Abstract
A method for controlling robots and facilities is performed by one or more processors and includes controlling a first robot to move to a waiting area of a target space, acquiring information that the first robot is located in the waiting area of the target space, determining whether there is a robot in the target space, controlling, in response to determining that there is no robot in the target space, a door of the target space to be opened, controlling, in response to determining that the door is open, the first robot to leave the waiting area and enter the target space, and controlling the first robot to provide a serving service in target space.
Claims12
A method for controlling robots and facilities, the method being performed by one or more processors and comprising:
- controlling a first robot to move to a waiting area for a target space;
- acquiring information that the first robot is located in the waiting area for the target space;
- determining whether a robot is present in the target space;
- controlling, in response to determining that no robot is present in the target space, a door of the target space to be opened;
- controlling, in response to determining that the door is open, the first robot to leave the waiting area and enter the target space;
- controlling the first robot to provide a serving service in the target space,
- controlling, in response to receiving information that the serving service of the first robot is completed, the first robot to exit the target space;
- determining, in response to determining that an exit of the first robot is completed, whether a second robot to enter the target space is present;
- and
- controlling, based on whether the second robot to enter the target space exists, opening and closing of the door of the target space.
A robot control system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors connected to the memory and configured to execute one or more computer-readable programs included in the memory to cause the robot control system to,
- control a first robot to move to a waiting area for a target space,
- acquire information that the first robot is located in the waiting area for the target space,
- determine whether a robot is present in the target space,
- control, in response to determining that no robot is present in the target space, a door of the target space to be opened,
- control, in response to determining that the door is open, the first robot to leave the waiting area and enter the target space,
- control the first robot to provide a serving service in the target space,
- receive completion information of the serving service of the first robot,
- control, in response to the completion information indicating that the serving service of the first robot is completed, the first robot to exit the target space,
- determine, in response to determining that an exit of the first robot is completed, whether a second robot to enter the target space is present, and
- control, based on whether the second robot to enter the target space is present, opening and closing of the door of the target space.
A building comprising a plurality of robots configured to drive in the building and provide serving services,
- wherein the plurality of robots include a first robot and a second robot,
- the plurality of robots are configured to be controlled by a robot control system, and
- the robot control system includes,
- a memory, and
- one or more processors connected to the memory and configured to execute one or more computer-readable programs included in the memory to cause the robot control system to,
- control a first robot to move to a waiting area for a target space,
- acquire information that the first robot is located in the waiting area for the target space,
- determine whether a robot is present in the target space,
- control, in response to determining that no robot is present in the target space, a door of the target space to be opened,
- control, in response to determining that the door is open, the first robot to leave the waiting area and enter the target space,
- control the first robot to provide a serving service in the target space,
- receive completion information of the serving service of the first robot,
- control, in response to the completion information indicating that the serving service of the first robot is completed, the first robot to exit the target space,
- determine, in response to determining that an exit of the first robot is completed, whether a second robot to enter the target space is present, and
- control, based on whether the second robot to enter the target space is present, opening and closing of the door of the target space.
