Abstract: A lifting mechanism comprises a lifting member, a first detection element and a second detection element. The lifting mechanism is applied to a robot, the robot comprises a controller, the controller is electrically connected with the lifting mechanism. The first detection element and the second detection element detect a height of the at least two guide rods, the controller controls the lifting member to move up or down according to the first position signal output by the first detection element and the second position signal output by the second detection element, so that the lifting mechanism can accurately locate the highest ascending position and lowest descending position of the lifting mechanism. A robot is also provided.

Abstract: A device to control the charging or cessation of charging a robot battery is installed in a robot. The device for autonomous charging battery includes the robot battery, a charging mechanism, a relay, a first controller, and a second controller. The relay is electrically connected with the charging mechanism and the first controller, the battery is electrically connected with the charging mechanism, the second controller communicates with the first controller, and the charging mechanism is used for electrically connecting an external charging device. The second controller is configured to receive the robot control command and output the relay control command to the first controller based on the robot control command. The first controller is configured to switch the relay on or off based on the control command to control charging or cessation of charging. A method of autonomous charging battery is also provided.

Abstract: An autonomous mobile robot with enhanced reliability in sensing and reporting obstacles and reduced signal distortion between obstacle sensors and processor comprises a data processor, a light detection and ranging module, a plurality of proximity sensors, and a multiplexer. The light detection and ranging module is coupled to the data processor and transmits first sensing signals to the data processor. The proximity sensors transmit second sensing signals to the data processor through the multiplexer, and the data processor performs path planning based on the first sensing signals and the second sensing signals.
