Self-propelled electric dust collector

Abstract

Provided is a self-propelled electric dust collector (11) capable of easily and accurately guiding to a desired position. The self-propelled electric dust collector (11) is provided with a main body part (21), drive wheels (22), a human body sensor (31), and a travel control unit. The main body part (21) sweeps the ground. The drive wheels (22) allow the main body part (21) to travel on the ground. The human body sensor (31) is arranged on the main body (21) and detects the presence of a person (H). The travel control unit detects the movement of the person (H) on the basis of the result detected by the human body sensor (31), controls the operation of the drive wheels (22) in accordance with the movement of the person (H), and allows the main body part (21) to travel in accordance with the person (H).

Description

[0001] This application is based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2018-21351 (filing date: 2018 / 02 / 08), priority is enjoyed through this application, and the entire content of this application is incorporated by reference to this application. technical field [0002] Embodiment of this invention relates to the self-propelled electric vacuum cleaner which travels on the ground. Background technique [0003] Conventionally, there is known a so-called autonomous driving type cleaning robot that cleans the ground while driving autonomously on the ground as a surface to be cleaned. [0004] Although this electric vacuum cleaner is almost the only home appliance capable of self-propelled (Japanese: self-propelled) indoors, it has conventionally been limited to performing its own position estimation and mapping while avoiding obstacles while driving and cleaning indoors at random, and using technologies such as SLAM (mapping) While cleaning, or performing cleaning at a fixed poin...
