This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18126571 titled 'DRIVING ROBOT APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF THE DRIVING ROBOT APPARATUS, AND RECORDING MEDIUM HAVING RECORDED THEREON COMPUTER PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a driving robot apparatus with a rotatable holder for a cleaning pad. - The method of controlling the driving robot apparatus involves rotating the holder with the cleaning pad attached. - Light is emitted through an opening in the holder onto the surface of the cleaning pad while it is rotating. - The surface of the cleaning pad has multiple reflective areas with different light reflectivities. - Reflected light from the surface of the cleaning pad is received through the opening in the holder. - The cleaning pad is identified based on the received reflected light.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided are a driving robot apparatus including a rotatable holder to which a cleaning pad is fixable, a method of controlling the driving robot apparatus, and a computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a computer program. The method of controlling the driving robot apparatus includes rotating the holder with a cleaning pad fixed to the holder; emitting light through an opening in the holder to a surface of the cleaning pad fixed to the holder while the holder is rotating, the surface of the cleaning pad including two or more reflective areas having different light reflectivities from each other; receiving reflected light reflected from the surface of the cleaning pad through the opening in the holder while the holder is rotating; and identifying the cleaning pad based on the received reflected light.
