Abstract: A piezoelectric debris sensor (125L, 125R) and associated signal processor (135) responsive to debris strikes enable an autonomous or non-autonomous cleaning device to detect the presence of debris and in response, to select a behavioral mode, operational condition or pattern of movement, such as spot coverage or the like. Multiple sensor channels (125, 125R) can be used to enable the detection or generation of differential left/right debris signals and thereby enable an autonomous device to steer in the direction of debris.

Abstract: An autonomous cleaning apparatus, comprising: a drive system operable to enable movement of the cleaning apparatus; a controller in communication with the drive system, the controller including a processor operable to control the drive system to provide at least one pattern of movement of the cleaning apparatus such as steering the cleaning apparatus toward an area containing debris; and a debris sensor for generating a debris signal indicating that the cleaning apparatus has encountered debris; wherein the processor is responsive to the debris signal to select a pattern of movement of the cleaning apparatus. 122 124122 106 120 !120 122 135 116 120 130 122 104 13 114R 14L 118 1128 130 W 145 - _ 112R 11 2L -------- -2 124...

Abstract: C:MPonbhDCCol) 734605. [.DOC-3M7/20 I Abstract A method of docking a robotic device with a base station includes the steps of detecting a low energy level in an on-board battery, orienting the robot in relation to a detected overlap between two infrared beams emitted by the station, detecting contact between the 5 charging terminals on the robot and on the base station, charging the on-board battery and resuming a robot's task, such as vacuuming. Also disclosed are systems for emitting avoidance signals to prevent inadvertent contact between the robot and the base station, and systems for emitting homing signals to allow the robot device to accurately dock with the base station.

Abstract: L:\NKI'oTDf\IutluAv'WMU)vl/ IJUU-IlU/|11/111 An autonomous robotic device responsive to signals from a base station, the robotic device comprising: electric contacts for contacting a charging terminal of a base station; and a microprocessor that, based on a measured robotic device energy level, instructs the robotic device to: avoid a short-range omni-directional base station signal to avoid contact with the base station when the measured energy level is above a predetermined energy level; seek the short-range omni-directional base station signal and a directional base station signal extending beyond the range of the omni-directional signal when the measured energy level is below the predetermined energy level, including following the omni-directional signal to encounter the directional signal; and follow the directional signal in order to dock with the base station for charging.
