Die Erfindung betrifft auch ein Verfahren zum Betreiben eines Haushaltsroboters.
Abstract:
A method of dust processing comprises measuring (PC1) a first amount of particles of a first size (e.g. PM10), and measuring (PC2) a second amount of particles of a second size (e.g. PM2.5) smaller than the first size. In accordance with the invention, it is determined (Δ) whether the first amount exceeds the second amount by a predefined threshold. If so, a robotic vacuum cleaner (RVC) may be prompted to start cleaning a room.
