Mobile robot system and remote control method for the same
First Claim
1. A mobile robot system comprising:
- a mobile robot configured to perform a task while moving in a traveling region; and
a device configured to remotely control the mobile robot,wherein the device further includes;
a dial configured to input a control command regarding movement and operation of the mobile robot, anda mode button configured to change a control mode of the mobile robot,wherein in a first control mode the dial transmits the control command to the mobile robot to directly control a direction of movement of the mobile robot, and in a second control mode the dial transmits the control command to the mobile robot to set a time of operation,wherein the transmitted control command indicates a change in the movement and operation of the mobile robot in proportion to a detected magnitude of a change of the dial by at least one of a shuttling rotation direction, a shuttling rotation angular speed, or shuttling rotation angle information.

Abstract
A mobile robot system for allowing a user to easily input a control command of a mobile robot, and a remote control method for the same are disclosed. The mobile robot system and the remote control method thereof can allow a user to easily input control commands regarding the movement and operation of the mobile robot using the jog-dial interface, such that the possibility of causing input errors can be reduced and desired commands can be quickly and efficiently transmitted, resulting in increased user manipulation of the mobile robot system. When the user enters the rotation command of the mobile robot, the mobile robot system can allow the user to perform intuitive interfacing through shuttle manipulation, such that the mobile robot system can facilitate transmission of a movement command having a circular trajectory and the same mobile robot control as in the user-intended control is achieved, resulting in implementation of emotional interface capable of increasing user accessibility.

15. A remote control method for a mobile robot system configured to remotely control a mobile robot using a dial provided in a device, the remote control method comprising:
-
transmitting to the mobile robot, by the dial in a first control mode, a first control command to directly control a direction of movement of the mobile robot, and by the dial in a second control mode, a second control command to set a time of operation of the mobile robot, wherein the transmitted first and second control commands indicate a change in the direction of movement and the time of operation of the mobile robot in proportion to a magnitude of a detected change of the dial by at least one of a shuttling rotation direction, a shuttling rotation angular speed, or shuttling rotation angle information. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
