Abstract
A self-moving robot system may comprise a signal generating device configured to generate a preset signal; a signal detecting device, configured to detect the preset signal and generate a detection result; a signal line configured to radiate or/and receive the preset signal; and a control unit disposed on a self-moving robot, wherein the control unit receives the detection result and controls the self-moving robot to move according to the detection result; one end of the signal line is connected to the signal generating device or/and the signal detecting device; the signal line unidirectionally extends from the end, and the signal line does not constitute a circuitry loop. The system can realize judging a working area and/or guiding returning of the self-moving robot by a non-closed signal line, to thereby simplify arrangement of the border line or guide line, and improve the user experience.
