Problems solved by technology

In this way, the capability of the driving motor for the cleaning robot must also become larger, but for a larger system, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost of the cleaning robot will be greatly increased
[0005] In addition to this, there is such a problem with such a larger multipurpose mobile robot that since the user purchases a multipurpose cleaning robot to perform various functions, if the user only needs one or some of the functions, will impose a huge cost burden on users

Abstract

Disclosed is a mobile robot system having a plurality of exchangeable work modules (10), thereby providing a mobile robot capable of performing various functions at a low cost. The mobile robot system comprises a plurality of work modules, which perform different works, respectively; a module station (20) for connecting the plurality of work modules; and a mobile robot (40), which selects and connects to one of the plurality of work modules from the module station according to a work task to be performed. The mobile robot autonomously operates to perform the work task.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a mobile robot, in particular to a mobile robot system with multiple exchangeable working modules and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] In general, a mobile robot refers to a robot that operates autonomously to perform a given work task, such as cleaning. Recently, among such mobile robots, a cleaning robot capable of performing a vacuum cleaning operation has formed a new market, and the size of the market is expanding. In order to increase the market share, various cleaning robots capable of performing various functions beyond basic vacuum cleaning operations are put on the market. Currently, cleaning robots are capable of scrubbing, steam cleaning, air purification, humidification, and more. [0003] However, for those users who want a multifunctional cleaning robot, currently available mobile cleaning robots are problematic because they can only perform one or two functions. [0004] If the above-me...
