    Abstract: An automatic identity recognition method used for a robot and a plurality of beacon devices is disclosed. The robot has a tag device. After the robot is started, the tag device enters into a discovery mode and broadcasts a blinking message externally. Each of the plurality of beacon devices respectively replies an initial message including its own anchor ID to the tag device if receiving the blinking message. After receiving the initial message, the tag device records the anchor ID of the initial message into a configuration list, and replies a control command to the beacon device who replies the initial message, so as to control the beacon device not to reply the initial message continually.

    Abstract: An autonomous modular robot includes an attachment retention system that for retaining two or more interchangeable attachments for performing unique tasks, e.g., steam cleaning, vacuuming, grass cutting, etc. The attachments may be sequentially positioned in the path of travel of the robot and configured to perform complementary tasks. For example, for cleaning a floor, a first attachment may be configured to vacuum the floor and a second attachment may be configured for steam cleaning the floor. The robot may also include a vertically translatable lift mechanism. The lift mechanism may include the attachment retention system, thereby allowing the attachments to be moved vertically. The lift mechanism may also include a dimension sensor proximate a top of the lift mechanism. The dimension sensor may be utilized to determine the size, e.g., a height and/or a width of the robot with any retained attachments, to help navigate the robot and avoid obstacles.
