CLEANING ROBOT AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18139124 Titled 'CLEANING ROBOT AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a cleaning robot that has a main body, a motion driver for movement, a pad motor for rotating a pad on the bottom of the robot, and a humidity sensor to detect moisture around the pad. The robot also has a processor that can control the pad motor and motion driver. If the humidity sensor detects that the moisture level is lower than a set reference level while the robot is in use, the processor will stop the pad motor and return the robot to its docking station.


Original Abstract Submitted

A cleaning robot includes: a main body; a motion driver provided in the main body and configured to move the main body; a pad motor provided in the main body and configured to rotate a pad provided on a lower surface of the main body; a humidity sensor provided around the wet cloth pad and configured to detect humidity around the wet cloth pad; and at least one processor configured to control the pad motor to stop rotating the wet cloth pad and control the motion driver to return the cleaning robot to a docking station, in response to determining that current humidity detected by the humidity sensor becomes lower than preset reference humidity while the motion driver and the pad motor are operating.
