Problems solved by technology

However, since this method can only confirm the general direction of the charging stand, but cannot confirm the exact position of the charging stand, the robot vacuum cleaner will continue to detect two infrared signals during the movement process, and approach the charging stand by frequently changing the driving direction from left to right , there is an issue of not being able to move quickly to the charging stand, and pushing the charging stand during the docking process

Embodiment Construction

[0030] The advantages, features and methods for implementing the embodiments of the present invention will be clarified through the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed herein, but can be implemented in different modes. These embodiments are provided only to fully disclose the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals denote the same elements.

[0031] figure 1 Shows the concept of acquiring positional information of obstacles using patterned light. Such as figure 1 As shown in , the mobile robot irradiates its own active area with patterned light (optical pattern), and acquires an input image (b) by photographing the area irradiated with the above-mentioned patterned light. The three-dimensional position information (c) of the obstacle 1 can be acquired based on the form, position, etc. of the pattern e...

Abstract

A charging apparatus is configured to charge a mobile robot. The mobile robot is configured to emit an optical pattern. The charging apparatus includes a main body configured to perform charging of the mobile robot as the mobile robot docks with the charging apparatus, and two or more position markers located at the main body and spaced apart from each other. The position markers are configured to create indications distinguishable from a surrounding region when the optical pattern is emitted to surfaces of the position markers.

Description

[0001] This application claims the priority of Korean Patent No. 10-2013-0131623 filed on October 31, 2013, and the main content of this patent is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0002] The invention relates to a self-charging mobile robot, a charging base for charging the mobile robot and a mobile robot system comprising the mobile robot and the charging base. Background technique [0003] In general, robots are developed for use in industry, functioning as part of factory automation. Recently, the application fields of robots have been further expanded, and medical robots, aerospace robots, etc. have been developed, and household robots used in general households have also been manufactured. [0004] A representative example of a household robot is a robot vacuum cleaner, which is a type of household electrical appliance, which travels by itself in an area to be cleaned, and sucks in dust or impurities for cleaning. Generally speaking, a robot vacuum c...
