Abstract: A method for controlling an autonomous mobile robot. According to one exemplary embodiment, the method comprises the storage and management of at least one map associated with an area of use for the robot and the navigation of the robot through the area of use for the robot, wherein the robot continuously determines its position on the map. The method further comprises the detection of a repositioning procedure, during which the robot carries out a movement that the robot itself cannot control. During this repositioning procedure, the robot detects information about its position and/or its state of motion with the aid of sensors and, based on the detected information, determines an estimated value for its position.

Abstract: Methods for an autonomous mobile robot are described. According to an exemplary embodiment, one method comprises the detection of information regarding the structure of the environment around the robot in the robot deployment area by means of a first sensor unit of the robot and the creation of a map based on the detected information. The method also comprises the measurement of a direction and/or a quantity of at least one physical vector field variable for one or more poses of the robot by means of a second sensor unit and the determination, based on the measurement(s) carried out for one or more poses of the robot, of a preferred direction of the at least one physical vector field variable for the robot deployment area (or a portion thereof). Furthermore, corresponding robots and robot systems are described.
