ROBOTIC VIRTUAL BOUNDARIES

In one embodiment, a virtual boundary is provided in the global coordinates of the area map and is converted into a plurality of line segments corresponding to a plurality of partial maps. In one embodiment, a physical boundary indicator is used during a training/mapping run, with the location added to the area map and the physical boundary indicator later moved. In one embodiment, the virtual boundary changes over time to change cleaning areas, act as a gate, change associated cleaning mode, etc. In one embodiment, virtual areas with boundaries are selected by a user. 本公开提供了种清洁机器人及种操控所述清洁机器人的方法。在个实施例中，提供区域地图的全局坐标中的虚拟边界，且将虚拟边界转换为对应于多个部分地图的多个线段。在个实施例中，在训练/绘制地图的运行期间使用物理边界标记，将位置添加到区域地图，随后移走物理边界标记。在个实施例中，虚拟边界随时间改变以改变清洁区域、充当门、改变相关的清洁模式等。在个实施例中，由用户选择具有边界的虚拟区域。
