Title:
自律カバレッジロボットナビゲーションシステム
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6539699
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A method of navigating an autonomous coverage robot (100,212,302) between bounded areas. A navigation beacon (150,202,203,304) is positioned in a gateway (210) between adjoining first and second bounded areas (204;206). The beacon is configured to transmit a gateway marking emission (208) across the gateway. The coverage robot (100,212,302) is placed within the first bounded area and autonomously traverses the first bounded area (204) in a cleaning mode. Upon encountering the gateway marking emission in the gateway, the robot remains in the first bounded area (204), thereby avoiding migration into the second area (206). Upon termination of the cleaning mode in the first area (204), the robot autonomously initiates a migration mode to move through the gateway (210), past the beacon (150,202,203,304), into the second bounded area (206).
