Apparatus and method for rack modeling

Abstract

A rack modeling apparatus includes: a buffer; a memory; a communication module for communicating with a robot that is equipped with a 2D LiDAR and configured to move inside a logistics factory provided with a plurality of racks; and a processor connected to the buffer, the memory, and the communication module. The processor repeatedly performs, at a predetermined set period, an operation including: acquiring point cloud data through the communication module; detecting a rack model based on the acquired point cloud data; storing the detected rack model in the buffer when the detected rack model is not stored in the buffer; assigning a preset score to the detected rack model when the detected rack model is already stored in the buffer; and storing, in the memory, a rack model having a score equal to or greater than a predetermined reference score among the rack models stored in the buffer.
