Abstract
A robot for moving in an administrator mode, can include a positioning sensor configured to sense a transmitter for calculating a position of the transmitter; an obstacle sensor configured to sense an obstacle around the robot; a driver configured to move the robot; and a controller configured to in response to receiving a signal from the transmitter, align the robot toward the position of a transmitter, move the robot toward the transmitter while avoiding one or more obstacles sensed by the obstacle sensor, and in response to no longer receiving the signal from the transmitter or a distance between the transmitter and the robot being equal to or less than a preset distance, stop the robot.
Claims20
A robot for moving in an administrator mode, the robot comprising:
- a positioning sensor configured to sense a transmitter and calculate a position of the transmitter;
- an obstacle sensor configured to sense an obstacle around the robot;
- a driver configured to move the robot;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- in response to receiving a signal from the transmitter, align the robot toward the position of the transmitter,
- move the robot toward the transmitter while avoiding one or more obstacles sensed by the obstacle sensor, and
- in response to no longer receiving the signal from the transmitter or a distance between the transmitter and the robot being equal to or less than a preset distance, stop the robot.
A method for moving a robot in an administrator mode, the method comprising:
- sensing a transmitter and calculating a position of the transmitter by a positioning sensor of the robot;
- aligning, by a controller of the robot, the robot toward the transmitter based on a signal received from the transmitter;
- sensing, by an obstacle sensor of the robot, an obstacle around the robot;
- moving, by the controller, the robot toward the transmitter while avoiding the obstacle sensed by the obstacle sensor;
- and
- in response to no longer receiving the signal from the transmitter or a distance between the transmitter and the robot being equal to or less than a preset distance, stopping the robot.
