A cleaning robot capable of entering a region under an obstacle and cleaning by reducing a height of a LiDAR sensor, and a control method thereof are provided. The cleaning robot includes a main body, a driving device, a cleaning device, a LiDAR sensor and configured to be raisable and lowerable between a first position and a second position having different heights, a bumper sensor configured to detect a collision between the LiDAR sensor and an obstacle, an obstacle sensor configured to obtain information on an obstacle, and a processor configured to generate a cleaning map based on an output of the LiDAR sensor and an output of the obstacle sensor, and control the sensor driver to adjust a height of the LiDAR sensor based on at least one of the cleaning map, an output of the bumper sensor, or the output of the obstacle sensor.

Cleaning robot and control method thereof

Provided are a cleaning robot for obtaining a map of an indoor space, and an operating method thereof. The cleaning robot may: search the indoor space at a first location of the cleaning robot by using at least one sensor; obtain a grid map including a searched area, which has been searched at the first location, and at least one unsearched area, which has not been searched at the first location; determine, as a travel destination, a first unsearched area among the at least one unsearched area based at least in part on a distance from the first location; obtain area information including at least one of geometry information, structure information, or obstacle information about the first unsearched area while moving the cleaning robot to the determined first unsearched area; and update the grid map by using the obtained area information.

Cleaning robot capable of obtaining map of indoor space and operating method thereof

A robot vacuum cleaner is provided. The robot vacuum cleaner includes a camera, a memory configured to store an artificial intelligence model trained to identify an image from an input image and shape information corresponding to each of a plurality of objects, and a processor configured to control the electronic apparatus by being connected to the camera and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to input an image obtained by the camera to the artificial intelligence model to identify an object included in the image, obtain shape information corresponding to the identified object among the plurality of shape information stored in the memory, and set a traveling path of the robot vacuum cleaner based on the shape information and size information related to the object.

Electronic apparatus and method of controlling thereof

A robot cleaner station includes a cleaner docking portion to which a robot cleaner is docked and including an suction port in communication with a dust collector of the robot cleaner when the robot clear is docked to the cleaner docking portion, a collector including a collection chamber in which dust sucked from the dust collector through the suction port is collected, and a station suction device configured to generate a suction force to suck the dust from the dust collector to the collection chamber, and a connector configured to connect the suction port to the collection chamber. The connector includes a guide portion in communication with the suction port, a suction tube provided in the collection chamber to allow the dust which is guided by the guide portion to be sucked to the collection chamber, and a connection hose configured to connect the guide portion to the suction tube.
