Abstract
A device for guiding a mobile robot may include a vehicle information receiving module configured to receive vehicle information including vehicle type information of a vehicle having entered the process from a manufacturing execution system (MES), a guide information acquisition module configured to acquire guide information set to guide an operation of the mobile robot based on the vehicle information, a guide line projecting module configured to project a guide line on a vehicle workspace by driving a projector according to the guide information, and a mobile robot control module configured to recognize the projected the guide line, and control the mobile robot along the recognized the guide line.
Claims20
A device for guiding a mobile robot, comprising:
- a vehicle information receiving module configured to receive vehicle information comprising vehicle type information of a vehicle having entered the process from a manufacturing execution system (MES);
- a guide information acquisition module configured to acquire guide information set to guide an operation of the mobile robot based on the vehicle information;
- a guide line projecting module configured to project a guide line on a vehicle workspace by driving a projector according to the guide information;
- and
- a mobile robot control module configured to recognize the projected the guide line, and control the mobile robot along the recognized the guide line.
A device for guiding a mobile robot, comprising:
- a guide information acquisition module configured to acquire a predetermined first guide information to guide an operation of the mobile robot based on first vehicle information comprising vehicle type information of a first vehicle, and a predetermined second guide information to guide the operation of the mobile robot based on second vehicle information comprising vehicle type information of a second vehicle having a different vehicle type from the first vehicle;
- a guide line projecting module configured to project first guide line on a vehicle workspace by driving a projector according to the first guide information, when the first vehicle has entered the process;
- and
- a mobile robot control module configured to recognize the projected first guide line, and control the mobile robot along the recognized first guide line,
- wherein, when the second vehicle has entered the process, the guide line projecting module is configured to stop projection of the first guide line, and project second guide line on the vehicle workspace by driving the projector according to the second guide information, and
- Wherein the mobile robot control module is configured to recognize the projected second guide line, and control the mobile robot along the recognized second guide line.
