3 Theory of Operation
The robot works in a random pattern. A peripheral wire buried in the ground defines the border of the working area.
The charging station energizes the peripheral wire which generates a magnetic field within the working area.
When the robot senses the magnetic field above the location of the peripheral wire, it stops, turns back into the
working area, and continues working.
The robot has obstacle detection sensors. When it detects an obstacle, it will slow down, make contact with it, then
perform a maneuver to avoid it.
The robot will automatically return to the charging station to charge it’s battery.
Robot Charging Procedure:
•
the robot stops
•
moves to the peripheral wire
•
follows the track border to the station loop wire
•
follows the station loop wire to the charging station
•
docks at the charging station
