[0040] In addition, the features, operations or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any appropriate manner to form various implementations. At the same time, the steps or actions in the method description can also be interchanged or adjusted in a manner that is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various sequences in the specification and the drawings are only for the purpose of clearly describing a certain embodiment and are not meant to be a required sequence, unless otherwise specified that a certain sequence must be followed.

[0043] In the present application, the household mobile device may be any movable device, for example, the household mobile device may be a mobile bearing platform, on which household items may be placed, such as air purifiers, humidifiers, aromatherapy devices, etc., and may also be items that may be passed around the home, such as medicines and water cups commonly used by users, or platforms or cabinets for accommodating them. The household items may be placed on the household mobile device in various ways, such as fixed setting, integral connection, detachable connection, or non-connected placement.

[0044] When the cleaning robot recognizes a household mobile device, the cleaning robot can dock with the household mobile device and drive the household mobile device to move, thereby facilitating the transportation of household items. When the cleaning robot recognizes a base station, the cleaning robot can dock with the base station to perform corresponding operations (dust collection, charging, water change).
