    Abstract: A battery charger having a charging side at the body thereof for receiving and charging a mobile robotic vacuum cleaner is disclosed. The charging side has a groove, a sound wave transmitter mounted in the groove and a baffle mounted in the groove in front side of the sound wave transmitter for reflecting the sound wave transmitted by the ultrasonic transmitter toward two opposite lateral sides of the charging side along the groove to form two opposing sound wave beams to form two opposing sound wave beams for receiving by a sound wave receiver of the mobile robotic vacuum cleaner for determination of the steering direction. Subject to the guide of the sound wave beams, the mobile robotic vacuum cleaner is accurately guided to the battery charger and will not pass over or impact the battery charger.

    Abstract: The present invention refers to a robot, a docking system and a docking method therefor. The docking system comprises a first circuit located in a robot. The first circuit comprises a power storage unit for supplying power to the robot and a first main control unit for controlling the movement of the robot. The docking system further comprises a first group of terminals electrically connected with the first circuit, and a second circuit located in a docking station. The second circuit comprises a power supplying unit. The docking system further comprises a second group of terminals electrically connected with the second circuit. The power storage unit or the power supplying unit provides a detection power. The detection power generates a detection current when it flows across a detection circuit. The detection circuit is constructed by the first circuit and the second circuit through the first group of terminals docking with the second group of terminals. The detection circuit further comprises a current detection unit, and the first main control unit confirms that the first group of terminals dock with the second group of terminals when the detection current is detected by the current detection unit. The robot according to this invention can reliably dock to the docking station without human intervention, which brings extreme convenience to production and life.
