I don’t suppose I’ve never learned something like this before. So good to see someone with some authentic ideas on this subject. I really thank you for starting it. This web site is one thing that’s needed on the net, somebody with a little bit originality.

This is cool and a great innovation!

But I guess this would require a lot of money.

Can it pass through stairs or just merely on plain areas?

Thanks..Still good news.

This robot doesn’t have GPS, rather it has something “like a min-GPS” system according to the manufacturer.

The system has an infrared projection system on the charging station that projects a pattern onto the ceiling. The robot uses a camera to see this projection to allow it to calculate its orientation and position. If I recall correctly from their literature, the Northstar system can use up to 10 projectors. This will allow it to navigate through various rooms.

The Northstar navigation system was developed by Evolution Robotics.
