Abstract
Method and apparatus for working-place backflow of robots, comprising: acquiring current coordinates of robots currently in an idle state in a working place; acquiring all destination coordinates where the robots are going to return; calculating, according to distances and time from the current coordinates to all destination coordinates, target destination coordinates nearest to the current coordinates; controlling the robots to move out of the working place according to backflow paths corresponding to the target destination coordinates, ensuring order departure of the robots; performing, when paths intersect, queuing management on the robots, to determine a crowding point zone; setting, according to pass requests sent by robots in the crowding point zone, scheduling commands respectively for the robots in the crowding point zone; and sending the commands respectively to the robots in the crowding point zone, to make the robots having received the commands pass through the crowding point zone based thereon.
