First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for enabling a Class II robot to recognize, identify and locate individula ones of plurality of objects in an environment comprising:
- (a) a transmitter physically adjacent each object for transmitting a coded signal that is unique for each object enabling it to be identified;
(b) a receiver in the vicinity of the objects;
(c) decoding means at the receiver responsive to a coded signal from an object for decoding the signal and identifying the object; and
(d) locating means at the receiver responsive to the spatial position of the transmitter relative to the receiver for receiving the same coded signal as the decoding means and determining therefrom the position of the object with respect to the receiver.

Abstract
A recognition system for robots is responsive to encoded information from a plurality of sources for enabling a robot to recognize and identify the sources. A receiver located on the robot detects incoming signals and decodes them. The decoded signal is compared with information stored in the robot memory to provide source identification. A direction determining sub-system incorporated into the receiver provides source direction information. The system may utilize either digital or analog techniques.
