Abstract:
Provided is a vacuum cleaner main body (11) capable of picking up images over a wide range by a camera (35) securely without being interrupted by any obstacles. The vacuum cleaner main body (11) includes a main casing (20), a camera (35) capable of picking up images and provided in the main casing (20), driving wheels for enabling the main casing (20) to travel, a sensor part (31) provided in the main casing (20) to detect a distance to an obstacle around the main casing (20), and a control unit. The control unit has at least a traveling mode and an image pickup mode. In the traveling mode, the control unit controls drive of the driving wheels so as to make the main casing (20) autonomously travel. In the image pickup mode, the control unit makes the main casing (20) autonomously travel to an image pickup position where no obstacles within a certain distance around the main casing (20) are detected by the sensor part (31) and where still images in a plurality of directions are picked up.

Abstract:
A robot cleaner system is described including a docking station to form a docking area within a predetermined angle range of a front side thereof, to form docking guide areas which do not overlap each other on the left and right sides of the docking area, and to transmit a docking guide signal such that the docking guide areas are distinguished as a first docking guide area and a second docking guide area according to an arrival distance of the docking guide signal. The robot cleaner system also includes a robot cleaner to move to the docking area along a boundary between the first docking guide area and the second docking guide area when the docking guide signal is sensed and to move along the docking area so as to perform docking when reaching the docking area.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a robot cleaner comprising: a main body which forms an outer appearance; a driving unit for moving the main body; a cleaning unit, installed at the lower portion of the main body, for sucking filth or dust on a floor surface or in the air; light emitting units which are installed at the lower portion of the main body and configured to externally emit light according the driving condition of the driving unit; and a controller for controlling the plurality of light emitting units so that the light emitting units emit light in forms different from each other according to each of a first driving condition where the main body is stopped, a second driving condition where the main body moves, and a third driving condition where the main body rotates.
Abstract:
Provided is an electric cleaning device capable of easily and reliably directing a camera toward an object and imaging the object. An electric cleaning device (10) includes an electric vacuum cleaner main body (11) capable of autonomously traveling, and a charging device (12) that guides the electric vacuum cleaner main body (11), and can image an object (P). A control part has an imaging mode in which the control part makes a main body case (20) travel so as to approach the charging device (12) in line with guide signals (SL) and (SR) received by a light receiving part, and performs imaging in a set direction with a camera (35) based on the guide signals (SL) and (SR) when the main body case (20) reaches a position at a predetermined distance from the charging device (12).
Abstract:
Provided is a vacuum cleaner device (10) having a vacuum cleaner main body (11) capable of finding a charging device (12) more efficiently. A control unit (20) has a first traveling mode and a second traveling mode. In the first traveling mode, the control unit (20) controls operation of driving wheels so that a main casing (15) is made to travel straight and, upon detection of an object by an object sensor (31), the main casing (15) is changed in traveling direction and made to travel straight. In the second traveling mode, the control unit (20) controls the operation of the driving wheels so that the main casing (15) travels in a curved shape along an object detected by the object sensor (31). When the charging device (12) is not found by a signal reception part (33) during traveling within a region by the first traveling mode, the control unit (20) is changed over to the second traveling mode. The control unit (20) is changed over to the first traveling mode when it is decided a specified number of times or more that the main casing (15) has moved to a different region by the second traveling mode.
