Mobile robot

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To guide the traveling of a robot with high accuracy by providing a learning function to a robot itself for its traveling path and traveling region to ensure freely the unmanned traveling of the robot on the basis of said learning function and at the same time monitoring the traveling state of the robot through a display part. CONSTITUTION:The learning traveling of a robot is started in accordance with an expected course by means of a remote control transmitting and receiving devices 8 and 9. Then an arithmetic control part 4 calculates momentarily the present position (x, y) and the traveling direction theta of the robot on the two-dimentional coordinates on the basis of the signals sent from a distance sensor 1 and a direction sensor 2 respectively. The results of these calculations are held successively at a memory part 5. The robot is set at its start position S after the learning traveling is through with the robot. Then the devices 8 and 9 are switched to an unmanned mode by a control part 7, and the part 4 gives a driving command to make the robot have the copying traveling on an expected course C on the basis of the data stored in a memory part 5. Thus the robot is automatically driven.
