Abstract: A piezoelectric debris sensor (125L, 125R) and associated signal processor (135) responsive to debris strikes enable an autonomous or non-autonomous cleaning device to detect the presence of debris and in response, to select a behavioral mode, operational condition or pattern of movement, such as spot coverage or the like. Multiple sensor channels (125, 125R) can be used to enable the detection or generation of differential left/right debris signals and thereby enable an autonomous device to steer in the direction of debris.

Abstract: Provided are a window cleaning apparatus including first and second cleaning units which are respectively attached on both surfaces of a window using a magnetic force to move together with each other, and a method for controlling a movement of the window cleaning apparatus. The window cleaning apparatus includes a direction detecting sensor, a control part, a collision sensing part, and an offset setting part. The direction detecting sensor is provided to at least one of the first and second cleaning units to detect a moving direction of the window cleaning apparatus. The control part controls a movement of the window cleaning apparatus, based on the moving direction detected by the direction detecting sensor. The collision sensing part senses a shock to the window cleaning apparatus. The offset setting part sets a direction offset of the direction detecting sensor when the window cleaning apparatus collides with a frame of the window.

Abstract: A method for controlling a robot cleaner includes: detecting a cleaning target space, setting a cleaning region within the detected cleaning space and cleaning the set cleaning region; if the set cleaning region is completely cleaned, moving to a not-yet-cleaned region adjacent to a cleaning completion spot of the cleaning region; and setting a new cleaning region in the not-yet-cleaned region and performing cleaning. Without repeating a cleaning region in the cleaning target space, the robot cleaner can extend its cleaning region, so the cleaning efficiency of the robot cleaner can be improved. Also, the robot cleaner can be smoothly enter a new cleaning target space or released therefrom. In particular, even when the entrance of the new cleaning target space is narrow, the robot cleaner can smoothly enter the new cleaning target space and gets out thereof.
