    Abstract: A method for communication between a charging station and a robot, via a pair of power lines coupled between a power supply in the charging station and a battery in the robot. In operation, the power supply is sequentially switched between a first voltage level and a second voltage level in accordance with a predetermined signal pattern. The voltage level on the power lines in the robot is monitored and correlated with a specific command to be executed by the robot.

    Abstract: A domestic robotic system, for example for mowing the lawn, including a robot, which includes: a movement system having wheels or the like for moving the robot over a surface; an image obtaining device, such as a camera, for obtaining images of the exterior environment of the robot; and at least one processor in electronic communication with the movement system and the image obtaining device. The at least one processor is programmed to: detect a predetermined pattern within at least one of the images, with this predetermined pattern being associated with a marker provided on a base station; respond to the detection of the predetermined pattern by determining, by a first process, an estimate of the robot's position and/or orientation, this estimate of the robot's position and orientation being relative to the base station, the at least one processor and the image obtaining device thereby forming part of a first positioning system for the robot; determine, by a second process, an alternative estimate of the robot's position and/or orientation, the at least one processor thereby forming part of a second positioning system for the robot; and perform at least one calibration of the second positioning system using the first positioning system.

    Abstract: A domestic robotic system including a robot having a payload for carrying out a domestic task within a working area. The robot also includes a plurality of sensors, including one or more local environment sensors that are configured to receive signals from exterior sources local to the robot. The system further includes data storage, which is operable to store boundary information that defines the path of a predetermined boundary within which the robot is permitted to move. The robot is programmed to operate in at a reference trail recording mode and a navigation mode. In the reference trail recording mode, the robot moves along a reference trail while receiving sensor information from its sensors, with the path of the reference trail being calculated by the system based on the stored boundary information so as to be spaced apart from the path of the predetermined boundary. Also in the reference trail recording mode, the system stores reference trail information corresponding to a first plurality of points along the reference trail. This reference trail information is derived from the sensor information corresponding to the first plurality of points. In the navigation mode, the robot moves within the working area and navigates by: receiving current sensor information from its sensors; and, when it is in the vicinity of the reference trail, comparing the current sensor information with the reference trail information in order to determine its current position.

    Abstract: A robot designed for scanning within a work area, wherein the robot travels inside the work area in successive paths. The robot operates to scan the work area using a first scanning mode and monitors the length of each of the paths traveled by the robot. The robot than switches from the first scanning mode to a second scanning mode when an obstacle is encountered on a minimum number of consecutive said paths each having a length between a first threshold distance and a longer, second threshold distance. The robot switches back to the first scanning mode when the length of one of the paths has increased to more than the second threshold distance.
