Abstract: A method includes maneuvering a robot in (i) a following mode in which the robot is controlled to travel along a path segment adjacent an obstacle, while recording data indicative of the path segment, and (ii) in a coverage mode in which the robot is controlled to traverse an area. The method includes generating data indicative of a layout of the area, updating data indicative of a calculated robot pose based at least on odometry, and calculating a pose confidence level. The method includes, in response to the confidence level being below a confidence limit, maneuvering the robot to a suspected location of the path segment, based on the calculated robot pose and the data indicative of the layout and, in response to detecting the path segment within a distance from the suspected location, updating the data indicative of the calculated pose and/or the layout.

Abstract: This application provides a method for controlling a robot cleaner, a robot cleaner, and a storage medium. The method for controlling the robot cleaner includes the steps of: acquiring a weight of the water tank, comparing the weight of the water tank with a setting value to acquire a comparison result, determining a remaining usable time of the robot cleaner according to the comparison result, and controlling the robot cleaner according to the remaining usable time. Since the weight of the water tank is not easily interfered by other factors, the acquiring of weight has a high accuracy, thereby the remaining usable time determined according to the weight of the water tank has a high accuracy, and then the robot cleaner is controlled according to the remaining usable time with higher accuracy. The control accuracy of the robot cleaner thus can be improved.
