Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for controlling a robot. Some methods include, in response to determining that an object enters a reachable area of the robot, triggering a first sensor to sense a movement of the object; determining first position information of the object based on data received from the first sensor; determining second position information of the object based on second data received from a second sensor; and generating a first prediction of a target position at which the object is operated by the robot. In this way, the robot can complete an operation for the object on the AGV within a limit operation time during which the AGV passes through the reachable area of the robot. Meanwhile, by collecting the sensing data from different sensor groups, a target position at which the object is handled by the robot may be predicted more accurately.
