Abstract:
The present disclosure relate to a cleaning robot docking to a station based on a radio frequency (RF) signal and a method of controlling the same. The cleaning robot comprises an antenna unit configured to receive a radio frequency (RF) signal transmitted from a station and a controller configured to extract a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value by processing the RF signal received by the antenna unit and control movement of the cleaning robot to dock to the station based on the extracted RSSI value.
Abstract:
A robot cleaner (1) includes a body (10) to travel on a floor, an obstacle sensing unit (220, 61, 62) to sense an obstacle approaching the body, an auxiliary cleaning unit (21, 22) mounted to a bottom of the body (10), to be extendable and retractable, and a control unit (240) to control extension or retraction of the auxiliary cleaning unit when the obstacle is sensed, through adjustment of an extension or retraction degree of the auxiliary cleaning unit (21, 22).
Abstract:
A docking station which can releasably engage and hold a robotic pool cleaner, the docking station optionally including a pre-filter for coarse debris, the pool cleaner including an internal filter and a pump to suction in, filter and eject filtered water while the pool cleaner is coupled to the docking station. The pool cleaner's pump creates water jets to provide propulsion for the pool cleaner and to aid in decoupling the pool cleaner from the docking station.
Abstract:
A robotic work tool system (200), comprising a charging station (210), a boundary wire (250) and a signal generator (240) for generating and transmitting a signal through said boundary wire (250) for demarcating a work area (205), said robotic work tool system (200) further comprising a robotic work tool (100) configured to detect a magnetic field strength (M1, M2) in the work area (205) and said robotic work tool system (200) being configured to adapt a current level of the signal being transmitted through the boundary wire (250) based on the detected magnetic field strength (M1, M2).
Abstract:
A robot cleaner (100) and a charging base (2) thereof are provided. The robot cleaner (100) includes a robot body (1) and the charging base (2). The robot body (1) is provided with a first charging terminal. The charging base (2) is provided with a second charging terminal (21) matched with the first charging terminal. The charging base (2) is fixed above ground (200), and the charging base (2) defines an accommodating portion (24). The first charging terminal contacts the second charging terminal (21) to form an electrical connection after the robot body (1) is placed in the accommodating portion (24).
Abstract:
A docking station for a mobile robot comprising a base portion that is locatable on a floor surface and a rear portion that is pivotable with respect to the base portion, thereby permitting a user to place the docking station on the floor in an unfolded configuration but to store the docking station in a folded configuration.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a cleaning system comprising a self-propelling and self-steering floor-cleaning appliance (12) and a charging station (14, 102), wherein the floor-cleaning appliance (12) comprises at least one rechargeable electric battery (34) and two appliance-mounted electrical contact elements (54) coupled to said battery, wherein the charging station (14, 102) comprises a charging unit (74) for supplying electrical energy and also two station-side electrical contact elements (62) coupled to said charging unit, and wherein in each case one appliance-mounted contact element (54) and one station-mounted contact element (62) interact, in a charging position of the floor-cleaning appliance (12) at the charging station (14, 102), for charging the at least one battery (34) with electrical energy. In order to create such a cleaning system which has a relatively high level of electrical safety, the invention proposes that the appliance-mounted contact elements (54) and the station-mounted contact elements (62) comprise first contact elements (54) and second contact elements (62), that the first contact elements (54) are arranged in at least one aperture (60) formed on a housing (16) of the floor-cleaning appliance (12) or of the charging station, comprising the first contact elements (54), wherein the first contact elements (54) are set back, in the at least one aperture (60), in relation to an outer contour formed by the housing (16), and that the charging station (14, 102) or floor-cleaning appliance, comprising the second contact elements (62), comprises at least one electrically insulating contact-element carrier (76), on which the second contact elements (62) are secured and which has the second contact elements (62) set back in relation to its end side (86), which, in the charging position of the floor-cleaning appliance (12), engages in the at least one aperture (60).
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Bodenbearbeitungsroboter mit einem selbsttätig verfahrbaren Bodenbearbeitungsgerät (4) und mit einem Gehäuse (6), der dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass das Gehäuse (6) des Bodenbearbeitungsgerätes (4) auf der Oberseite eine Standfläche (8) für ein Tragen einer Person aufweist, dass mindestens eine Wägezelle (16; 24) vorgesehen ist und dass die Wägezelle (16; 24) für ein Wiegen des Gewichts der Person geeignet ist.
