Abstract: A system for providing communication of position information between moving bodies (105, 105) navigating in proximity of each other. Messages can be communicated via the same system. Orientation information is provided by transmitting infrared digital signals that are specific to individual zones around the moving body. By knowledge of the relation between the position of the zones and the specific signals an orientation can be deduced by a receiving body. Distance information is provided by transmitting infrared digital signals from a transmitter at respective power levels, at which power levels the signals comprise information for identifying the specific power level. By knowledge of the relation between the range of the zones and the specific signals, a distance from a receiving body to the transmitter can be deduced. Direction information is provided by knowledge of the position of reception zones and signals received.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for determining relative orientation between a self-propelled device and a mobile computing device by utilizing the asymmetric radiation pattern of communication link emissions by the self-propelled device. Upon establishing the communication link, the self-propelled device may perform a spin, thereby enabling the self-propelled device and/or the mobile computing device to detect radiated pulses due to the asymmetry in the link. A direction may be determined based on such pulses, which may be utilized for calibration purposes.

Abstract: There is provided a self-propelled electronic device for use on a base surface. The electronic device includes a chassis disposable over the base surface. The chassis includes a first surface facing the base surface when the chassis is disposed thereover. A light meter is configured to detect light incident toward the first surface and determine a luminance level thereof the detected light. A light source is configured to transition between an ON and OFF states dependent on the luminance level of the detected light. A line sensor is coupled to the chassis and is configured to sense a line segment on the base surface. A movement mechanism is coupled to the chassis and is placeable on the base surface. The movement mechanism is in operative communication with the line sensor to move on the base surface in a pattern corresponding to the line sensed on the base surface.
