Abstract

A system and method of controlling obstacle avoidance of a robot. The method includes acquiring current positioning data of the robot, and determining whether an obstacle, spaced from a current position at a distance shorter than a preset distance, exists in a path from the current position to a target position or not according to the current positioning data and position data of all obstacles in a predetermined moving region; if the obstacle exists, calculating the shortest distance between the robot and the obstacle according to the acquired positioning data, a predetermined 3D model of the robot and a predetermined 3D model of the obstacle; calculating a due movement direction of the current robot according to the acquired positioning data, the calculated shortest distance and the 3D model of the obstacle, and controlling a movement posture of the robot according to the calculated movement direction to avoid the obstacles.
