Abstract

A robot climbing control method is disclosed. The method obtains an RGB color image and a depth image of stairs, extracts an outline of a target object of a target step on the stairs from the RGB color image, determines relative position information of the robot and the target step according to the depth image and the outline of the target object, and controls the robot to climb the target step according to the relative position information. The embodiment of the present disclosure allows the robot to effectively adjust postures and forward directions on any size of and non-standardized stairs and avoids the deviation of the walking direction, thereby improving the effectiveness and safety of the stair climbing of the robot.
