Solution Overview
Problem
Automatic cleaning apparatuses face challenges in efficiently navigating and avoiding getting stuck in different surface medium regions, such as transitioning from one type of floor surface to another, which can lead to reduced efficiency and user experience.
Innovation Solution
The method involves using a surface medium sensor to detect changes in surface medium and controlling the apparatus to leave the region by determining the perpendicular edge based on a map and current position, allowing it to retreat or move forward accordingly, and updating the map after successful navigation.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If the automatic cleaning apparatus continues cleaning in the second surface medium region after detecting a surface medium change signal, then the cleaning coverage is improved, but the apparatus may get stuck and cleaning efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The control system performs preliminary judgment about the apparatus position relative to the second surface medium region boundary before continuing cleaning. When the surface medium sensor detects a change signal and the judgment unit determines the apparatus is in the second region, the system proactively generates a boundary avoidance instruction to prevent getting stuck, rather than waiting for the problem to occur during cleaning execution.
2Productivity
If the automatic cleaning apparatus leaves the second surface medium region immediately upon detection, then the apparatus avoids getting stuck and efficiency is maintained, but the cleaning coverage of the second region is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the cleaning strategy based on real-time sensor feedback and position judgment. When the surface medium sensor detects a change signal, the control system flexibly switches between continuing cleaning (when safe) and generating boundary avoidance instructions (when at risk of getting stuck), optimizing the balance between cleaning coverage and efficiency according to actual operating conditions.
3Measurement precision
If the apparatus uses complex navigation algorithms to determine optimal exit paths from the second surface medium region, then navigation precision is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control system applies different control strategies to different spatial locations. When the apparatus is determined to be in the second surface medium region, a specific boundary avoidance control strategy is applied (generating instructions to leave the region). This localized control approach achieves effective navigation without requiring complex global path planning algorithms throughout the entire cleaning process.
