Wall-following Moving Device
First Claim
1. A wall-following moving device, comprising:
- a base;
a determining drive unit being mounted on the base;
two signal transceiver units being capable of synchronously transmitting and receiving specific signals that will be reflected back from an obstacle, being arranged on the base at the same lateral side, being spaced from each other and being electrically connected to the determining drive unit for sending the received specific signals to the determining drive unit; and
a moving element being mounted to the base and electrically connected to the determining drive unit, being driven by the determining drive unit to perform various movements, such as moving forward, moving backward, turning in a curve, reorienting to a specified direction, etc.

Abstract
A wall-following moving device consists of a base; a determining drive unit; multiple collision sensing units; two signal transceiver units arranged at the same lateral side of the base parallel to the moving direction of the base for synchronously transmitting and receiving specific signals, and being electrically connected to the determining drive unit; and a moving element mounted to the base and controlled by the determining drive unit to perform various movements. The determining drive unit compares two reflected signals from a wall received separately by two signal transceiver units, and uses the intensity difference of the signals as a basis to control the moving element to orientate the robot parallel to the wall. By an intricate coordination of the collision sensing units, two signal transceiver units, determining drive unit, and the moving element, the distance between the robot and a wall can be precisely determined and controlled.
