Abstract
A system for enabling a mobile robot to utilize an elevator autonomously comprises a pressing module including at least one pressing finger adapted to press elevator call buttons on an elevator call control panel. A lifting device of the system supports the pressing module and selectively adjusts a height position of the pressing module for aligning the at least one pressing finger on the pressing module to height positions horizontally aligned with the elevator call buttons. A controller wirelessly communicates with the mobile robot and the pressing module. In response to a command sent by the mobile robot, the controller instructs the pressing module to press an elevator call button on the elevator call control panel associated with the command.
