ROBOT AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17869490 titled 'ROBOT AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a robot that can dock itself to a docking station using a communication module and a driving module. The robot receives a docking guidance signal from the docking station and determines the best time to transmit a docking guidance request signal to prevent overlap with other signals. Once the request signal is sent, the robot receives a docking guidance signal and uses the driving module to dock itself to the docking station.
- The robot has a driving module, communication module, and at least one processor.
- It receives a docking guidance signal from a docking station.
- It determines the best time to transmit a docking guidance request signal to avoid overlap with other signals.
- The robot sends the docking guidance request signal through the communication module.
- In response to the request signal, the robot receives a docking guidance signal.
- The robot uses the driving module to dock itself to the docking station.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Automated docking of robots to charging stations.
- Autonomous parking systems for vehicles.
- Guided docking of drones to charging pads.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensures that the docking guidance request signal does not overlap with other signals, preventing interference.
- Allows for efficient and accurate docking of the robot to the docking station.
- Reduces the need for manual intervention in the docking process.
Benefits of this technology:
- Saves time and effort by automating the docking process.
- Improves the reliability and accuracy of docking.
- Enables seamless integration of robots with docking stations.
- Reduces the risk of damage or errors during docking.
Original Abstract Submitted
A robot includes; a driving module, a communication module, and at least one processor configured to receive, a second docking guidance signal output from a second docking station; determine a first output time of the received second docking guidance signal, determine a second output time of a first docking guidance request signal to be transmitted based on the determined first output time to prevent the first docking guidance request signal from overlapping with the second docking guidance signal, and output the first docking guidance request signal, through the communication module, based on the determined second output time of the first docking guidance request signal, and in response to the outputting of the first docking guidance request signal, receive, a first docking guidance signal, docking the robot to the first docking station by driving the driving module in response to receiving the first docking guidance signal.
