Title:
SYSTEM OF MOBILE ROBOTS WITH A BASE STATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/035839
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a system of mobile robots with a base station, wherein each robot comprises at least one computer by means of which at least drives of the robot can be controlled, wherein each robot comprises a communication means connected to the respective computer, by means of which a communication link can be established to other robots and/or to the base station. The invention is characterized in that each robot has a position determination means which determines information about the position of the robot at least also on the basis of the distance determination to reference emitters, wherein the base station and robots are designed so as to be suitable as or act as reference emitters.
