    Abstract: A robotic cleaner may include one or more driven wheels and a controller communicatively coupled to the one or more driven wheels. The controller may be configured to cause: the robotic cleaner to move along a cleaning path that includes one or more row portions and one or more turn-around portions, the robotic cleaner to stop forward movement at a first cleaning point, and the robotic cleaner to rotate in a rotation direction at the first cleaning point, the rotation direction being only one of clockwise or counter clockwise.

    Abstract: A moving robot includes: a sensor to acquire terrain information; a memory to store node data for at least one node; and a controller, and the controller determines whether at least one open movement direction exists among a plurality of movement directions, based on sensing data and the node data, generates a new node in the node data when at least one open movement direction exists, determines any one of the open movement directions as a traveling direction for the robot, determines whether at least one of the nodes needs to be updated exists, based on the node data when the open movement direction does not exist, controls the moving robot to move to one of the nodes that need to be updated, and generates of a map including the at least one node, based on the node data, when the node that needs to be updated does not exist.

    Abstract: A method for operating a cleaning appliance, which moves automatically inside a surrounding area, wherein the cleaning appliance performs a cleaning of a defined spatially defined partial surface area of the surrounding area. To optimize the cleaning operation as a function of a measured soiling, it is proposed that a detection device of the cleaning appliance measures a level of soiling of the partial surface area during the cleaning of the partial surface area, wherein the level of soiling is compared to a defined reference level of soiling and wherein the partial surface area is enlarged automatically by adding a defined additional partial area, which adjoins the partial surface area, if a level of soiling above the reference level of soiling is determined inside the partial surface area.

    Abstract: A map of the surroundings for a motorized domestic appliance is created by transmitting signals and allocating reflections to points. A local distribution of the points is formed. Points are discarded if a correspondence of the distribution to a straight line fails to reach a predefined degree. In a second variant, points whose distance from an average location exceeds a predefined value are discarded. The surroundings may be divided into tiles. A normal distribution transformation for the points of a tile specifies an average location and a variance of the points. The variance has two eigenvectors in two dimensions, each with an eigenvalue describing the variance contained in the eigenvector. A ratio between the larger and smaller eigenvalues describes an equal or unequal distribution of the variances. If, however, the quotient is, say, 10 or more, a large number of points of the tile can lie along a straight line.

    Abstract: A moving method for a self-moving device, and a self-moving device are provided. The method includes: driving the self-moving device to move in a first advancing direction; determining whether the self-moving device can continue to move in the first advancing direction; and controlling the self-moving device to perform a first escape preprocessing operation, if the self-moving device cannot continue to move in the first advancing direction. When the self-moving device is encountered with a raised sill on the ground, the solution provided in the present disclosure enables the self-moving device to effectively cross the raised sill.
