The invention pertains to a system consisting of a first floor treatment apparatus that is exclusively guided manually within an environment by a user and a second floor treatment apparatus that is exclusively operated automatically, wherein the second floor treatment apparatus is designed for orienting and localizing itself within an environment. The first floor treatment apparatus is designed for detecting a movement path of the first floor treatment apparatus during a movement of the first floor treatment apparatus that is manually guided by a user, as well as for transmitting information on the detected movement path to the second floor treatment apparatus by means of wireless communication. The second floor treatment apparatus is designed for receiving the information and for autonomously traveling along the movement path within the environment based on the received information.

An intelligent cleaning device, comprising a device main body, a camera and a fill-in light, wherein the camera is mounted in the device main body and faces an outer side of the device main body; the fill-in light is mounted in the device main body by means of a fill-in light holder and faces the outer side of the device main body; and an irradiation direction of the fill-in light is the same as a photographic direction of the camera, so as to irradiate at least part of an identification region of the camera.

A robot cleaner comprising: a cleaner body including a controller, the cleaner body having a dust container accommodation part formed therein; a wheel unit mounted in the cleaner body, the wheel unit of which driving is controlled by the controller; and a dust container detachably coupled to the dust container accommodation part, wherein a first opening and a second opening are disposed at the same height in an inner wall of the dust container accommodation part, wherein the dust container includes: an entrance and an exit, disposed side by side along the circumference of the dust container, the entrance and the exit, respectively communicating with the first opening and the second opening when the dust container is accommodated in the dust container accommodation part; and a flow separating part extending downwardly inclined along the inner circumference of the dust container.

The present disclosure discloses a mobile robot and a control method thereof. More particularly, when a movement is detected in an area to be cleaned, a mobile robot learns whether the detected movement is a behavior pattern of causing a foreign material or not. The mobile robot performs a suitable cleaning when the movement of causing the foreign material is found or detected later.

In a moving robot and a control method according to the present disclosure, an obstacle is detected using structured light irradiated in a predetermined type of light pattern in a traveling direction while traveling, and a specified operation is performed in response to the obstacle. Moreover, a dangerous obstacle is recognized by extracting changes over time using a plurality of images for an obstacle or a low obstacle that is difficult to determine as detected data, and thus, it is possible to improve accuracy according to the determination of the obstacle, improve a corresponding operation according to the obstacle, minimize the uncleaned area while preventing restraint due to the obstacle, and improve the cleaning performance.

A cleaning control method and device including a cleaning robot are provided. The cleaning robot includes a sweeping member and a mopping member which cooperate with each other, and an operating parameter is obtained. A sweeping area formed in real time by the sweeping member, a mopping area formed in real time by the mopping member and a mopped area formed on a lateral side of the cleaning robot are controlled to meet a first preset relationship according to the operating parameter. The first preset relationship includes that a first distance formed between a boundary of the sweeping area closest to the mopped area and a boundary of the mopped area closest to the sweeping area is greater than or equal to a second distance between a boundary of the mopping area closest to the mopped area and a boundary of the mopped area closest to the mopping area.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a cleaning robot and a control method thereof. The cleaning robot includes: a chassis; a fluid applicator, carried on the chassis and configured to distribute a cleaning fluid on at least part of a cleaning width; a fluid storage apparatus, detachably connected to the chassis, wherein the fluid storage apparatus is in communication with the fluid applicator and configured to apply the cleaning fluid distributed by the fluid applicator to a floor; and a control unit, carried on the chassis and configured to control the fluid applicator to stop distributing the cleaning fluid in a case that a to-be-cleaned area of the floor reaches a preset value.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a cleaning robot and a control method thereof. The cleaning robot includes a chassis; a drive system; an energy storage unit, supported by the chassis and includes at least one charging contact sheet, wherein the charging contact sheet protrudes from a plane of the chassis slightly, and the energy storage unit is configured to be charged according to a predetermined amount in a case that the robot is located at a charging station; and a control system, disposed on a main circuit board inside the cleaning robot and including a non-transitory memory and a processor, wherein the control system is configured to control the energy storage unit to charge according to the predetermined amount based on a to-be-cleaned area and a total power consumption factor.

A cleaning system includes a cleaning vehicle that cleans a predetermined travel route, and a control device. The cleaning vehicle includes a state detection device that detects a state of the travel route, and has a cleaning mode in which the cleaning is performed and a non-cleaning mode in which the cleaning is not performed. The control device executes inspection control for causing the state detection device to detect a state of a pre-set inspection region along the travel route while causing the cleaning vehicle to travel in the non-cleaning mode, specification control for specifying a cleaning required region, where the cleaning needs to be performed in the travel route, based on the state of the inspection region detected in the inspection control, and cleaning control for causing the cleaning vehicle to travel in the cleaning mode in the cleaning required region after the above-mentioned controls end.

An automatic cleaning device includes a mobile platform, a lifting station, a cleaning module, a liquid supplying module, and a collecting module. The mobile platform is configured to automatically move in a target direction on a surface to be cleaned. The lifting station is connected to the mobile platform and configured to move upwards or downwards with respect to the mobile platform. The cleaning module is connected to the lifting station and configured to clean the surface to be cleaned; the liquid supplying module is configured to provide cleaning liquid to the surface to be cleaned; and the collecting module is configured to collect the cleaning liquid. A height of the cleaning module of the automatic cleaning device is adjustable, and the automatic cleaning device has a great cleaning strength and is capable of collecting dirty cleaning liquid, thus, the automatic cleaning device can be applied broadly.
