MOBILE ROBOT AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17785544 Titled 'MOBILE ROBOT AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a mobile robot system and control method where multiple robots work together to clean an area. The robots confirm each other's positions and move in coordination to avoid collisions and efficiently clean the area. By using different position detection methods, the robots can easily calculate each other's positions and improve cleaning efficiency.


Original Abstract Submitted

In a mobile robot and a control method therefor according to the present disclosure, a plurality of mobile robots located in an area confirm the positions of other mobile robots and operate in cooperation with each other to cooperatively clean then area. One mobile robot moves to follow the position of another mobile robot, so that the mobile robots with different cleaning types cooperate to clean the area. Accordingly, the plurality of mobile robots can cooperatively perform cleaning without colliding within one area, and by combining or changing a plurality of position detection methods as needed, the position of another mobile robot can be easily calculated and the cleaning efficiency is greatly improved.
