Abstract: A robot is confined to a bounded area by placement of a retroreflective marker, defining a boundary, and a detector on the robot. The detector sends a signal, that if reflected off of the marker, toward the robot, and detected by a receiver, will signal the control system of the robot, such that the robot changes its travel path and remains confined within the bounded area.
