    Abstract: In the following, a system having an autonomous mobile robot and a base station for the robot is described. In accordance with one example, the robot comprises a navigation module with a navigation sensor for detecting geometric features of objects in the environment of the robot. The base station has at least one geometric feature which can be detected by the robot by means of the navigation sensor. The robot includes a robot controller that is coupled with the navigation module, the robot controller being configured to identify and/or localize the base station and/or to determine a docking position of the robot based on the at least one geometric feature of the base station.

    Abstract: The embodiments described herein relate, inter alia, to a method for controlling an autonomous mobile robot which can operate in a first and at least one second contour-following mode, wherein, in each of the contour-following modes, the robot maintains a substantially constant distance away from a contour while it moves along the contour. According to one exemplary embodiment, the method comprises the following: starting the first contour-following mode, in which the robot follows the contour in a first direction of travel; detecting a dead-end situation, in which it is not possible to continue following the contour in the first contour-following mode without collision; starting a second contour-following mode, in which the robot follows the contour in a second direction of travel; and defining a criterion, the fulfilment of which terminates the second contour-following mode, and continually evaluating the criterion while the robot operates in the second contour-following mode.

    Abstract: A method for controlling at least one autonomous mobile robot, wherein the at least one robot is designed to navigate within a functional area on the basis of a map of said functional area, and to perform at least one task autonomously in the functional area. The method involves: receiving a job request which contains instructions for carrying out at least one task in the functional area, automatically dividing the job request into at least two sub-tasks, and automatically determining a sequence in which said sub-tasks are to be processed by the at least one robot, the job request being fully completed once all sub-tasks have been processed.

    Abstract: A method for controlling an autonomous mobile robot for carrying out a task in a local region of an area of application of the robot. According to one embodiment, the method comprises the following steps: positioning the robot in starting position within the area of application of the robot; detecting information relating to the surroundings of the robot by means of at least one sensor; selecting a region with a determined geometric basic shape; and automatically determining, based on the detected information relating to the surroundings, at least one of the two following parameters: size and position (also including the orientation/alignment) of the selected region.
