ROBOT CLEANER AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING ROBOT CLEANER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17921003 titled 'ROBOT CLEANER AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING ROBOT CLEANER
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a method for controlling a robot cleaner that has two rotary plates with mops attached to their lower sides. The robot cleaner moves by rotating these plates and is designed to clean a floor surface. The method consists of several steps:
- First, the robot cleaner moves forward from a starting point towards a predetermined target point.
- Then, it rotates in a certain direction.
- After the rotation, it moves forward again.
- Finally, it rotates again in a different direction.
These steps allow the robot cleaner to repeatedly clean the floor surface by combining forward movement and rotation.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Household cleaning: The robot cleaner can be used to clean floors in homes, saving time and effort for homeowners.
- Commercial cleaning: This technology can be applied in commercial settings, such as offices or hotels, to automate floor cleaning tasks.
- Industrial cleaning: The robot cleaner can be used in industrial environments, such as factories or warehouses, to maintain cleanliness and hygiene.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Time-saving: The robot cleaner can clean the floor surface without human intervention, allowing users to focus on other tasks.
- Efficiency: The combination of forward movement and rotation ensures thorough cleaning of the floor surface.
- Accessibility: The robot cleaner can reach areas that may be difficult for humans to access, such as under furniture or in tight spaces.
Benefits of this technology:
- Convenience: Users can set the robot cleaner to clean at specific times or intervals, providing a hassle-free cleaning solution.
- Improved hygiene: Regular cleaning with the robot cleaner helps maintain a clean and healthy environment.
- Cost-effective: The robot cleaner eliminates the need for hiring professional cleaners or purchasing expensive cleaning equipment.
Original Abstract Submitted
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 first forward movement step of moving the robot cleaner forward from a starting point toward a predetermined target point; a first rotation step of rotating the robot cleaner; a second forward movement step of moving the robot cleaner forward after the first rotation step; and a second rotation step of rotating the robot cleaner after the second forward movement step, such that the floor surface may be repeatedly cleaned only by the forward movement and the rotation.
