Description

Self-propelled device and map building method thereof
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a self-propelled device and a map building method thereof, and more particularly, to a self-propelled device for performing a predetermined operation in a work space and a map building method thereof.
Background
With the change of science and technology, the traditional manual work of cleaning, routing inspection, carrying … and the like is gradually replaced by an automatic machine, and a self-propelled device is produced at the same time; in the known self-propelled device, a map of a working space is established by an optical sensor in cooperation with a Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) technique, so as to facilitate a subsequent planning of a preset moving path by the map.
For example, because the body size and the working space of the household sweeping robot are relatively small, when the map is built, whether the household sweeping robot moves to cover the whole working space or not is not particularly considered, and whether the household sweeping robot collides with an obstacle or not is not particularly considered, so that a user (customer) can put a small-sized self-propelled device such as the household sweeping robot to randomly move in the working space to build the map.
However, since the size of the machine body and the working space of the commercial sweeping robot are relatively large, when a map is built, it is necessary to consider whether the commercial sweeping robot has moved to cover the whole working space, and also to consider whether the commercial sweeping robot can damage an obstacle, so that when a map is built by a large-scale self-propelled device such as a commercial sweeping robot, an engineer of a manufacturer of the self-propelled device usually carries an external computer into the working space, and the external computer controls the self-propelled device to move in the working space and builds the map by a map building system in the external computer.
Disclosure of Invention
When a large-scale self-propelled device is used for establishing a map, a user (a client) needs to ask an engineer (a manufacturer) to carry an external computer into a working space, the self-propelled device is controlled to move in the working space by matching the professional experience of the engineer (the manufacturer) with a map establishing system in the external computer so as to establish the map of the working space, and the self-propelled device is returned to the user (the client) for use after the map is established; therefore, each time the workspace is changed, the user (customer) needs to ask the engineer (manufacturer) to re-establish the map in the workspace, so the user (customer) will consume many waiting costs and the engineer (manufacturer) will consume many business trip costs, which is very inconvenient!
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a self-propelled device that facilitates map creation.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a map building method using a self-propelled device, which facilitates map building.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a device for performing the self-propelled device mapping method.
The self-propelled device according to the object of the invention comprises: a body movable in a working space; a map building unit arranged on the body; the map building unit is provided with a sensor and a display interface; the sensor can detect a characteristic of the workspace; the display interface displays the detected working space and the undetected working space of the sensor and the positions of the body in the detected working space and the undetected working space in different patterns.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for building a map by a self-propelled device, comprising: providing a working space; providing a self-propelled device, which is provided with a sensor and a display interface; the self-propelled device detects the characteristics of the working space in the working space by the sensor, and the display interface displays the working space detected by the sensor and the working space not detected by the sensor and the positions of the self-propelled device in the detected working space and the non-detected working space in different patterns; and controlling the self-propelled device to move towards the undetected working space in the working space according to the display of the display interface.
According to a further object of the invention, a self-propelled device comprises: a device for executing the map building method of the self-propelled device.
The self-propelled device and the map building method thereof of the embodiment of the invention have the advantages that the display interface on the self-propelled device can display map information in different patterns, so that a user can conveniently refer to the map information displayed by the display interface and control the self-propelled device to move towards the undetected working space in the working space beside the self-propelled device, thereby gradually building the map of the working space.
