Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure provides a robot recharge docking method. The method includes: obtaining current radar data of a radar of a robot for a scanned obstacle; obtaining a position of a target object by analyzing the current radar data; controlling the robot to move to a predetermined position around the target object; determining whether infrared carrier data is received by the robot recharge docking apparatus from the target object; determining that the target object is a charging station upon receiving the infrared carrier data from the target object; and docking the robot at the target object to charge if the target object is the charging station. In the above-mentioned manner, the present disclosure can prevent the robot from taking an obstacle similar to a charging station in shape as the charging station to dock at, thereby ensuring the safety of the automatic recharging of the robot.
