Abstract:
An autonomous mobile robot includes a drive system to maneuver the autonomous mobile robot about an environment, a first magnetic field antenna system responsive to a magnetic field pulse to generate a first signal, and a second magnetic field antenna system responsive to the magnetic field pulse to generate a second signal. The magnetic field pulse is emitted by a magnetic field emitter system in the environment. The autonomous mobile robot further includes a controller to execute instructions to perform operations including reorienting the autonomous mobile robot based on the first signal and the second signal.
