<p>The robot (20) confinement system has a portable barrier signal transmitter (30), where the barrier signal is transmitted primarily along an axis defining the barrier. A mobile robot comprises a device for turning in at least one direction. A barrier signal detector is included, and a control unit controls the device for turning. The control unit runs an algorithm for avoiding the barrier signal upon detection of it. The algorithm comprises the step of turning the robot until the barrier signal is no longer detected. An independent claim is included for a method of confining a robot to a space.</p> |
