Title:
MOBILE ROBOT AND METHOD OF OPERATING THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/074690
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method of operating a mobile robot (100) that includes driving the robot according to a drive direction, determining a driven path (1012) of the robot from an origin (1013), and displaying a drive view (1010) on a remote operator control unit (400) in communication with the robot. The drive view shows the driven path of the robot from the origin. The method further includes obtaining global positioning coordinates of a current location of the robot and displaying a map (1014) in the drive view using the global positioning coordinates. The driven path of the robot is displayed on the map.
