Methods for setting and programming zoning for use by autonomous modular robots

Methods and software for setting parameters for operating a modular robot are disclosed. One method includes receiving, by a server, communications data from a controller of the modular robot. The modular robot has storage for storing program instructions for executing autonomous movement at a location. The method includes sending, by the server, an initial outline for the controller to generate calibrated mapping data for the location. The calibrated mapping data identifies an outline at the location. The method includes sending, by the server, identification of at least two zones at the location, where the at least two zones define different areas at the location. The controller of the modular robot is configured to use the calibrated mapping data for said autonomous movement at the location and the controller is configured to operate a respective work function in each of the at least two zones.

Cleaning device

The cleaning device includes a main body and at least one drive wheel. The at least one drive wheel is arranged on the main body. The main body can walk on the surface to be cleaned by means of the at least one drive wheel. The cleaning device further includes a driving mechanism, a movable bracket, and a cleaning assembly. The driving mechanism is arranged on the main body, the movable bracket is movably connected to the bottom of the main body, and is connected to the driving mechanism. The movable bracket reciprocates along the direction parallel to the surface to be cleaned under the driving action of the driving mechanism. The cleaning assembly is detachably connected to the movable bracket.

BASE STATION AND CLEANING ROBOT SYSTEM
