1. A method for routing a robotic apparatus to a service station, comprising the steps of:

  • enabling a robotic apparatus to search for a communication signal emitted from a service station;

    enabling the robotic apparatus to rotate for locating a moving direction pointing to the communication signal of maximum intensity;

    directing the robotic apparatus to move toward the service station by the guidance of the moving direction; and

    making an evaluation by a manner selected from the group consisting of a contact manner and a non-contact manner to determining whether the robotic apparatus reaches the service station, while directing the service station to serve the robotic apparatus if the robotic apparatus reaches the service station.
