Specifically, the words such as “exemplary” or “for example” are used to present related concepts in a specific manner.
In the description of the present application, unless otherwise specified, “a plurality of” means two or more.
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technologies, robots become widely used. It is likely that a plurality of robots are deployed in one application scenario. In this case, there are conflicts in navigation paths of the plurality of robots. When there is a conflict between navigation paths of two robots, a robot with a lower priority may be allowed to be parked in a preset avoidance area, or move into the nearest fork for avoidance, so as to implement the avoidance.
However, in the foregoing avoidance method, after the avoidance completes, the robot usually needs to re-adjust its body to a direction of a navigation path. As a result, a startup time used by the robot is too long after the avoidance completes.
In response to the foregoing problem, an embodiment of the present application provides a collision avoidance method for a moving device. According to the method, a parking direction of a moving device in an avoidance area is adjusted, so that after the moving device is parked in the avoidance area, a body of the moving device may be quickly adjusted to a direction of a navigation path, and thus a startup time used by the moving device after the avoidance completes may be reduced.
The collision avoidance method for a moving device provided by the embodiment of the present application may be applied to a collision avoidance apparatus for a moving device. In a possible implementation, the collision avoidance apparatus for a moving device may be a moving device itself or a chip system in the moving device.
For example, the moving device first determines a target path direction, a first candidate parking direction, and a second candidate parking direction. Then, the moving device determines, based on the target path direction, a target parking direction from the first candidate parking direction and the second candidate parking direction. Finally, the moving device controls, based on the target parking direction, itself to be parked in an avoidance area.
In another possible implementation, the collision avoidance apparatus for a moving device may alternatively be a server communicatively connected to the moving device.
For example, referring to
The server 01 is configured to: determine navigation paths for a plurality of moving devices 02 in the collision avoidance system for a moving device; when there is a conflict between the navigation paths of the plurality of moving devices 02, determine a moving device 02 that needs to preform avoidance; and control the moving device 02 that needs to preform avoidance to move into an avoidance area for parking.
The server 01 is further configured to: determine a target path direction for the moving device 02 that needs to preform avoidance, and determine a first candidate parking direction and a second candidate parking direction; and then determine, based on the target path direction, a target parking direction of the moving device 02 that needs to preform avoidance from the first candidate parking direction and the second candidate parking direction; and finally control, based on the target parking direction, the moving device 02 that needs to preform avoidance to be parked in the avoidance area.
It may be understood that the collision avoidance method for a moving device provided in this embodiment of the present application is applied to a scenario in which there is a conflict between the navigation paths of the plurality of moving devices 02. Unless otherwise explicitly specified, the moving devices 02 in the following description of the embodiments of the present application are all moving devices 02 that need to move into an avoidance area for parking and waiting.
In addition, in the collision avoidance system for a moving device shown in
Referring to
S201: A collision avoidance apparatus for a moving device determines a target path direction of the moving device.
The target path direction is a direction of a navigation path to be used after the moving device is parked in an avoidance area.
In a possible implementation, the collision avoidance apparatus for a moving device may plan a target path for the moving device according to a path algorithm, and then determine the target path direction based on a trend of the target path. For example, the collision avoidance apparatus for a moving device may determine the target path according to a path algorithm such as the Dynamic Window Approach (DWA) or the artificial potential field method. For example, taking the scenario diagram shown in
It may be understood that, for the method of determining the target path according to the path algorithm such as the DWA or artificial potential field method, reference may be made to the related description in the prior art. Details are not repeated herein.
S202: The collision avoidance apparatus for the moving device determines a first candidate parking direction and a second candidate parking direction.
At present, there are generally two types of avoidance areas for a moving device: a preset avoidance area near a wall and a fork. When the moving device is parked for avoidance in the preset avoidance area near a wall, since a length and width of the moving device are not necessarily equal, a movement direction may be along a short side or a long side. If a channel width of a preset movement area is too narrow, when the moving device is parked in the avoidance area, movement of another moving device may be affected. For example, in the scenario diagram shown in
The preset movement area may be an artificially predetermined movement area of a moving device. For example, when the collision avoidance method for a moving device provided in this embodiment of the present application is applied to a scenario such as a hotel, the preset movement area may be a corridor of the hotel.
It may be understood that, in actual application, the boundary of the avoidance area may be a wall or another type of obstacles, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the present application, when the avoidance area is the preset avoidance area near a wall, the avoidance area is within a range of the preset movement area. When the avoidance area is the fork, the avoidance area is not within a range of the preset movement area.
