The moving device is a disc-shaped robot, and includes a chassis moving mechanism, a support plate and a top plate arranged successively from bottom to top. The disinfection device includes a disinfection assembly and a baffle. The disinfection assembly includes a liquid supply mechanism, a liquid spray mechanism and a fan.

The present disclosure discloses an automated cleaning robot which includes a robot body capable of realizing automatic walking and a mop mechanism provided at a rear end of the robot body. The mop mechanism includes a mount support rotatably connected to the robot body, a rotation component received in and rotatably connected to the mount support, a crawler-type wiping cloth sleeving outside the rotation component, and a lifting mechanism being in transmission connection with the mount support, for driving a rear end of the mount support to ascend or descend relative to a front end of the mount support.

Debris signature-based robotic cleaning device navigation includes operating the robotic cleaning device in a first mode as part of a vacuum cycle, the device including suction ports configurable for different suction power levels and each port having a suction path along which debris entering through the suction port is collected by the device. In the first operating mode the suction ports are operated at a first suction power level. The navigation also includes changing operation of the device to a second mode and in which the suction ports are operated at a greater suction power, measuring a respective amount of debris collected through each suction port, and selecting a direction in which to navigate the robotic cleaning device based on the debris measurements.

An autonomous mobile robot includes a body, a drive supporting the body above a floor surface, a light-propagating plate positioned on the body and having a periphery defining a continuous loop, light sources each being positioned to direct light through a portion of the plate to a portion of the continuous loop, and a controller to selectively operate the light sources to provide a visual indicator of a status or service condition of the autonomous mobile robot. The drive is configured to maneuver the mobile robot about the floor surface.

A system and method for treating a surface of a user’s body part, including: obtaining target surface condition information from a user’s body part surface using one or more condition sensors taken from a group consisting of: an optical sensor and a bio-sensor; classifying the target surface condition information using a machine learning classifier to determine an initial target surface condition classification; obtaining treatment progress information using a combination of motion sensor data and surface condition information from the one or more condition sensors; and classifying the treatment progress information using a machine learning classifier to determine a progress classification for treating the initial target surface condition classification.

The present disclosure relates to a method of controlling a robot cleaner including a pair of rotary plates having lower sides to which mops facing a floor surface are coupled, the robot cleaner being configured to move by rotating the pair of rotary plates, the method including: a region setting step of setting a cleaning region on the floor surface; and a movement step of moving the robot cleaner in the cleaning region, in which the region setting step divides the cleaning region into a plurality of divided regions, and the plurality of divided regions at least partially overlaps one another, such that it is possible to clean an entire cleaning region and repeatedly clean a particular region.

Methods and apparatuses for providing multiple modes of cleaning on a smart robotic cleaner are disclosed. A cleaning mode of rolling brush sweeping and a cleaning mode of vacuuming are provided on the smart robotic cleaner. When different cleaning devices are replaced on the body of the smart robotic cleaner, an electronic control unit in the body may control the smart robotic cleaner to switch between the cleaning modes automatically. A mounting position may be provided in the smart robotic cleaner. A rolling brush assembly and a suction inlet assembly may be detachably mounted on the mounting position, and the rolling brush assembly and the suction inlet assembly may be replaced with each other at the mounting position.

A robotic cleaning device and a method for operating the robotic cleaning device to detect a structure of a surface over which the robotic cleaning device moves. The method includes illuminating the surface with structured vertical light, capturing an image of the surface, detecting at least one luminous section in the captured image, and determining, from an appearance of the at least one luminous section, the structure of the surface.

There is provided a moving robot including a first light source module and a second light source module respectively project a first light section and a second light section, which are vertical light sections, in front of a moving direction, wherein the first light section and the second light section cross with each other at a predetermined distance in front of the moving robot so as to eliminate a detection dead zone between the first light source module and the second light source module in front of the moving robot to avoid collision with an object during operation.

A debris monitoring system includes a receptacle, a first and a second emitter, and a first receiver. The receptacle defines an opening to receive debris into the receptacle. The first and second emitter are each arranged to emit a signal across at least a portion of the opening. The first receiver is proximate to the first emitter to receive reflections of the signal emitted by the first emitter, and the first receiver is disposed toward the opening to receive an unreflected portion of the signal emitted by the second emitter across at least a portion of the opening.
