The present invention discloses a safety protection method of dynamic detection for mobile robots. The mobile robot is provided with a sensor. Said sensor obtains the obstacle information in the detection areas in front of a mobile robot, and the mobile robot is caused to progressively slow down and dynamically adjust the detection area when an obstacle appears in the detection area. If no obstacle is detected in the detection area after adjusting, then the mobile robot is caused to keep on moving, and if an obstacle is still detected in the detection area after adjusting, then the mobile robot is caused to keep on decelerating until they are stopped. The sensor sets different detection areas according to the traveling speed and traveling direction of the mobile robot, or presets the detection area according to the path and dynamically adjusts it when the mobile robot is running. The safety protection method of dynamic detection for mobile robots of the present invention enables a mobile robot to pass through a path with many obstacles, having good capability of anti-interference and meanwhile ensuring the consistency of the detection range and processing mechanism at curved and linear paths.

Safety protection method of dynamic detection for mobile robots

The present invention discloses a AP switching method for mobile robots based on path setting, including the following steps: install APs in the application environments of mobile robots; control the mobile robots to move along established routes, record the signal strengths of each of the APs on each of the paths of the mobile robots, and determine the AP with the strongest signal strength on each path; configure the MAC addresses of the APs to be connected on each path whereon the mobile robots will move; the mobile robots monitor continuously whether the AP that is connected at the moment coincides with the AP configured for the current path, if not, then switch to the configured AP directly. The present invention can avoid effectively the problem of switching APs excessively frequently, the method is simple and effective, without the need for setting thresholds for signal strengths, and it can decrease uncertainty effectively, which is valuable in the application environments of mobile robots.

A path planning method is provided for mobile robots, including the following steps: Step 1. Searching for available paths according to the destinations of moving of the robots and the nodes properties on the map; Step 2. Determining the optimum path, according to the weights of the segments on all the available paths, with the segments being arbitrary curves made up of Bezier curves or splined curves of a plurality of control points; and Step 3. Driving the robots to move along the optimum path, and to stop at the stop points. The present path planning method for mobile robots increases the ways of connection between the nodes significantly and avoids that there is only a single way of connection between two nodes.
