Abstract
The present disclosure may provide a transport robot and a method of controlling the same. The transport robot includes a drive device, a first lidar and a second lidar installed on the transport robot, and a processor. The processor controls the drive device to move the transport robot to a lower side of a target object and determines positioning information based on data from both lidars during movement. The processor identifies whether either lidar enters the lower side of the target object, and when one lidar is identified as entering the lower side, determines the positioning information based on data from the non-entering lidar.
Claims20
A transport robot comprising:
- a drive device configured to move the transport robot;
- a first lidar installed on the transport robot and configured to acquire first lidar data directed in a first direction;
- a second lidar installed on the transport robot and configured to acquire second lidar data directed in a second direction;
- and
- a processor configured to control the drive device to move the transport robot to a lower side of a target object and determine positioning information of the transport robot based on the first lidar data and the second lidar data while the transport robot moves to the lower side of the target object,
- wherein the processor identifies whether the first lidar or the second lidar enters the lower side of the target object based on the first lidar data and the second lidar data, and
- wherein when the first lidar or the second lidar is identified as entering the lower side of the target object, the processor determines the positioning information based on lidar data of a lidar that is the first lidar or the second lidar that is not identified as entering the lower side of the target object.
A method of controlling a transport robot comprising a drive device and a processor, the method comprising:
- controlling the drive device so that the transport robot moves to a lower side of a target object;
- determining positioning information of the transport robot based on first lidar data directed in a first direction and acquired by a first lidar and second lidar data directed in a second direction and acquired by a second lidar while the drive device is controlled;
- identifying whether the first lidar or the second lidar enters the lower side of the target object based on the first lidar data and the second lidar data;
- and
- determining the positioning information based on lidar data of a lidar that is the first lidar or the second lidar that is not identified as entering the lower side of the target object when the first lidar or the second lidar is identified as entering the lower side of the target object.
