Problems solved by technology

However, the use of optical sensors without their own active lighting is disadvantageous due to the need to adequately illuminate the space in which the cleaning robot moves
However, active lighting in the visible spectrum is disadvantageous, as it can cause glare

Embodiment Construction

[0050] Figure 1-4 An embodiment of a floor cleaning robot or cleaning robot 1 is shown. The cleaning robot 1 includes a housing 3 arranged on a running mechanism 5 . The running gear 5 has a drive connected to a plurality of wheels 7 . The wheels 7 are drivable independently of each other about an axis which extends parallel to the surface to be cleaned 8 . In order to change the direction of movement of the cleaning robot 1 , the wheels 7 can be driven at different speeds or directions of rotation. Furthermore, two other wheels 9 are placed in place rotatably about a vertical axis. Here, the vertical axis runs perpendicular to the surface 8 to be cleaned.

[0051] Furthermore, a sweeper 11 is arranged below the housing 3 , facing the first side 12 and protruding beyond the housing 3 in the direction of travel 14 . In this context, the direction of travel 14 of the floor cleaning robot 1 is the direction that runs parallel to the tangent to the path of motion of the floo...

Abstract

A floor-cleaning robot having a chassis for moving the floor-cleaning robot in a direction of travel over a surface to be cleaned, a cleaning implement, a control unit and first and second measuring devices for three-dimensional distance measurement. Each of the first and second measuring devices is configured to sense distance between the measuring device and a plurality of surface elements within a respective solid angle that is spanned from the measuring device. The first and second measuring devices are aligned in such a manner that the direction of travel runs through the first solid angle. The second solid angle is offset in relation to the first solid angle. The control unit is designed to generate and / or update a representation of the surface to be cleaned, on the basis of the distances from surface elements sensed by first and second measuring devices.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a floor-cleaning robot with a housing, which has a running mechanism with a drive device for moving the floor-cleaning robot in the direction of travel over a surface to be cleaned, and also includes a sweeping mechanism for acting on the surface to be cleaned device, a control unit and a first measuring device for stereo ranging, the first measuring device is set up for determining the distance of the first measuring device from a plurality of surface units within a first spatial angle, the first spatial angle is measured from the first The device is defined in that the control unit is set up to guide the floor cleaning robot over the surface to be cleaned by means of a display of the surface to be cleaned and to sweep said surface to be cleaned. Background technique [0002] A floor cleaning robot, also referred to below for short as a cleaning robot or robot, is a floor sweeping machine suitable for automatically moving over...
