Disclosed is a robot cleaner which adjusts a suction area of air suctioned into a suction port through a shutter and a shutter driving device configured to operate the shutter, so that a flow rate of air is adjusted, thus more effectively suctioning dust in the air by using a fan motor having a fixed capacity.

A moving robot and a control method thereof according to the present invention create a cleaning map including information on a travelable area of a cleaning area based on obstacle information, create a create a manufactured user map by changing forms and outlines by area with respect to a plurality of area configuring the cleaning map, and create a user map having a form similar to that of the cleaning are in a real indoor space by changing a form and an outline of a map including information on the travelable area according to an arear, so that a user easily recognizes a position of each area to input a cleaning command through the map, and a cleaning command with respect to an area which the moving robot cannot run is prevented from being input. Since the moving robot does not unnecessarily move an area, operation power consumption is reduced. The moving robot may run a cleaning area with limited power to efficiently clean the cleaning area.

A system and method for operating a personal grooming/household appliance, including: providing a personal grooming/household appliance including at least one physical sensor taken from a group consisting of: an orientation sensor, an acceleration sensor, an inertial sensor, a global positioning sensor, a pressure sensor, and a load sensor, audio sensor, humidity sensor, and a temperature sensor; providing a camera associated with the personal grooming/household appliance; classifying data received from the physical sensor and from the camera using at least one trained machine learning classifier to generate an augmented classification; and providing user feedback information based upon the augmented classification or modifying operation of the grooming/household appliance based upon the augmented classification.

A cleaning robot is provided. The cleaning robot includes a motion device configured to move the cleaning robot in an environment, and an exterior housing. The cleaning robot also includes a motion sensor configured to obtain parameters relating to a motion of the cleaning robot, and a storage device configured to store data including at least one of the one or more images or the one or more motion parameters. The cleaning robot also includes a camera configured to capture one or more images of the environment. The camera is disposed internal to a slant surface located at a front end of the exterior housing and is pivotable relative to the slant surface. The slant surface inclines upwardly with respect to a forward moving direction. The camera and the slant surface face substantially a same direction. A direction of the camera and the forward moving direction form an acute angle.

A vertical surface cleaning device comprising a main body, a cleaning arm, a cleaning head, and leg mechanisms with grippers. The cleaning head applies a cleaning fluid on a surface to carry out a cleaning operation. A waste collector is provided to collect a waste material arising from the cleaning operation. The grippers may remain in a grip or in a release state. The segments of the leg mechanisms are articulatable to configure a first group of the leg mechanisms to stably hold the main body at a first place with the grippers remaining in the grip state. A second group of the leg mechanisms move in a desired direction with their grippers in release state while the first group stably holds the main body. The first group of the leg mechanisms then moves in the same direction while the second group holds the main body at a second place.

The present disclosure relates to an autonomous cleaning robot. The autonomous cleaning robot may include a main body (1) and a cleaning assembly. The cleaning assembly is mounted on the main body (1). The cleaning assembly may include a first cleaning subassembly (2) removable and provided on the main body (1). The first cleaning subassembly (2) is moved in the forward direction or the backward direction of the main body (1) when the first cleaning subassembly (2) is loaded or removed from the main body (1). The first cleaning subassembly (2) is removable and connected to the main body (1) through a connecting member.

A computer-implemented method includes receiving data regarding an area to be cleaned, the data comprising data regarding movement of people or machines through the area to be cleaned; training a machine learning cleaning model based on the data; creating a floor cleaning plan using the machine learning cleaning model, the floor cleaning plan identifying a cleaning time to minimize a likelihood of a robotic cleaning device encountering a person or a machine while cleaning; and transmitting the floor cleaning plan to a robotic cleaning device

A mobile robot is configured to move a main body and rotate a cleaning cloth by means of a motor to clean a surface. A location change of the main body is analyzed to determine a traveling state of the robot. The absence of the cleaning cloth is detected and the operation of the robot is controlled based on the detected travelling state. A user is notified about the absence of the cleaning cloth.

The present disclosure provides a robot, a control method for robot and a storage medium, the robot includes a memory, a processor and a computer program stored on the memory and running on the processor, and when the processor executes the computer program to obtain, material information of a working surface and determine, a target running speed of the robot according to the material information, and control the robot to run at the target running speed. The robot provided by the present disclosure controls the operating speed according to the material information of the working surface, and the robot can clean at different speeds for different materials when cleaning. If the detected material of the working surface is a material that is not easy to clean, you can set the speed to a low speed mode accordingly.

Provided are dynamic region division and region passage identification methods and a cleaning robot. The dynamic region division method includes: acquiring environment information collected by a robot when working in a first region; determining whether the robot has completed a work task in the first region, when a presence of a passage entering a second region is determined based on the environment information; and complementing a boundary at the passage to block the passage, when the work task is not completed. According to the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, the occurrence probability of repeated sweeping and miss sweeping is reduced, and the cleaning efficiency is high. In addition, the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application relies on the environment information collected during the work, rather than relying on historical map data, so that the environmental adaptability is high.
