Abstract: A mobile robot rotates a spin mop to move a main body along a surface and clean the surface. A location change of the main body during its motion is analyzed to determine if the robot is traveling abnormally. If abnormal traveling is occurring, the location where it is occurring is stored and re-cleaning of the location is initiated. The location where abnormal traveling occurred may be considered in next cleaning to improve cleaning efficiency.

Abstract: A robot cleaner includes a rotation motor; a rotation member that is rotatable by driving of the rotation motor having a first surface, a second surface, and an opening through the rotation member and penetrating the first surface and the second surface; and a floorcloth coupling member disposed on the second surface and having a floorcloth attaching unit insertable into the opening to be detachably coupled to a floorcloth in contact with the first surface. The rotation member and the floorcloth coupling member are configured so that, when the floorcloth attaching unit is inserted into the opening and detachably coupled to the floorcloth, the rotation member rotates in a first state, the floorcloth attaching unit remains coupled to the floorcloth. When the rotation member rotates in a second state, the floorcloth attaching unit exits the opening so that the floorcloth becomes detached from the floorcloth attaching unit.
