Abstract
Disclosed are a method and device for determining a driving route of a sorting robot. The method discloses: weighing and scanning on an import platform in response to a sorting robot, and determining a destination of the sorting robot on a sorting map; determining, according to the destination, a target package drop on the sorting map; identifying two dumping points on a route which is perpendicular to an import direction of the import platform among dumping points of the target package drop; respectively calculating the costs of routes from the import platform to the two dumping points; determining the dumping point corresponding to the smaller cost of route to be the target dumping point on the sorting map; determining a preferred package drop route from predetermined package drop routes to be selected from the import platform to the target dumping point; and sending a package drop task including the preferred package drop route to the sorting robot. Further disclosed are a method and device for determining a driving route of a sorting robot. The method and device improve the sorting efficiency of a sorting robot in a warehouse.
