    Abstract: An intelligent robot system comprising an intelligent robot (100) and a charging base (200). The intelligent robot (100) comprises a docking electrode (102), a walking mechanism (106) and a control unit (105). The docking electrode (102), the walking mechanism (106) and the control unit (105) are disposed in the body (101) of the intelligent robot (100). The charging base (200) comprises a charging electrode (201) disposed on the body (101) of the charging base (200). The intelligent robot (100) further comprises a gripping mechanism (107). When the docking electrode (102) and the charging electrode (201) dock successfully, the control unit (105) controls the e gripping mechanism (107) to lock the walking mechanism (106) to enable the intelligent robot (100) to maintain a successful docking state in the charging base (200), preventing the charging electrode (201) of the charging base (200) from being separated from the docking electrode (102) due to the improper movement of the walking mechanism (106). Any interference during of the intelligent robot (100) is thus prevented and charging efficiency is improved.

    Abstract: A movement operation system for autonomous moving cleaning apparatus comprises a charging dock and an autonomous moving cleaning apparatus. The charging dock includes a charging module and an infrared ray emitter. The autonomous moving cleaning apparatus includes a battery, at least one servomotor, an infrared ray receiver and a microcontroller unit. The infrared ray receiver receives an encrypted infrared signal emitted by the infrared ray emitter and sends the encrypted infrared signal to the microcontroller unit for decoding. The microcontroller unit detects whether the present voltage of the battery is higher than a charge voltage of the charging module, and generates a control signal to control the servomotor to move the autonomous moving cleaning apparatus away from the charging dock or to the charging dock for charging the battery.
