METHODE POUR CONSTITUER DES DONNÉES DE NAVIGATION POUR UN ROBOT DOMESTIQUE

摘要

There is herein described a method for preparing navigation information for a robot having a payload for carrying out a domestic task within a working area comprising receiving sensor information relating to said working area, including one or more arrays of sensor data, each array corresponding to sensor readings at different locations and/or orientations with respect to said working area by one or more similar arrays of like sensors, receiving user-provided information designating a reference trail within said working area, processing said sensor information relating to said working area, including said plurality of arrays of sensor data; and said information from the user designating the reference trail, said processing step producing navigation information for said robot that sufficiently defines said reference trail such that the robot can move along said reference trail substantially autonomously.
