Provided are a map drawing method, a map drawing device, a computer-readable storage medium and an electronic apparatus. The map drawing method comprises scanning a boundary of a surface medium region to generate an initialized region; merging boundary coordinates of the initialized region to obtain a merged region; dividing the merged region into a plurality of sub-regions according to a preset shape; and drawing the boundary of the surface medium region based on the sub-regions and the merged region to obtain a map of the surface medium region. The method can improve the detailedness of the drawn map of the surface medium region.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, including instructions, which when executed, cause processing circuitry to perform operations to receive sensor data from a mobile cleaning robot based on interactions between the mobile cleaning robot and an environment. The instructions can further cause the processing circuitry to perform operations to generate a boundary of traversable space by the mobile cleaning robot within the environment using the sensor data, the boundary at least partially defining non-traversable space of the environment, and the non-traversable space including a region beyond the boundary. The instructions can further cause the processing circuitry to perform operations to generate a modified boundary of the environment using the non-traversable space and the sensor data.

A cleaning path acquisition method includes: generating a cleaning path of a cleaning device on the basis of a path of the cleaning device, a state mode of the cleaning device, and the amount of water consumed by the cleaning device, wherein the state modes of the cleaning device comprise one or more of a sweeping state mode, a mopping state mode, a sweeping and mopping state mode, and a sweeping and mopping idle state mode; and the cleaning path comprises one or more of a sweeping path, a mopping path, a sweeping and mopping path, and a sweeping and mopping idle path corresponding to the state modes of the cleaning device.

A system of robotic cleaning devices and a method of a master robotic cleaning device of controlling at least one slave robotic cleaning device. The method performed by a master robotic cleaning device of controlling at least one slave robotic cleaning device includes detecting obstacles, deriving positional data from the detection of obstacles, positioning the master robotic cleaning device with respect to the detected obstacles from the derived positional data, controlling movement of the master robotic cleaning device based on the positional data, and submitting commands to the at least one slave robotic cleaning device to control a cleaning operation of said at least one slave robotic cleaning device, the commands being based on the derived positional data, wherein the cleaning operation of the slave robotic cleaning device is controlled as indicated by the submitted commands.

The present invention relates to a transparent object recognition autonomous driving service robot means and, more specifically, to a transparent object recognition autonomous driving service robot means which recognizes and defines information on a transparent object to allow an accurate map to be constructed in consideration of information on the transparent object when preparing a simultaneous localization map-building (SLAM) of an autonomous driving service robot operated for various purposes so that the autonomous driving service robot may perform autonomous driving for a safe and stable service without an error in recognition and determination of the transparent object.

A robot is able to close a door when a mobile base of the robot cannot move to a front face side of the door. A tool is provided on an arm part of the robot and the tool is hooked on or holds door. A drives the mobile base and/or the arm part in a situation where the mobile base is on a back face side of the opened door, to hook the tool on the door or to make the tool hold the door, drives the mobile base and/or the arm part to move the tool hooked on or holding the door in a direction in which the door is closed and thus to decrease an opening angle of the door, and drives the mobile base and/or the arm part to push the front face of the door with the decreased opening angle.

The present invention relates to a self-driving serving robot system for service calls for multi-story buildings that improves the mobility of the self-driving service robot, expands its range of movement, and provides various services to customers.

A cleaning robot includes a navigator to move a main body, a remote controller to output a modulated infrared ray in accordance with a control command of a user and to form a light spot, a light receiver to receive the infrared ray from the remote controller, and a controller to control the navigator such that the main body tracks the light spot when the modulated infrared ray is received in accordance with the control command. Because the cleaning robot tracks a position indicated by the remote controller, a user may conveniently move the cleaning robot.

The invention relates to a household robot, in particular an automatically movable cleaning robot for a floor area, having a housing, having running gear which is arranged on the underside of the housing, having a sensor system for detecting the area surrounding the housing and having a control for automatically controlling the running gear, in which the technical problem of preventing soiling by excrement from a living being is solved by providing detection element for detecting a sub-area of the floor area which has been soiled by excrement from a living being and by the control element changing the operating mode of the household robot dependent on an output signal from the detection element. The invention also relates to a method for operating a household robot.

Disclosed are a method for dividing a robot area based on boundaries, a chip and a robot. The method includes: setting, when the robot travels along the boundaries in a preset boundary direction in an indoor working area, a reference division boundary line according to data scanned by a laser sensor of the robot in real time; and identifying, after the robot finishes traveling along the boundaries in the preset boundary direction, a door at a position of the reference division boundary line according to image characteristic information of the position of the reference division boundary line acquired by a camera of the robot, and marking the reference division boundary line on a laser map, so as to divide the indoor working area into different room subareas by means of the door.
