CLEANING ROBOT AND METHOD OF AUTOMATIC CONTROL OF CLEANING ROBOT Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC A47L11/40 A47L11/24 G05D1/02 

FIELD: automated cleaning technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related to a cleaning robot and a method for automatically controlling such a cleaning robot. The cleaning robot contains: at least one laser-emitting component (120) and at least one image acquisition component (130) provided on the body (110); and a processing component (140) connected to each laser emitting component (120) and each image acquisition component (130), wherein the processing component (140) is used to obtain a target image captured by the image acquisition component (130). When there is a projection image of a laser projected onto a projection point on an obstacle in the target image, contour information of the obstacle is obtained; the obstacle type indicated by the contour information is determined; and the cleaning robot is controlled to clean according to the cleaning mode corresponding to the obstacle type. The cleaning mode includes: operating a side brush on the cleaning robot to clean an inner corner in a specific driving mode when the obstacle is an inner corner type obstacle; the selected mode of movement of the side brush is n reciprocating wiggles, where n is a positive integer; controlling the cleaning robot to clean along an outer corner edge when the obstacle is an outer corner type obstacle; controlling the suction force of the fan on the cleaning robot to increase and/or stop the function of mopping and spraying water when the obstacle type is a carpet edge or a gap.

EFFECT: invention enhances the cleaning ability of the cleaning robot, since the cleaning robot is able to selectively use different cleaning modes depending on different types of obstacles.
