SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ORIENTING A ROBOT IN A SPACE

An orientation system includes a base station comprising a light emitter that projects a pattern onto a projection surface of a space, an auxiliary station including an auxiliary emitter that projects an auxiliary pattern onto the projection surface, and a robot including a moveable base supporting an imaging device. The robot detects the pattern and the auxiliary pattern with the imaging device, and determines a location of the robot within the space based on the pattern.
