Summary: | A power-saving robot system (100) includes at least one peripheral device (102) to be placed in an environment with a mobile robot (104). The peripheral device has a controller (1026) with an active mode (938) in which the peripheral device is fully operative, and a hibernation mode (932) in which the peripheral device is at least partly inactive. The mobile robot (104) has a controller (1046) with an activating routine (904) that communicates with the peripheral device (102) via wireless communication components (1024, 1044) and temporarily activates the peripheral device (102) from the hibernation mode (932) when the wireless communication components (1024, 1044) of the peripheral device (102) and the robot (104) come within range of one another. |
