ABSTRACT

A positioning method, apparatus and system for a photovoltaic robot is
disclosed. The method comprises: obtaining three-dimensional point cloud data
of the photovoltaic bracket, wherein the three-dimensional point cloud data is
obtained through a sensing device; determining a target straight line based on
the three-dimensional point cloud data, wherein the target straight line
comprises a straight line where a target structure of the photovoltaic bracket
is located, and the target straight line is located in the plane where the
photovoltaic bracket is located; determining the position information based on
a first rotation matrix between a first coordinate system of the sensing
device and a second coordinate system of the photovoltaic robot, as well as
the target straight line; wherein the position information indicates a
relative position relationship between the photovoltaic robot and the target
structure. Thus, the photovoltaic robot is positioned and its abnormal pose
could be detected in time.
