Abstract

According to various embodiments of the present invention, an electronic device comprises: a memory including instructions and a training database, which includes data, on at least one object, acquired on the basis of an artificial intelligence algorithm; at least one sensor; and a processor connected to the at least one sensor and the memory, wherein the processor can be configured to execute the instructions in order to acquire data on a designated area including the at least one object by using the at least one sensor, identify location information and positioning information on the at least one object on the basis of the training database, and transmit a control signal for picking the at least one object to a picking tool related to the electronic device on the basis of the identified location information and positioning information.

First claim

1 . An electronic device comprising:
a memory comprising a training database, which comprises data on at least one object acquired on the basis of an artificial intelligence algorithm, and instructions; at least one sensor; and a processor coupled with the at least one sensor and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions in order to: acquire data on a specified area comprising at least one object by using the at least one sensor; identify location information and positioning information on the at least one object, on the basis of the training database; and transmit a control signal for picking the at least one object to a picking tool related to the electronic device, on the basis of the identified location information and positioning information.

2 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one sensor comprises a sensor for measuring at least one of whether the at least one object is comprised in the specified area, a shape of the at least one object, a location of the at least one object, and a position of the at least one object.

3 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the data on the specified area comprises information representing an image related to the specified area.

4 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the location information of the at least one object comprises at least one of an x-axis value, a y-axis value, or a z-axis value on the specified area of the at least one object, and
the positioning information of the at least one object comprises at least one of information on a yaw of the at least one object, information on a roll, or information on a pitch.

5 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions in order to:
provide a location map representing the location information, on the basis of the identified location information of the at least one object; and provide a position map representing the location information, on the basis of the identified positioning information of the at least one object.

6 . The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions in order to:
provide the location map and the position map, on the basis of the artificial intelligence algorithm; and transmit a control signal for picking the at least one object to the picking tool related to the electronic device, on the basis of the provided location map and the provided position map.

7 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the instructions in order to:
process the data on the specified area, the location information of the at least one object, and the positioning information, on the basis of the artificial intelligence algorithm; and update the training database on the basis of the processing, and wherein the training database comprises the location information of the at least one object, the positioning information of the at least one object, and video information of the at least one object, and the video information comprises virtual data representing the at least one object, and information provided on the basis of the artificial intelligence algorithm.

8 . A method of an electronic device, the method comprising:
acquiring data on a specified area comprising at least one object by using the at least one sensor; identifying location information and positioning information on the at least one object, on the basis of a training database which comprises data on the at least one object acquired on the basis of an artificial intelligence algorithm; and transmitting a control signal for picking the at least one object to a picking tool related to the electronic device, on the basis of the identified location information and positioning information.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one sensor comprises a sensor for measuring at least one of whether the at least one object is comprised in the specified area, a shape of the at least one object, a location of the at least one object, and a position of the at least one object.

10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the data on the specified area comprises information representing an image related to the specified area.

11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the location information of the at least one object comprises at least one of an x-axis value, a y-axis value, or a z-axis value on the specified area of the at least one object, and
the positioning information of the at least one object comprises at least one of information on a yaw of the at least one object, information on a roll, or information on a pitch.

12 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
providing a location map representing the location information, on the basis of the identified location information of the at least one object; and providing a position map representing the location information, on the basis of the identified positioning information of the at least one object.

13 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising:
providing the location map and the position map, on the basis of the artificial intelligence algorithm; and transmitting a control signal for picking the at least one object to the picking tool related to the electronic device, on the basis of the provided location map and the provided position map.

14 . The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
processing the data on the specified area, the location information of the at least one object, and the positioning information, on the basis of the artificial intelligence algorithm; and updating the training database on the basis of the processing, wherein the training database comprises the location information of the at least one object, the positioning information of the at least one object, and video information of the at least one object, and the video information comprises virtual data representing the at least one object, and information provided on the basis of the artificial intelligence algorithm.

15 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for storing one or more programs for executing:
acquiring data on a specified area comprising at least one object by using at least one sensor; identifying location information and positioning information on the at least one object, on the basis of a training database which comprises data on the at least one object acquired on the basis of an artificial intelligence algorithm; and transmitting a control signal for picking the at least one object to a picking tool related to an electronic device, on the basis of the identified location information and positioning information.
