Abstract: A method, system, and wheeled base for navigating a robot for docking with a charger docking station (500). The robot (18) receives an initial pose (604) associated with a robot charger docking station (500) and a mating pose (602) associated with the robot charger docking station (500). The robot (18) first navigates from a location to an initial pose (604) using scan matching to a first map. The robot performs a second navigation (742) from the initial pose (604) to the mating pose (602) using scan matching to a second map, thereby causing an electrical charging port of the robot to mate with an electrical charging assembly of the robot charger docking station (500). Localization during charger docking may use a higher resolution map than when navigating to the docking station. Localizing against the robot charger docking station may be performed on a higher resolution map of the docking station alone.

Abstract: A method and a robot for navigating and docking with a charger docking station. The method comprising: receiving an initial pose associated with a robot charger docking station; receiving a mating pose associated with the robot charger docking station; performing a first navigation of a robot from a location to the initial pose using scan matching to a first SLAM map; performing a second navigation of the robot from the initial pose to the mating pose using scan matching to a second SLAM map having a higher resolution than a resolution of the first SLAM map, thereby causing the electrical charging port of the robot to mate with an electrical charging assembly of the robot charger docking station upon arriving at the mating pose.

Abstract: Un método para navegar un robot (18) para acoplarse con una estación de acoplamiento de un cargador (500) de robot, que comprende: recibir una posición inicial (604) asociada con una estación de acoplamiento del cargador (500) del robot; recibir una posición (602) de unión asociada con la estación de acoplamiento del cargador (500) del robot; estando el método caracterizado por las siguientes etapas: realizar una primera navegación de un robot (18) desde una ubicación hasta la posición inicial (604) mediante el uso de coincidencia de exploración en un primer mapa SLAM; realizar una segunda navegación (742) del robot (18) desde la posición inicial (604) hasta la posición (602) de unión mediante el uso de la coincidencia de exploración con un segundo mapa SLAM que tiene una resolución mayor que una resolución del primer mapa SLAM; haciendo, de esta manera, que el puerto (26) de carga eléctrica del robot (18) se una con una unidad (200) de carga eléctrica de la estación de acoplamiento del cargador (500) de robot al llegar a la posición (602) de acoplamiento.
