A PLURALITY OF ROBOT CLEANERS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17918210 titled 'A PLURALITY OF ROBOT CLEANERS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for controlling multiple robot cleaners. The method involves docking the robot cleaners with docking devices, checking if one of the robot cleaners is undocked, and undocking another robot cleaner if the first one is docked again.
- The method involves docking multiple robot cleaners with specific docking devices.
- It includes checking if one of the robot cleaners is undocked from its docking device.
- If the first robot cleaner is docked again, the method undocks the second robot cleaner from its docking device.
Potential Applications
- This method can be used in households or commercial spaces where multiple robot cleaners are employed.
- It can be applied in environments where continuous cleaning is required, such as hospitals or large office buildings.
Problems Solved
- The method solves the problem of efficiently managing multiple robot cleaners by automatically controlling their docking and undocking.
- It addresses the issue of potential collisions or interference between robot cleaners when they are docked simultaneously.
Benefits
- The method simplifies the control and management of multiple robot cleaners, reducing the need for manual intervention.
- It ensures that only one robot cleaner is docked at a time, preventing collisions and optimizing cleaning efficiency.
- The method improves the overall performance and effectiveness of robot cleaners in maintaining cleanliness in various environments.
Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed is a method of controlling a plurality of robot cleaners, the method including a first step of docking a first robot cleaner and a second robot cleaner with a first docking device and a second docking device, respectively, a second step of checking whether the first robot cleaner is undocked from the first docking device, and a third step of if the first robot cleaner docked with the first docking device again, undocking the second robot cleaner from the second docking device.
