Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the conventional technology described above, the robot cleaner needs to collect characteristic information of a predetermined area while moving in the area to be cleaned.
Therefore, making the movement path takes time
Moreover, it is difficult to efficiently clean the cleaning target area within a limited time

Embodiment approach 1

[0068] Next, the self-propelled cleaning machine according to Embodiment 1 will be specifically described item by item with reference to the drawings.

[0069] [summary]

[0070] First, refer to figure 1 The outline of the self-propelled cleaning machine 100a according to Embodiment 1 will be described.

[0071] figure 1 It is a figure for demonstrating the outline|summary of the self-propelled type cleaning machine 100a concerning Embodiment 1.

[0072] figure 1 Fig. 2 shows an autonomously-propelled cleaning machine 100a that autonomously walks in a cleaning target area (here, inside a building) and cleans a human-occurring area 50a. The human appearance area 50a is an area in which the human appearance rate in the cleaning target area is higher than the threshold value. Specifically, the appearance rate of people is, for example, a total value obtained by counting the number of people detected by the sensor 200 installed in the cleaning target area within a predetermined...

Embodiment approach 2

[0213] Hereinafter, the self-propelled cleaning machine according to Embodiment 2 will be described item by item with reference to the drawings.

[0214] About the self-propelled cleaning machine 100a of Embodiment 1, the method which sets the cleaning intensity of the area where each person appears based on the appearance rate of a person was demonstrated. Then, the area where people appear in the area to be cleaned is cleaned based on the set cleaning intensity.

[0215] On the other hand, the self-propelled cleaning machine of Embodiment 2 differs from Embodiment 1 in that, first, the cleaning intensity set based on the occurrence rate of people is reset in consideration of the past cleaning history. Then, the area where a person appears in the area to be cleaned is cleaned based on the reset cleaning strength.

[0216] Therefore, the following description will focus on differences from Embodiment 1, and common descriptions will be omitted or simplified. That is, the outl...

Embodiment approach 3

[0260] Hereinafter, the self-propelled cleaning machine according to Embodiment 3 will be described item by item with reference to the drawings.

[0261] Regarding the self-propelled cleaning machine 100a according to Embodiment 1, a mode in which a travel route is determined in advance and the cleaning intensity of the area where each person appears is set based on the appearance rate of people has been described. Then, the area where a person appears in the area to be cleaned is cleaned based on the set cleaning strength.

[0262] In addition, regarding the self-propelled cleaning machine 100b according to Embodiment 2, a mode in which a travel route is determined in advance and the cleaning intensity set based on the appearance rate of people is reset in consideration of the past cleaning history has been described. Then, the area where a person appears in the area to be cleaned is cleaned based on the reset cleaning strength.

[0263] On the other hand, the self-propelled...

Abstract

An autonomous walking type cleaning machine (100a) is provided with a main body; a cleaning unit (120) that performs cleaning, sweeping, and dust suction operations on the area to be cleaned; and a drive unit (130) that enables the main body to travel. The cleaning machine is further provided with a person appearance area information acquisition unit (105) that acquires the information on a person appearance area in which the person appearance rate is higher than a threshold value in the cleaning target area; and a control unit (110) that controls the cleaning unit (120) and the drive unit (130) on the basis of a current position information acquisition unit (107) that acquires the information on the current position of the main body, so that the autonomous walking type cleaning machine (100a) cleans a person appearance area in the cleaning target area. As a result, provided is the autonomous walking type cleaning machine (100a) capable of efficiently cleaning a cleaning target area.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a self-propelled cleaning machine that autonomously travels in a predetermined space to perform cleaning operations, a control method and a program for the self-propelled cleaning machine. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there are known self-propelled cleaning machines (hereinafter also referred to as "robot cleaning machines") that perform cleaning operations while autonomously moving in a limited space inside or outside a building (hereinafter referred to as "cleaning target area") (For example, refer to Patent Document 1). The self-propelled cleaning machine creates a movement path from its current position to a specific destination based on a pre-stored environmental map (also simply referred to as a "map"), and autonomously moves along the movement path. Such self-propelled cleaning machines are required to perform cleaning operations efficiently. [0003] Regarding the robot cleaner disclosed in P...
