Abstract
An anti-collision method for robot is provided. The method controls a robot to sense a variation of electric field over continuous time via electric field sensor, determine a relative moving direction of an obstacle when detecting the obstacle by the variation of electric field, generate motor control data according to the relative moving direction of the obstacle, and control a motor to rotate according to the motor control data for making a robotic limb move along a dodge vector to dodge the obstacle. The anti-collision method can effectively make the robot dodge automatically before a collision, and prevent the robot or the obstacle from crash and damage.

An anti-collision method applied to a robot, the robot comprising a robotic limb, an electric field sensor installed on the robotic limb, and a motor used to move the robotic limb, the anti-collision method comprising following steps:
- a) sensing a variation of electric field over continuous time via the electric field sensor;
- b) determining a relative moving direction of a first obstacle when detecting the first obstacle by the variation of electric field;
- c) generating motor control data corresponding to a dodge vector according to the relative moving direction;
- and
- d) controlling the motor to rotate according to the motor control data for making the robotic limb be moved along the dodge vector to dodge the first obstacle.
