    Abstract: An anti-collision mechanism comprises a body, a collision baffle, a magnetic element, and a magnetic field sensor, and the anti-collision mechanism is configured to be applicable to a sweeping robot. The magnetic field sensor is arranged at a distance from the magnetic element, the magnetic field sensor is configured to detect a change in the magnetic field intensity caused by a change in the distance between the magnetic field sensor and the magnetic element. When the collision occurs, the magnetic element is closer to the magnetic field sensor to make the magnetic field intensity change, thus generating signals to stop or turn the sweeping robot, which can realize the obstacle avoidance of the sweeping robot and enhance the service life. The sweeping robot is also provided.

    Abstract: In a mobile robot and a control method therefor according to the present disclosure, a plurality of mobile robots located in an area confirm the positions of other mobile robots and operate in cooperation with each other to cooperatively clean then area. One mobile robot moves to follow the position of another mobile robot, so that the mobile robots with different cleaning types cooperate to clean the area. Accordingly, the plurality of mobile robots can cooperatively perform cleaning without colliding within one area, and by combining or changing a plurality of position detection methods as needed, the position of another mobile robot can be easily calculated and the cleaning efficiency is greatly improved.
