MOBILE ROBOT SYSTEM HAVING LIQUID SUPPLY STATION AND LIQUID SUPPLY METHOD

摘要

A mobile robot system having a liquid supply station and a liquid supply method are provided to improve user convenience by permitting the liquid supply station to automatically supply liquid when liquid is consumed. A mobile robot system(1) comprises a mobile robot(30); a liquid reservoir(37) arranged in the mobile robot so that the liquid tank stores liquid to be used by the mobile robot; and a liquid supply station(10) for supplying liquid to the liquid tank when the supply signal wirelessly transmitted from the mobile robot is received. The liquid supply station includes a liquid storage tank(11); a pump(12) communicated to the liquid storage tank so that the pump supplies liquid stored in the liquid storage tank; a supply nozzle unit(13) communicated to the pump so that the supply nozzle unit serves as a passage of the liquid supplied to the liquid tank; and a station controller for supplying the liquid by controlling the pump and the supply nozzle unit in accordance with the supply signal output from the mobile robot.
