Method for self-moving robot to return to base station and self-moving robot

The embodiment of the invention provides a method for a self-moving robot to return to a base station, and relates to the technical field of self-moving robots, the self-moving robot is provided with an induction detection element, the base station is provided with an induction element corresponding to the induction detection element, and the method comprises the steps that the self-moving robot is controlled to advance towards the base station; after the sensing element is sensed through the sensing detection element, the self-moving robot is controlled to turn around; and after the self-moving robot turns round, controlling the self-moving robot to retreat to return to the base station. The risk of damage in the process that the self-moving robot retreats and returns to the base station can be reduced. 本申请实施例提供了一种自移动机器人返回基站的方法，涉及自移动机器人技术领域，自移动机器人上设置有感应探测元件，基站上设有与感应探测元件相对应的感应元件，该方法包括：控制自移动机器人向基站行进；在通过感应探测元件感测到感应元件后，控制自移动机器人掉头；在自移动机器人掉头后，控制自移动机器人后退以返回基站。采用本申请可以降低自移动机器人后退返回基站的过程中发生损坏的风险。
