A moving robot is provided. The moving robot includes: a main body forming the exterior appearance; a moving means for moving the main body; a bumper configured to protrude on the outer perimeter of the main body; impact sensors placed at an angle on the main body to sense the movement of the bumper; and pressure parts formed in a bent shape at the end of the impact sensors.

A floor cleaning apparatus in the form of a motorized floor mop that can deliver liquid to a surface to be cleaned is provided with a handle, a base, a fluid delivery system, a motorized agitation system and a multi-axis swivel joint coupling the handle with the base for movement of the handle. A lock-out mechanism selectively locks out one of the axes of rotation of the multi-axis swivel joint.

An autonomous coverage robot detection system includes an emitter configured to emit a directed beam, a detector configured to detect the directed beam and a controller configured to direct the robot in response to a signal detected by the detector. In some examples, the detection system detects a stasis condition of the robot. In some examples, the detection system detects a wall and can follow the wall in response to the detected signal.

A washing apparatus washes a cleaner having a mop unit formed at a lower portion thereof. The washing apparatus includes a tray configured to form a space to receive the cleaner and washing water. A washing unit is disposed at a lower portion of the inside of the tray in contact with the mop unit. The washing unit includes a first spinning mop protrusion line configured to protrude upwardly, an upper end of the first spinning mop protrusion line being inclined downwardly in a first direction.

A robot cleaner includes a main body forming an external appearance of the robot cleaner, moving units configured to move the main body, a cleaning module arranged at one side of the main body so as to contact a floor and rotated, a module driving unit arranged in the main body and rotating the cleaning module, and a dust pocket configured to remove foreign substances attached to the outer circumference of the cleaning module.

An autonomous coverage robot includes a chassis having forward and rearward portions and a drive system carried by the chassis. The forward portion of the chassis defines a substantially rectangular shape. The robot includes a cleaning assembly mounted on the forward portion of the chassis and a bin disposed adjacent the cleaning assembly and configured to receive debris agitated by the cleaning assembly. A bin cover is pivotally attached to a lower portion of the chassis and configured to rotate between a first, closed position providing closure of an opening defined by the bin and a second, open position providing access to the bin opening. The robot includes a body attached to the chassis and a handle disposed on an upper portion of the body. A bin cover release is actuatable from substantially near the handle.

A robot cleaner includes a first cleaning module including left and right spin mops configured to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise when viewed from above while being in contact with a floor, and a second cleaning module including a rolling member configured to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise when viewed from a left side while being in contact with a floor, the rolling member being spaced apart from the left and right spin mops in an anteroposterior direction. A controller controls rotational motion of the left and right spin mops and rotational motion of the rolling member.

A robot cleaner includes a rolling cleaning module including a rolling member configured to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise when viewed from a left side while in contact with a floor, a sensor unit, and a controller configured to detect a change in position of the robot cleaner and a change in load current of a motor connected to the rolling member based on data detected by the sensor unit. When there is a change in position and a change in load current, a specific area of a floor is determined to be a contaminated area.

The invention is related to a mobile industrial autonomous device that can be used to perform different functions with the modules (8) of different features which can be easily changed by the user on the same platform. Although the main function targeted with the invention is the cleaning of indoor spaces, functions such as polishing, mowing, fertilizing, spraying etc. can also be provided by the robotic platform of the invention with modules that can be easily changed by the user. It will move automatically by the help of the lidar unit (4) and the camera units on the autonomous device, scan and map the environment and determine a route for itself accordingly and perform its function.

A mobile cleaner includes a body and a sweep module. The body has an installation space within the body and an insertion opening exposed to the underside of the body. The sweep module is detachably assembled to the installation space through the insertion hole. The sweep module includes a dust housing and an agitator. The dust housing includes a collection space for collecting the foreign material from the surface and a storage space where the foreign material is stored. The agitator is rotatably assembled to the dust housing and is configured to direct the foreign material from the surface to the collection space.
