Cleaning robot and control method thereof

Abstract

The disclosure discloses a cleaning robot and a control method thereof, belonging to the field of robots. The method includes: during the cleaning process, identifying the current area, if the current area is a common area, triggering the edge cleaning mode with the first distance threshold, and if the current area is an area where a predetermined obstacle is located, Entering the obstacle avoidance mode is triggered by the second distance threshold, wherein the first distance threshold is smaller than the second distance threshold; solves the problem that the cleaning robot cannot be charged due to the movement of predetermined obstacles such as charging piles due to collision with the cleaning robot; For different obstacles, different distance thresholds are used to trigger the edge cleaning mode. When the obstacle is a predetermined obstacle, a larger distance threshold is used to trigger, so that the predetermined obstacle will not be moved by the collision.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of robots, in particular to a cleaning robot and a control method thereof. Background technique

[0002] A cleaning robot is a robot that performs cleaning operations while automatically traveling in a certain area to be cleaned without user operation.

[0003] Collision sensing components are usually provided on the periphery of the cleaning robot. When the collision sensing component encounters an obstacle during travel, it will trigger the cleaning robot to go around the obstacle for a week of cleaning, that is, the "edge cleaning" mode. However, in the process of collision between the cleaning robot and the obstacle, if the obstacle is relatively light, it is easy to move the obstacle during the collision process. For example, the obstacle is the charging pile supporting the cleaning robot. If the charging pile is moved multiple times, the cleaning robot may not be able to charge: the charging pile is p...
