Abstract

An autonomous charging device and autonomous charging method of a mobile robot relates to the technical field of a robot, and is to solve the technical problems of reducing cost, and improving universality and reliability. The device comprises a charging base and a partner base fixedly arranged on the mobile robot. The charging base is provided with a left infrared emitter and a right infrared emitter, and the two infrared emitters emit different infrared butting signals, so that three signal regions are formed in front of the charging base. The partner base is provided with left and right two groups of infrared receivers. The robot judges the located signal region through the two groups of infrared receivers, and finds the specific position of the charging base through the signal intensity between the received infrared butting signals emitted by the two infrared emitters, thereby realizing automatic butting of the charging base. The device and method provided in the invention are especially suitable for the indoor mobile robot to use; and the device and method utilize a plug-in type module design, and thus the device and method can be suitable for different cell types and physical sizes of the robot.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to robot technology, in particular to a technology of an autonomous charging device and an autonomous charging method for a mobile robot. Background technique [0002] Many service mobile robots are tasked with performing tasks such as cleaning, garbage collection, package delivery, cooking, beverage delivery, surveillance, and more in home and office environments. These mobile robots can free humans from heavy labor. These mobile robots are usually equipped with an autonomous charging device. The robot can automatically recharge the battery in the body through the autonomous charging device, so that it can operate fully automatically without manual intervention. . [0003] The autonomous charging device of the mobile robot is mainly composed of a charging station and a receiver installed on the robot. The charging station is fixed on the ground (wall, ground). The charging station continuously transmits docking signals, and the ...
