比如, 可以包括寻找污染源、 处理污染物或者给作业空间 100加湿等。 结合图 2所示, 该移动净化机器人可自动寻找污染源并到该处进行空气净化, 同时该净化机器人的空 气净化模块还可以升到一定的高度对高处的空气进化净化作业。 所述作业空间 100内 至少设置一个基站 2, 可以为空气净化机器人提供能量。 如果作业空间 100较大可以 均匀排布多个基站 2, 使空气净化机器人无论行走至何处都能就近获得能量。 例如所 述作业空间为一个整体无间隔区域, 则可以按照一定的间隔距离设置多个基站 2。 又 如图 3所示, 所述的作业空间 100为相互连接的房间, 可在每个房间里分别设置一个 基站 2, 如果有的房间面积较大, 可在较大的房间里设置两个或两个以上基站 2, 使得 基站 2在整个作业空间 100内大体上是均匀分布的, 以便于提供能量给空气净化机器 人。
