second embodiment
[0031]FIG. 2 shows the system according to the invention, whereby at the interrupt position 5 a physical property, like for example the temperature or colour 6 of the environment is being changed. At the interrupt position the robot 3 searches the base station 2 based on signals emitted by the base station 2. The robot 3 is then moved up along a path P2 to the base station 2. At the base station 2 an energy storage can be recharged, the dust container can be emptied, a water container can be refilled, et cetera. This procedure is indicated by P3. After the procedure P3 at the base station 2 has been completed, the robot 3 is returned to the interrupt position 5 along path P4, whereby the modified property 6 is sensed by the robot 3 so that the robot 3 is able to refine the interrupt location 5. At the interrupt location 5 the robot 3 is controlled to move further along path P5 extending in the same direction as the path P1. The path P1 is the path along which the robot 3 was moving ...
third embodiment
[0032]FIG. 3 shows the system according to the invention whereby the robot 3 is first being moved along path P1 until the movement is being interrupted. At the interrupt position 5 a beacon 7 is placed by the robot 3. The beacon 7 is an object which can easily be placed and recognized by the robot 3, like for example a pin, a ball, et cetera. Preferably the beacon 7 has a certain orientation which enables the robot 3 to remember the direction of movement before the interruption.
[0033]After the beacon 7 has been placed by the robot 3, the robot 3 senses a signal emitted by the base station 2 and is being moved along path P2 to the base station 2. As with the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 several procedures P3 can take place in the base station 2. After completing of the procedures P3, the robot 3 senses the beacon 7 and is moved back to the beacon 7 along path P4. The beacon is then picked up by the robot and the robot continues its movement along path P5 extending in the same direction...
fourth embodiment
[0034]FIG. 4 shows the system according to the invention which system is similar to the system as shown in FIG. 3. By the system according to FIG. 4 several beacons 7 are being placed at the interrupt position 5 and along the path P2 to the base station 2. On its way back from the base station 2 to the interrupt position 5 the robot 3 picks up all the beacons 7.
