Robot control method, robot and storage medium
The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a robot control method, a robot and a storage medium. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the robot determines a position when the robot is released from being hijacked based on relocalization operation; determines a task execution area according to environmental information around the position when the robot is released from being hijacked; and afterwards executes a task within the task execution area. Thus, the robot may flexibly determine the task execution area according to the environment in which the robot is released from being hijacked, without returning to the position when the robot is hijacked, to continue to execute the task, then acting according to local conditions is realized and the user requirements may be met as much as possible.
System and method to virtually teach a semi-autonomous device
A virtual teaching system includes a semi-autonomous device to perform a task such as cleaning a target environment. The semi-autonomous device includes one or more sensors configured to record environmental data from the target environment that can be used to construct a virtual environment. The semi-autonomous device is operably coupled to an analysis system. The analysis system includes a processor to perform multiple functions, such as constructing the virtual environment from the recorded environmental data and supporting operation of a user interface. The user interface can be operably coupled to the processor, allowing a human operator to teach a virtual device in the virtual environment to perform an action sequence. Once the virtual device has been taught an action sequence in the virtual environment, the analysis system can transfer the recorded action sequence to the semi-autonomous device for use in the target environment.

Battery apparatus for a robot, methods, and applications
A robotic vacuum cleaner equipped with a holonomic drive that can drive in a given direction, e.g., north (assigned orientation), and move in a different direction, while maintaining its assigned orientation or that of any desired portion of the robot, such as an intake, or any other portion of the robot that is needed for a particular maneuver. The robotic vacuum cleaner includes a removable, chargeable battery system including a battery pack having batteries and a battery management system extending across all the batteries of the battery pack. A housing, including a top cover, surrounds the battery pack and the battery management system (BMS). The top cover extends over the BMS and includes a circuit board therein. A connector is at least partially connected to the BMS and extends through the housing. The connector is configured to transmit signals between the battery management system and the robotic vacuum cleaner.
Robot cleaner
A robot cleaner includes a main body, and a wheel unit including a wheel configured to movably support the main body. The wheel unit is installed in a suspension unit and configured to be movable upward or downward. The suspension unit is configured to absorb impact when the wheel unit moves upward or downward, and is installed in a lifting unit coupled to the main body. The suspension unit is configured to be raised or lowered relative to the lifting unit. The lifting unit includes a lifting drive motor including a rotatable shaft disposed in parallel with a direction in which the suspension unit is configured to be raised or lowered, and a transmission unit configured to transmit a rotation force of the lifting drive motor to the suspension unit.
STRUCTURED LIGHT MODULE AND AUTONOMOUS MOBILE DEVICE
Provided are a structured light module and an autonomous mobile device. A structured light module comprises a camera module and line laser emitters distributed on two sides of the camera module; the line laser emitters emit line laser outwards; and the camera module collects an environmental image detected by the line laser. By virtue of the advantage of high detection accuracy of the line laser, front environmental information may be detected more accurately. In addition, the line laser emitters are located on two sides of the camera module. This mode occupies a small size, may save more space, and is beneficial to expand an application scenario of a line laser sensor.
AUTONOMOUS MOBILE ROBOT
Provided is an autonomous mobile robot, includes a cover, a base and a pressure sensor assembly; the cover includes a top plate and a side plate that are integrally arranged, a connecting portion is formed between the top plate and the side plate, and the connecting portion is at least partially higher than the top plate; the base is arranged below the top plate; and the pressure sensor assembly is arranged in a manner of facing the side plate. The impact of the traditional autonomous mobile robot using a floating bump plate on the positioning accuracy of an optical component may be avoided and the reliability of the autonomous mobile robot during the movement is improved.
