A cleaning robot include a main body and a cleaning module. The cleaning module includes a box body, at least one driving mechanism, and at least one rotating plate assembly. The box body includes a first connector. The at least one driving mechanism is positioned on a bottom surface of the box body, electrically connected to the first connector, and includes at least one drive shaft. Each rotating plate assembly is connected to a corresponding drive shaft and includes a cleaning surface. The cleaning surface is configured to rotate under the drive of the corresponding drive shaft to clean a to-be cleaned surface. The main body includes a second connector. The box body is detachably positioned on the main body, such that the first connector is connected to or disconnected to the second connector.

Disclosed is a method for controlling a mopping robot including a mopping member for mopping and cleaning a floor. The method includes: if the mopping robot has mopped a first area in a first state with the mopping member at a target degree of cleanliness, performing a mopping member cleaning operation; if the mopping robot has mopped a second area in a second state with the mopping member at the target degree of cleanliness, and if the mopping member satisfies the cleaning condition, performing the mopping member cleaning operation. An apparatus for controlling a mopping robot and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are also provided.
