    Abstract: An active three-dimensional positioning device and a control system for floor-cleaning robot are provided in the present invention. The active three dimension positioning device includes a radio frequency (RF) receiver array, a radio frequency emitter and a control circuit. The RF receiver array includes a plurality of RF receivers for receiving a RF pulse. The RF emitter is used for emitting a RF pulse. The control circuit is coupled to the RF receivers. The control circuit transmits a transmission command to the RF emitter, after the RF emitter receives the enable RF signal, and the RF emitter emits the RF pulse. The control circuit calculates the position between the RF receiver array and the RF emitter according to the positions of the RF receivers and the time when each of the RF receivers receives the RF pulse.

    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.

    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: Disclosed are a cleaning robot system and its method for controlling which make it possible to reliably and quickly clean with the aid of the cleaning robot. The cleaning robot system comprises at least one external device each formed of an indicator and a virtual wall setting function, with the aid of which cleaning work can be performed by the unit of blocks about a cleaning area reference point, not leaving non-cleaned area behind. Since the access of the cleaning robot can be restricted by means of a virtual wall set by an external device, any damages of furniture due to a collision of the cleaning robot can be prevented, and the cleaning robot can be barred from escaping from the set cleaning area.
