COORDINATE CORRECTION METHOD OF ROBOTIC CLEANER AND ROBOTIC CLEANER SYSTEM USING IT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of correcting the coordinates of a robotic cleaner with reference to the absolute coordinates of a charging station in order to improve the pathway follow-up performance of the robotic cleaner traveling using an angle sensor.

SOLUTION: This coordinate correction method of a robotic cleaner includes: a step of making the robotic cleaner be on standby at the charging station; a step of moving the robotic cleaner to a work area to perform a predetermined work; a step of suspending the work when the accumulated angle reaches a preset value or more during the work of the robotic cleaner, and returning the robotic cleaner to the charging station; a step of making the coordinates of the robotic cleaner coincide with the reference coordinates of the charging station; and a step of making the robotic cleaner move to the work position before returning to the charging station to continue to work.
