The base station (100) of the cleaning device (200) includes: a base station body (10) having an accommodating chamber (101) for accommodating the cleaning device (200) and an opening (102) for the cleaning device (200) to enter or exit the accommodating chamber (101); and a water injection assembly including a movable base (13), and a movable plate (12), a lifting mechanism, and a water injection pipe (11) that are disposed on the movable base (13). The water injection pipe (11) is configured to inject water into the cleaning device (200). The lifting mechanism is configured to drive the water injection pipe (11) to move. A first elastic member (16) is disposed between the movable plate (12) and a side wall of the accommodating chamber (101). The cleaning device (200) is contacted with the movable plate (12) during a water injection process of the water injection assembly. On the one hand, a tight contact between the movable plate (12) and the cleaning device (200) is realized during a water injection process, and on the other hand, the water injection pipe (11) and a water injection port of the cleaning device (200) are self-adapted to be aligned, which improves an alignment accuracy between the water injection pipe (11) and the cleaning device (200).

Abstract: Provided are a robot control method and apparatus, and a storage medium. The robot control method includes: (201) detecting whether a first scenical image captured by a camera of a robot includes a foot; (202) obtaining, in response to detecting the foot in multiple consecutive frames of first scenical images, multiple frames of second scenical images captured by the camera; and (203) recognizing a foot posture based on the multiple frames of second scenical images, and controlling the robot based on a control manner corresponding to the recognized foot posture. In a scenical image captured by the camera mounted at the robot, when the foot is captured within a field of view, the foot posture is recognized using a video captured by the camera. Intelligent control of the robot is realized based on the recognized foot posture. Compared with a conventional method based on an application on a mobile phone or pressing buttons on a machine body of the robot, the provided method is more convenient, efficient, and intelligent, which can greatly improve user experience. In addition, since the intelligent control can be realized using an existing camera of the robot, intelligent control of a product can be realized without additional costs, which further improves the user experience.
