  • AUTONOMOUS MOBILE DEVICE, METHOD OF RESTRAINING MOVEMENT RANGE THEREOF, AND AUTONOMOUS MOBILE DEVICE SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20140005873
    Abstract: An autonomous mobile device system includes a plurality of magnetic components and an autonomous mobile device. The magnetic components are adapted to be arranged on a surface in a space-apart manner and produce a magnetic field serving as a virtual boundary on the surface. The autonomous mobile device is configured to move on the surface, and includes a housing, a magnetic sensor for detecting the magnetic field, and a motion control module for controlling movement of the autonomous mobile device. The motion control module is operable in a first movement mode, in which the autonomous mobile device is restrained from crossing the virtual boundary when the magnetic sensor detects the magnetic field.
