A set of pool cleaning robots for cleaning a pool, wherein a first pool cleaning robot of the set and a second pool cleaning robot of the set are configured to clean different regions of the pool.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A set of pool cleaning robots for cleaning a pool, wherein the set comprises pool cleaning robots that are configured to perform allocating, in a distributed manner, cleaning tasks for cleaning different regions of the pool between the pool cleaning robots, wherein the pool cleaning robots comprises a first pool cleaning robot and a second pool cleaning robot, wherein the first pool cleaning robot is configured to change a communication parameter related to communication attempts with the second pool cleaning robot when the first pool cleaning robot reaches a demarcation between regions allocated to the first and second pool cleaning robots. 2. A set of pool cleaning robots for cleaning a pool, wherein the set comprises pool cleaning robots that are configured to perform allocating, in a distributed manner, cleaning tasks for cleaning different regions of the pool between the pool cleaning robots, wherein the pool cleaning robots comprises a first pool cleaning robot and a second pool cleaning robot, wherein the first pool cleaning robot is configured to determine a communication parameter related to communication attempts with the second pool cleaning robot based on a distance between the first pool cleaning robot and the second pool cleaning robot.
