FIELD: method and apparatus for detecting position of object at operation of mobile robot, namely robot-vacuum cleaner.
SUBSTANCE: apparatus includes first optical sensor for detecting first zone of bumper 50 of mobile robot and for measuring first value of bumper motion at collision of mobile robot with object; second optical sensor for detecting second zone of bumper and for measuring second value of bumper 50 motion at its collision with object. Apparatus includes microcomputer 30 for generating control signal for controlling motion direction of mobile robot on base of measurements results of first and second motion values; control unit for moving mobile robot according to control signal of microcomputer.
EFFECT: shortened time period of operation preventing robot collision with object due to accurate determining of relative position of object.