Optionally, in a possible implementation, when the channel width is greater than a preset length, the long and short sides of the moving device have no impact on parking of the moving device. The collision avoidance apparatus for a moving device may determine two different directions parallel to the boundary of the avoidance area as the first candidate parking direction and the second candidate parking direction, respectively. For example, referring to
The preset length may be an artificially predetermined length.
In another possible implementation, when the channel width is less than or equal to the preset length, the long and short sides of the moving device have an impact on parking of the moving device. The collision avoidance apparatus for a moving device may determine the first candidate parking direction and the second candidate parking direction based on a positional relationship between a straight line where a physical long axis of the moving device is located and a straight line where a movement direction of the moving device is located.
In a possible implementation, when a straight line where a physical long axis of the moving device is located and a straight line where the movement direction is located are parallel to each other, it indicates that the movement direction of the moving device is a forward direction of the short side of the moving device. In this case, the collision avoidance apparatus for a moving device may determine two different directions parallel to the boundary of the avoidance area as the first candidate parking direction and the second candidate parking direction, respectively. For example, referring to
In another possible implementation, when the straight line where the physical long axis of the moving device is located and the straight line where the movement direction is located are perpendicular to each other, it indicates that the movement direction of the moving device is a forward direction of the long side of the moving device. In this case, the collision avoidance apparatus for a moving device may determine two different directions perpendicular to the boundary of the avoidance area as the first candidate parking direction and the second candidate parking direction, respectively. Referring to
Alternatively, the avoidance area of the moving device may be a fork. In this case, optionally, the collision avoidance apparatus for a moving device may first determine a target parking area, then identify a boundary, closest to the moving device, within the target parking area as a target boundary, and finally determine two different directions parallel to the target boundary as the first candidate parking direction and the second candidate parking direction, respectively.
The target parking area is the determined avoidance area, which does not belong to the range of the preset movement area.
For example, referring to
S203: The collision avoidance apparatus for the moving device determines, based on the target path direction, a target parking direction of the moving device from the first candidate parking direction and the second candidate parking direction.
Optionally, the collision avoidance apparatus for a moving device may first determine a first direction angle and a second direction angle, and then determine, based on the first direction angle and the second direction angle, the target parking direction from the first candidate parking direction and the second candidate parking direction.
The first direction angle is an angle between the first candidate parking direction and the target path direction, and the second direction angle is an angle between the second candidate parking direction and the target path direction.
Optionally, when the first direction angle is less than the second direction angle, the collision avoidance apparatus for a moving device determines that the first candidate parking direction is the target parking direction; when the first direction angle is greater than the second direction angle, the collision avoidance apparatus for a moving device determines that the second candidate parking direction is the target parking direction; and when the first direction angle is equal to the second direction angle, the collision avoidance apparatus for a moving device determines that the first candidate parking direction or the second candidate parking direction is the target parking direction.
For example, in the schematic diagram of the scenario of the avoidance area shown in
In the schematic diagram of the scenario of the avoidance area shown in
In the schematic diagram of the scenario of the avoidance area shown in
Specifications of a plurality of moving devices in a same application scenario are generally the same. Optionally, a sum of a physical short axis and a physical long axis of a moving device may be determined as the preset length. In this way, when a channel width is less than or equal to the preset length, and a straight line where the physical long axis of the moving device is located and a straight line where a movement direction is located are perpendicular to each other (namely, a case shown in the schematic diagram of the scenario shown in
In the schematic diagram of the scenario of the avoidance area shown in
S204. The collision avoidance apparatus for the moving device controls, based on the target parking direction, the moving device to be parked in the avoidance area.
Optionally, after determining the target parking direction, the collision avoidance apparatus for a moving device may control the moving device to be parked in the avoidance area with a movement direction toward the target parking direction.
Taking the schematic diagram of the scenario of the avoidance area shown in
According to the collision avoidance method for a moving device provided in this embodiment of the present application, a direction of a moving device used when the moving device is parked in an avoidance area (namely, the target parking direction in the present application) is determined based on a target path direction, and the target path direction is a direction of a navigation path to be used after the moving device is parked in the avoidance area. Therefore, according to the technical solution of the present application, a target parking direction that matches the direction of the navigation path may be determined from two candidate parking directions, that is, there is a relatively small angle difference between the direction of the navigation path and the target parking direction. In this way, after the moving device is parked in the avoidance area, the moving device may quickly adjust its body to the direction of the navigation path. Therefore, the collision avoidance method for a moving device provided in the present application may reduce a startup time used by the moving device after the avoidance completes.
