Abstract: An autonomous mobile robot system for adjacent bounded areas (204;206) including a navigation beacon (150,202,203,304) and an autonomous coverage robot (100,212,302). The navigation beacon has a gateway beacon emitter (152) arranged to transmit a gateway marking emission (208,316) with the navigation beacon disposed within a gateway (210) between the first bounded area (204) and an adjacent second bounded area (206). The autonomous coverage robot includes a beacon emission sensor (104,106) responsive to the beacon emission, and a drive system (130,132) configured to maneuver the robot about the first bounded area (204) in a cleaning mode in which the robot is redirected in response to detecting the gateway marking emission (208,316). The drive system is also configured to maneuver the robot through the gateway (210) into the second bounded area (206) in a migration mode.
