Control device and control method for cleaner, cleaner, control program for cleaner, and integrated electronic circuit

Abstract

Disclosed is a control device for a cleaner that cleans inside a house, equipped with: a cleaning action database (17) that stores information pertaining to the cleaning actions of a robot arm; a corrective action type determination unit (23) that determines the type of correction for the aforementioned cleaning action; a force detection unit (53) that detects the force of a person's hand (16); and a cleaning action correction unit (20) that corrects the cleaning action according to the force of the person's hand and the correction type while the robot arm is operating.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner control device and control method for generating and demonstrating the cleaning action of a vacuum cleaner for cleaning in the home, a vacuum cleaner, a control program of the vacuum cleaner, and an integrated electronic circuit. Background technique [0002] In recent years, automatic cleaning robots for household use and business use such as buildings have gradually formed products. As a household automatic cleaning robot, a cleaning robot that automatically cleans while confirming a cleaning area based on a signal from a sensor of the automatic cleaning robot is disclosed (see Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2). In addition, for automatic cleaning robots for business use, as automatic cleaning robots for building cleaning, there are cleaning robots that use optical sensors, cameras, etc. to recognize their own positions, and clean the target room or floor without leaving any corners. (Refer to...

Problems solved by technology

[0011] However, in Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, Patent Document 3, and Patent Document 4, the robot moves on its own while cleaning the floor without corners. It cannot handle the situation when the user immediately wants to clean up when dropping food, etc.

[0012] In addition, in Patent Document 5, although markers are used to cope with sudden dirt, it is not possible to clean furniture or gaps in rooms, etc., or to perform cleaning corresponding to the material of the floor surface, or to identify parts with more or less dirt. part and perform very fine cleaning such as sweeping

[0013] In addition, in Patent Document 6, although the moving direction of the vacuum cleaner can be controlled by remote control, it is not possible to intuitively manipulate the control of suction force or the application of force during wiping and cleaning.
