Embodiment Construction

[0043] Embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout. Hereinafter, the embodiments are described to explain the present invention by referring to the figures.

[0044] figure 1 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of the mobile robot system according to the embodiment. The mobile robot system includes: a mobile robot 10 for performing a cleaning operation while autonomously traveling in a predetermined area, and for transmitting infrared (IR) signals in packet units; and a beacon machine 20 separate from the mobile robot 10 for A signal transmitted from the mobile robot 10 is received.

[0045] The beacon machine 20 is movably installed on the boundary of the travel area (such as the corner between the bedroom and the kitchen, the door between rooms, etc.), so as to limit the travel area of ​​the mobile robot 10 . The beacon machine 20 dete...

Abstract

The invention provides a mobile robot system and a control method thereof.Only when a remote controller reception module of a beacon senses a signal transmitted from a mobile robot, the sensed result is reported to the mobile robot in the form of a response signal.In addition, the Field-of-View (FOV) of the remote control reception module is restricted by a directivity receiver.Only when the signal transmitted from the mobile robot is sensed within the restricted FOV, the sensed result is reported to the mobile robot.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments relate to a mobile robotic system for defining a travel area of ​​a robot and for guiding the robot to another area, and a method of controlling the mobile robotic system. Background technique [0002] In general, a mobile robot is a device for performing operations without user control while autonomously traveling in a traveling area. Robotic cleaners act as mobile robots that perform cleaning operations by sucking foreign impurities such as dust from the floor while autonomously traveling in a predetermined cleaning area such as a home or office. [0003] In order to allow the mobile robot to perform the operation, it is necessary to prevent the mobile robot from detaching from the traveling area. A virtual wall unit (hereinafter referred to as "beacon" (beacon)) is provided to limit the traveling side area of ​​the mobile robot, wherein the virtual The wall unit is used to prevent the mobile robot from entering the boundary of the trave...
