Method and device for determining driving route of sorting robot

An apparatus for determining a driving route of a sorting robot, the apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions, wherein the instructions when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• determining, in response to weighting and scanning for the sorting robot on an import platform, a destination of the sorting robot in a sorting map;
• determining, according to the destination, a target package drop opening in the sorting map;
• identifying two dumping points on a route perpendicular to an import direction of the import platform from dumping points of the target package drop opening;
• calculating respective route costs of routes from the import platform to the two dumping points;
• determining a dumping point corresponding to the smaller route cost from the two dumping points as a target dumping point in the sorting map;
• determining a preferred package drop route among predetermined to-be-selected package drop routes from the import platform to the target dumping point;
• and
• sending a package drop task comprising the preferred package drop route to the sorting robot.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, storing a computer program thereon, the program, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• determining, in response to weighting and scanning for the sorting robot on an import platform, a destination of the sorting robot in a sorting map;
• determining, according to the destination, a target package drop opening in the sorting map;
• identifying two dumping points on a route perpendicular to an import direction of the import platform from dumping points of the target package drop opening;
• calculating respective route costs of routes from the import platform to the two dumping points;
• determining a dumping point corresponding to the smaller route cost from the two dumping points as a target dumping point in the sorting map;
• determining a preferred package drop route among predetermined to-be-selected package drop routes from the import platform to the target dumping point;
• and
• sending a package drop task comprising the preferred package drop route to the sorting robot.
