Abstract

A docking station is provided that includes at least one component configured to couple to a robot and an identification surface. The identification surface includes a first curvature that varies at a first substantially constant rate of change along a first dimension the identification includes a second curvature that varies at a second substantially constant rate of change along a second dimension. The second dimension is orthogonal to the first dimension. The identification surface includes a third curvature that varies at a third substantially constant rate of change along a third dimension. The third dimension is orthogonal to the first dimension and the second dimension.
