    Abstract: A robotic system comprising a mobile robot including a body housing a rechargeable power source and first electrical contact means disposed on the body and a docking station including second electrical contact means, wherein the mobile robot is dockable on the docking station in order to charge the rechargeable power source. The first electrical contact means includes at least one electrical contact aligned on a first contact axis and the second electrical contact means includes at least one elongate contact, wherein when the robot is docked on the docking station such that electrical contact is established between the first electrical contact means and the electrical contact means. The at least one elongate contact extends in a direction that is transverse to the first contact axis which permits electrical contact to be established between the robot and the docking station while accommodating a degree of lateral and angular misalignment therebetween.

    Abstract: A water dispenser is provided which is, if water leakage should occur, capable of detecting such water leakage at an early stage. The water dispenser includes a dispenser tray disposed between the housing and the floor surface and vertically separating the housing from the floor surface. The dispenser tray includes a dispenser support surface on which the housing is supported, a peripheral wall surrounding the dispenser support surface, and a water leakage indicator disposed in a region surrounded by the peripheral wall, and configured to change between a water leakage alarm state and a non-water-leakage-alarm state depending on whether or not there is water.

    Abstract: A robot cleaner includes a main brush to sweep or scatter dust off a floor, a main brush motor to rotate the main brush, a Revolution Per Minute (RPM) detector to detect an RPM of the main brush motor, and a control unit to determine a type of floor according to the RPM of the main brush motor acquired by the RPM detector and control an operation of the robot cleaner based on the determined type of floor. A carpet mode to clean only a carpet area and a hard floor mode to clean a hard floor area excluding the carpet area are given based on detected information relating to the material of a floor, which enables partial cleaning with respect to a cleaning area selected by a user and adjustment in the number of cleaning operations or the intensity of cleaning according to the material of the floor.
