Design of Cleaning Robot Autonomous Charging System

Abstract

A system of cleaning robots independent charge containing hardware system and software system is designed. The hardware circuit of charging station includes a power supply circuit, the battery constant current charging circuit of charging current which can be regulated by the hardware and software, position coding signal transmitting circuit. This paper also presents a new independent charging algorithm that the robot can search automatically charging station using the random walk model in unknown environment, so that the robot have the ability to find independently the charging station. The results show that the cleaning robot can complete automatic charging, and the success rate is 100%.
