Method and apparatus for controlling a mobile robot

An electronic device, comprising:

• an interface;
• a memory on which a computer program is stored;
• and
• one or more processors operably coupled to the interface and the memory, wherein the processing module functions to:
• generate pedestrian assessment information based on perception information of the mobile robot, wherein the perception information includes motion information of the mobile robot, environment information of a surrounding environment, and pedestrian information of a nearby pedestrian, and the pedestrian assessment information includes a pedestrian intent type and a pedestrian event type of the nearby pedestrian;
• generate pedestrian behavior information based on the perception information and the pedestrian assessment information, wherein the pedestrian behavior information includes a predicted position information sequence and a predicted behavior type sequence of the nearby pedestrian in a preset future time period;
• generate information for control use based on the perception information, the pedestrian assessment information, and the pedestrian behavior information, wherein the information for control use includes a position information sequence and an action type sequence of the mobile robot within the preset future time period;
• and
• control the mobile robot based on the information for control use.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium on which a computer program is stored, wherein the computer program, when being executed by or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• generate pedestrian assessment information based on perception information of the mobile robot, wherein the perception information includes motion information of the mobile robot, environment information of a surrounding environment, and pedestrian information of a nearby pedestrian, and the pedestrian assessment information includes a pedestrian intent type and a pedestrian event type of the nearby pedestrian;
• generate pedestrian behavior information based on the perception information and the pedestrian assessment information, wherein the pedestrian behavior information includes a predicted position information sequence and a predicted behavior type sequence of the nearby pedestrian in a preset future time period;
• generate information for control use based on the perception information, the pedestrian assessment information, and the pedestrian behavior information, wherein the information for control use includes a position information sequence and an action type sequence of the mobile robot within the preset future time period;
• and
• control the mobile robot based on the information for control use.
