Robot cleaner and control method therefor

Abstract

A robot cleaner, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises: an input unit for receiving a user input; a storage unit for storing a plurality of movement patterns and scheduling information for the movement of the robot cleaner; and a control unit for controlling the movement of the robot cleaner according to the user input and changing the movement patterns on the basis of the plurality of movement patterns and the scheduling information, wherein the scheduling information includes sequence information for sequentially changing two or more movement patterns according to predetermined conditions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a robot cleaning machine and a control method thereof, and more particularly, to a robot cleaning machine capable of automatically changing driving modes for cleaning and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the development of industrial technology, various devices are automated. As is well known, a robot cleaner is used as a machine that autonomously travels in an area to be cleaned without the user's operation, sucks foreign matter such as dust from the surface to be cleaned or wipes foreign matter on the surface to be cleaned, thereby Automatically clean the area you want to clean. [0003] Generally, such robot cleaners include vacuum cleaners that use a power source such as electricity and perform cleaning by suction force. [0004] In addition, robot cleaners including such vacuum cleaners have limitations in that they cannot remove foreign matter or stubborn stains adhering to the surfac...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0006] In particular, in the case of the rag cleaning method of a general robot cleaner, the conventional suction vacuum cleaner is directly used in the movement mode and the obstacle avoidance method, etc., so even if it can remove dust scattered on the surface to be cleaned, Dust, etc., but it is not easy to remove foreign matter, etc. fixed on the surface to be cleaned

[0007] In addition, in the case of the mop or cleaner attachment structure of a general robot cleaner, a water supply part is also provided, and the water supply amount changes according to the driving mode of the robot cleaner, but because the driving mode for this purpose is applied mode, problems such as cleaning are performed without sufficient water being supplied to the cleaner
