Abstract
An autonomous movement system may include: a working robot configured to perform an operation while moving autonomously in a working area; a charging station configured to charge the working robot; a boundary wire defining the working area; and a station wire disposed at the charging station and electrically connected to the boundary wire. The working robot may include: a magnetic detecting unit configured to detect a magnetic field generated by the boundary wire and a magnetic field generated by the station wire; and a control unit configured to detect the station wire based on a detection result by the magnetic detecting unit. The charging station may include: a charging terminal configured to be electrically connected to the working robot; and a signal generator configured to supply an identical electric signal to the boundary wire and the station wire.
