Abstract
A robotic pool cleaner includes a housing, a propulsion mechanism configured to propel the robotic pool cleaner along an interior surface of a pool, and a suction mechanism for drawing liquid from the pool into the housing. A transceiver is configured to receive a signal that is indicative of a relative location of another robotic pool cleaner. A controller is configured to control the propulsion mechanism in accordance with the indicated location of the other robotic pool cleaner
Claims8
A robotic pool cleaner comprising:
- a housing;
- a propulsion mechanism configured to propel the robotic pool cleaner along an interior surface of a pool;
- a suction mechanism for drawing liquid from the pool into the housing;
- an antenna configured to receive a signal when raised to a waterline of the pool;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- control the propulsion mechanism to move the robotic pool cleaner to the waterline such that the antenna is at the waterline;
- receive via the antenna a signal that is indicative of a position of the robotic pool cleaner;
- control the propulsion mechanism to cause the robotic pool cleaner to remain at the waterline until reception of the signal is complete;
- and
- control the propulsion mechanism to cause the robotic pool cleaner to re-submerge.
