SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING POSITION FOR MOBILE ROBOT AND SYSTEM FOR ROBOT RETURNING TO CHARGE STAND, METHOD FOR USING SUCH SYSTEMS

摘要

FIELD: mobile robots, systems for determining position for mobile robot.;SUBSTANCE: mobile robot may accurately determine position of wireless signal source at using wireless signal and it provides possibility for its rapid returning to charge stand without error. System for determining position for mobile robot includes wireless signal source designed for wireless signal irradiation in continuous or cyclic mode; mobile robot including large number of directed antennae used for detecting said wireless signal irradiated by its source. Robot determines direction to wireless signal source with use of rotation angle that is determined by means of directed antennae. Then distance is calculated between robot and said source of wireless signal at using time difference of detecting wireless signal by means of directed antennae.;EFFECT: enhanced reliability and efficiency of returning robot to charge stand.;12 cl, 6 dwg
