Abstract: A cleaning robot is provided. The cleaning robot includes a main body, a moving assembly to move the main body around a home, an imaging unit to obtain images around the main body, a controller to generate a map of the home using the obtained images, and a communication unit to transmit the generated map to a home monitoring apparatus. A procedure to match location and type information of electric devices to a two-Dimensional (2D) or three-Dimensional (3D) map of the home may be automated. As described above, the map of the home may be realistically generated by utilizing a map generated by the cleaning robot and inconvenience experienced by a user to manually register electric devices located in each room of the home may be solved by automatically registering the electric devices.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for guiding a robot (1) in a working zone (T), including the following steps: a) setting in said working zone (T) a first marker (B1) relative to which said robot (1) can find its bearing; b) moving forward said robot (1) in said working zone (T) from said first marker (B1); c) when said robot (1) reaches a region of said working zone (T) where it is likely to lose sight of said first marker (B1), causing it to set in said region a second marker (B2) relative to which it can likewise find its bearing; d) determining and storing the position of said second marker (B2) relative to said first marker; e) moving forward the robot in said working zone (T) from said second marker (B2); and f) using thereafter the position stored at step d) to deduce, from the position of said robot (1) relative to said second marker (B2), its position relative to said first marker (B1).
