A system for controlling a robotic device is provided, the robotic device being configured to perform at least one operation on an external object. The system includes a radio frequency communication device comprised in or attached to the external object; and a radio frequency communication reader comprised in or attached to the robotic device. The radio frequency communication device comprises control data for controlling the at least one operation, the radio frequency communication reader is configured to read control data from the radio frequency communication device, and the robotic device is configured to perform the at least one operation using the control data. A corresponding method for controlling a robotic device is conceived, and a corresponding computer program is provided.

A robot includes: a robot body including a plurality of joints, and a cleaning mechanism provided to the robot body and configured to clean a predetermined cleaning target site of the robot body to which a foreign material is likely to adhere.

The present application discloses a system for dispatching cleaning robots. The system includes an input subsystem configured to provide an input signal including information about foot traffic in a time period in an area. The system includes a processing subsystem to receive and process the input signal and further to determine a cleaning task under an operation scheme and generate a control signal for the cleaning task. Further the system includes a communication subsystem configured to receive the control signal from the processing subsystem and one or more first signals respectively from the one or more cleaning robots. The communication subsystem sends the control signal based on the one or more first signals to dispatch at least one cleaning robot to the area to perform the cleaning task and receives one second signal from the cleaning robot to update the operation scheme.

A mobile panel maintenance system including a mobile panel maintenance unit having a base supported for translational motion over a surface within a panel array and a carriage movably mounted to the base to position a panel maintenance assembly in relation to a panel surface for panel maintenance.
