Methods and systems for pairing mobile robotic device docking stations with a wireless router and cloud service

A method for adding a robotic device to a first Wi-Fi network using a communication device, comprising:

• generating an instruction to add the robotic device to the first Wi-Fi network using an application of the communication device connected to a first Wi-Fi network, the application comprising a graphical user interface;
• extracting Wi-Fi access point's SSID and Wi-Fi password for the first Wi-Fi network by the application of the communication device;
• instructing the robotic device to enter into pairing mode, wherein entering into pairing mode enables a Wi-Fi network card of the robotic device to establish a wireless connection with the communication device;
• disconnecting the communication device from the first Wi-Fi network and connecting the communication device to a second Wi-Fi network of the robotic device using the application of the communication device;
• transferring the Wi-Fi access point's SSID and the Wi-Fi password for the first Wi-Fi network to the robotic device using the application of the communication device, wherein the robotic device uses the Wi-Fi access point's SSID and Wi-Fi password to connect to the first Wi-Fi network;
• and
• connecting the communication device to the first Wi-Fi network, wherein:
• extracting the Wi-Fi access point's SSID and Wi-Fi password for the first Wi-Fi network comprises the application of the communication device receiving instructions from a QR barcode scanned using an imaging device of the robotic device and parsed by an image recognition software of the robotic device;
• and
• the QR barcode further provides instructions to the application of the communication device to disconnect the communication device from the first Wi-Fi network and connect the communication device to a second Wi-Fi network of the robotic device, transfer the Wi-Fi access point's SSID and Wi-Fi password for the first Wi-Fi network to the robotic device, and connect the communication device back to the first Wi-Fi network after the transfer of information is complete.
