A robot cleaner includes: a communication interface configured to operate in an AP mode in which the communication interface outputs a wireless signal corresponding to a wireless signal output value of an AP device; and a processor configured to: control to sequentially move the robot cleaner to measurement locations, output the wireless signal output through the AP mode of communication interface and, with respect to the wireless signal, obtain signal strength information related to a connection strength between the robot cleaner and electronic devices disposed in the space, respectively, at the measurement locations; and based on the signal strength information, identify a measurement location at which a signal strength of the electronic devices is a threshold value or more, as a recommended AP location of the AP device, among the measurement locations.

An apparatus includes a frame, a drive assembly supported by the frame, an electronic system supported by the frame, and a cleaning assembly coupled to the frame. The drive assembly is configured to move the frame along a surface. The cleaning assembly is configured to engage the surface to transfer detritus from the surface to a storage volume supported by the frame. The electronic system has at least a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to define a path along which the drive assembly travels and is configured to redefined a path along which the drive assembly travels based on at least one signal received from at least one sensor.

A robotic vacuum cleaner equipped with a holonomic drive that can drive in a given direction, e.g., north (assigned orientation), and move in a different direction, while maintaining its assigned orientation or that of any desired portion of the robot, such as an intake, or any other portion of the robot that is needed for a particular maneuver. The robotic vacuum cleaner includes a removable, chargeable battery system including a battery pack having batteries and a battery management system extending across all the batteries of the battery pack. A housing, including a top cover, surrounds the battery pack and the battery management system (BMS). The top cover extends over the BMS and includes a circuit board therein. A connector is at least partially connected to the BMS and extends through the housing. The connector is configured to transmit signals between the battery management system and the robotic vacuum cleaner.

An auto clean machine comprising: a chassis; an internal light source, located inside the chassis, for emitting internal light; an external light source, located outside the chassis, for emitting external light; an optical sensor, configured to sense optical data generated according to the external light or according to the internal light; and a control circuit, configured to analyze optical information of the optical data. If the internal light source is activated, the external light source is de-activated and the control circuit determines variation of the optical information is larger than a variation threshold, the control circuit changes the internal light source to be non-activated and the external light source to be activated.

Provided is a movable robot. The movable robot includes a main body provided with a traveling part; at least one through-hole defined in a top surface of the main body, at least one module guide configured to guide an installation position of a service disposed above the main body, and guide supporter rotatably supporting the module guide inside main body. The module guide may rotate between a first position within the main body and a position protruding upward from the main body through the through-hole.

A robot cleaner includes a main body, and a wheel unit including a wheel configured to movably support the main body. The wheel unit is installed in a suspension unit and configured to be movable upward or downward. The suspension unit is configured to absorb impact when the wheel unit moves upward or downward, and is installed in a lifting unit coupled to the main body. The suspension unit is configured to be raised or lowered relative to the lifting unit. The lifting unit includes a lifting drive motor including a rotatable shaft disposed in parallel with a direction in which the suspension unit is configured to be raised or lowered, and a transmission unit configured to transmit a rotation force of the lifting drive motor to the suspension unit.

Provided are a structured light module and an autonomous mobile device. A structured light module comprises a camera module and line laser emitters distributed on two sides of the camera module; the line laser emitters emit line laser outwards; and the camera module collects an environmental image detected by the line laser. By virtue of the advantage of high detection accuracy of the line laser, front environmental information may be detected more accurately. In addition, the line laser emitters are located on two sides of the camera module. This mode occupies a small size, may save more space, and is beneficial to expand an application scenario of a line laser sensor.

Provided is an autonomous mobile robot, includes a cover, a base and a pressure sensor assembly; the cover includes a top plate and a side plate that are integrally arranged, a connecting portion is formed between the top plate and the side plate, and the connecting portion is at least partially higher than the top plate; the base is arranged below the top plate; and the pressure sensor assembly is arranged in a manner of facing the side plate. The impact of the traditional autonomous mobile robot using a floating bump plate on the positioning accuracy of an optical component may be avoided and the reliability of the autonomous mobile robot during the movement is improved.

There is provided a cleaning robot including a light source module and an image sensor. The light source module projects a horizontal line pattern toward a moving direction. The image sensor captures, toward the moving direction, an image of the horizontal line pattern. The light source module is arranged below the image sensor so as to eliminate the interference from second reflection.

A cleaning method and a cleaning robot are provided. The method includes: after the cleaning robot obtains a cleaning instruction for a target scene, acquiring a current power of the cleaning robot and a scene map for the target scene; if it is determined that the current power is insufficient to clean all areas to be cleaned in the target scene, determining a target cleaning area from all the areas to be cleaned in the target scene, based on a target dirtiness level for each of the areas to be cleaned; cleaning the target cleaning area based on the scene map, the target dirtiness level for the target cleaning area and the current power. A more intelligent cleaning robot and a more reasonable cleaning process are realized.
