Sweeping robot, control method thereof and storage medium

Abstract

The invention discloses a sweeping robot, a control method thereof and a storage medium. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring an echo signal acquired by an ultrasonic module on the sweeping robot, and determining that the ground material is a carpet based on the echo signal; acquiring a current pose of the sweeping robot; and when it is determined that the current pose of the sweeping robot meets a preset condition, sweeping is performed according to a preset cleaning mode. According to the control method of the sweeping robot, the carpet can be quickly and accurately recognized, sweeping is carried out according to the preset cleaning mode when the conditions are met, and the problem that the user experience is affected due to detection lag is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of robots, and in particular, to a sweeping robot, a control method thereof, and a storage medium. Background technique [0002] Nowadays, sweeping robots have gradually entered the home environment, which can sweep, mop and clean the floor instead of humans, greatly reducing the burden of household cleaning tasks. In the related art, the technology of the sweeping robot to identify the carpet is divided into two categories: the first type is based on the motor current collection technology, that is, when the sweeping robot moves to the carpet, the load corresponding to the current of the roller brush, side sweep, and left and right wheel motors will increase. , based on the magnitude of the passing current, it can be judged whether the robot is on the carpet, but the disadvantage of this solution is that the detection of the carpet by the motor current such as the roller brush has a detection lag, a...

Problems solved by technology

In related technologies, the carpet-recognition technology of sweeping robots is divided into two categories: the first category is based on the motor current collection technology, that is, when the sweeping robot moves to the carpet, the load corresponding to the motor current of the roller brush, side sweep, and left and right wheels will increase. , it can be judged whether the robot is on the carpet based on the magnitude of the passing current, but the disadvantage of this solution is that there is a detection hysteresis in detecting the carpet through the motor current such as the roller brush, and the detection of the motor will be inaccurate after the hair is wrapped. In addition, due to the The method requires the sweeping robot to recognize the carpet when it is moving and cleaning on the carpet, so the sweeping robot will wet the carpet during the mopping process, resulting in low cleaning efficiency and technical problems that affect customer experience

This solution requires the sweeping robot to complete a complete cleaning before it can recognize the entire carpet, and it is easy to push the carpet to move when the carpet is small. It can be seen that there is also a technical problem that the detection of the carpet by this method is lagging and affects the user experience.
