording medium is any data storage device that can store data which can thereafter be read by a computer. Examples of the computer readable recording medium include a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD), a silicon disk drive (SDD), read-only memory (ROM), random-access memory (RAM), CD-ROM, magnetic tapes, floppy disks, optical data storage devices, carrier waves (e.g., transmission via the Internet), etc. The computer may also include the computer 180 of the computer. Thus, it is intended that the present disclosure cover the modifications and variations of this present disclosure provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
The present disclosure may be repeatedly implemented in a cloud server and conversion of a software image in a robot of the cloud server.
