    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an autonomous type cleaning device, capable of controlling an action mode, a moving pattern, or an action to immediately detect collision of debris on a floor surface as a cleaning object, and respond to detected debris to move the device to a more contaminated area.SOLUTION: By means of a piezoelectric debris sensor which responds to the collision of debris, and related signal processors, the autonomous or non-autonomous cleaning device detects presence of debris, and responds to select an action mode, an action condition, or moving pattern such as spot coverage. A plurality of sensor channels are usable to enable detection or creation of differential right/left debris signals, so that the autonomous device is moved toward the debris. By positioning the debris sensor to a place where debris swept up by a brush assembly is colliding with each other, collision of the debris can be more properly detected.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mobile robot cleaner, which is designed so that an escape state of the mobile robot cleaner is detected using various sensors, and the robot is turned off upon determination of an escape-impossible situation. SOLUTION: The mobile robot cleaner for cleaning a floor surface having optional size and shape includes: a moving means for moving the mobile robot cleaner on the floor surface; a collision sensor for detecting an obstacle to which the mobile robot cleaner contacts or approaches during movement of the mobile robot cleaner; a cliff sensor for detecting a cliff; and a controller for controlling the moving means based on output signals from the collision sensor and the cliff sensor. The controller stops the movement of the mobile robot cleaner by the moving means when the cliff sensor detects the cliff for more than a predetermined time. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an autonomous cleaning device that is designed and configured to optimize the cleaning capability and efficiency of its cleaning mechanisms while concomitantly minimizing or reducing the power requirements of such cleaing mechanisms.
    SOLUTION: The autonomous floor-cleaning robot includes a housing infrastructure including a chassis, right and left main wheel assemblies for forward driving the robot, a vacuum system mounted on the chassis to ingest particulates for floor cleaning, and a brush assembly to collect particulates from a floor surface upon floor cleaning. The vacuum system includes a vacuum inlet of constant width and space, separate and independently of a sweep area defined by the brush assembly. A trailing edge of the vacuum system is orientated so that the vacuum inlet is immediately adjacent the brush assembly and forward facing.
