Autonomous Robot with auto navigation to docking station

Hi,

I'm currently doing a project is with Autonomous Robot as a system base, but i have issue on navigate the robot back to the docking station. The currently option for me to use the robot to navigate back to the docking station are:

  1. IR transceiver
  2. digital compass

Which of the the component that is recommend or any other recommendations?

Most of the autonomous vacuum robots find their way to the base/charger. Maybe investigate how those consumer products function.

That won't help if the vacuum is in another room!

In fact, it won't help much at all. :roll_eyes:

I could be wrong, but I believe these machines use an IR beacon on the docking station.

Well in my project I did planning to use IR sensor as a beacon but apparently at the online source just mentioned about IR transceiver but didn't take about how it works
