Abstract:
Provided are a cleaning robot and a method of controlling the same, and more specifically, a cleaning robot provided to detect an obstacle in various directions and a method of controlling the same. The cleaning robot includes a light emitter configured to radiate light, a plurality of light receivers configured to receive a radiation of the light in a predetermined direction among radiations of the light reflected from an obstacle when the radiated light is reflected from the obstacle, a support plate to which the light emitter and the light receiver are fixed and which is rotatably provided, and a controller configured to detect the obstacle on the basis of output signals transmitted from the light emitter and the plurality of light receivers and rotation information of the support plate.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a cleaning robot and a method of controlling the same. The cleaning robot according to one embodiment includes a modular in which one or more modules configured to support different functions are integrated, and a controller configured to control the overall operation of the cleaning robot.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relate to a cleaning robot docking to a station based on a radio frequency (RF) signal and a method of controlling the same. The cleaning robot comprises an antenna unit configured to receive a radio frequency (RF) signal transmitted from a station and a controller configured to extract a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) value by processing the RF signal received by the antenna unit and control movement of the cleaning robot to dock to the station based on the extracted RSSI value.
Abstract:
A cleaning robot having an improved structure capable of improving a user convenience and method for controlling the same are disclosed herein. A cleaning robot includes a main body to form an outer appearance and having an inlet port provided to suck a foreign matter present in a cleaning area, an operation unit detachably coupled to the main body and provided to be gripped, at least one motion sensor provided to detect a motion of the operation unit, and a control unit electrically connected to the at least one motion sensor to drive a driving motor of the main body based on the motion of the operation unit detected by the at least one motion sensor.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a cleaning robot of creating a 3Dimensional (3D) obstacle map including information about a height of an object existing on an area to be cleaned, and cleaning the area to be cleaned based on the 3D obstacle map, and a method of controlling the cleaning robot. Another aspect of the present disclosure is to provide a cleaning robot of matching, when it moves to another area by an external force during cleaning, a feature point map of an area where the cleaning robot is located before moving with a feature point map of another area where the cleaning robot is located after moving, and performing cleaning based on the matched feature point map, and a method of controlling the cleaning robot. In accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided A cleaning robot including: a main body; a moving portion configured to move the main body; an obstacle sensor configured to sense a height of an obstacle; and a controller configured to create an obstacle map including information about the height of the obstacle.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a cleaning robot including an improved driving unit to escape from an undriveable state occurring under various driving conditions. The cleaning robot includes a body, and a driving unit that drives the body. The driving unit includes a first driving motor and a second driving motor that generate driving power; a driving wheel that rotates when the driving power is delivered to the driving wheel from the first driving motor; and a wheel frame that supports the driving wheel to be rotatable and rotates between a first position and a second position with respect to a motor shaft of the first driving motor. The wheel frame rotates in at least one section between the first position and the second position when the driving power is delivered to the wheel frame from the second driving motor.
Abstract:
A cleaning robot including a main body, a pad mounted below the main body to implement cleaning, and a drive assembly to apply drive power to the pad. The drive assembly moves the main body to a target position by adjusting the drive power. The cleaning robot may move at a high speed owing to omni-directional movement thereof without rotation of the main body. Further, the cleaning robot may imitate a human wiping pattern, thus achieving enhanced cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, various cleaning patterns including a straight pattern and a curvilinear pattern may be applied to the cleaning robot.
