    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 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 horning 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.

    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: A method of scheduling a robotic device enables the device to run autonomously based on previously loaded scheduling information. The method consists of a communication device, such as a hand-held remote device, that can directly control the robotic device, or load scheduling information into the robotic device such that it will carry out a defined task at the desired time without the need for further external control. The communication device can also be configured to load a scheduling application program into an existing robotic device, such that the robotic device can receive and implement scheduling information from a user.
