Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the number of times that an autonomous walking type mobile robot homes to a charging station for charging a battery.
SOLUTION: On the mobile robot 1, that has a battery and homes by autonomous walking to the charging station 30 if the state of the storage amount of the battery is equal to or lower than a given storage amount, a solar battery 9 is installed that charges the battery without homing to the charging station 30, if the state of the storage amount of the battery is in a state higher than the given storage amount. Moreover, the robot is provided with a means that seeks a place, where a higher power generation efficiency of the solar battery is attained for charging the battery with the solar battery 9.
