A controlling method of a cleaning robot is provided. The controlling method includes obtaining lidar data while a lidar sensor rotates multiple times, calculating a reference value which is the average value of distances from a subject according to angles, based on the obtained lidar data, after the reference value is calculated, comparing the obtained lidar data with the reference value, sensing a motion of an object based on a comparison result, and determining that the object is located in a rotation section where the motion has been detected.

Cleaning robot and controlling method thereof

Provided are a driving robot apparatus including a rotatable holder to which a cleaning pad is fixable, a method of controlling the driving robot apparatus, and a computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a computer program. The method of controlling the driving robot apparatus includes rotating the holder with a cleaning pad fixed to the holder; emitting light through an opening in the holder to a surface of the cleaning pad fixed to the holder while the holder is rotating, the surface of the cleaning pad including two or more reflective areas having different light reflectivities from each other; receiving reflected light reflected from the surface of the cleaning pad through the opening in the holder while the holder is rotating; and identifying the cleaning pad based on the received reflected light.

Driving robot apparatus, control method of the driving robot apparatus, and recording medium having recorded thereon computer program

A cleaning robot is provided. The cleaning robot includes a body, a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) module having a LiDAR sensor rotatably supported by the body, a light-emitting display module mounted on the LiDAR module, wherein the light-emitting display module is configured to display an image based on an afterimage effect according to a rotation of the LiDAR module.

Cleaning robot

A cleaning robot and a method of controlling the same, the cleaning robot performing docking by detecting light emitted from a docking station using a Lidar sensor or a light receiving element separately provided on a printed circuit board (PCB) of the Lidar sensor, and performing docking based on the number of light emitting elements of the docking station identified according to the detected light are provided. The cleaning robot includes a main body, a drive unit configured to move the main body, a Lidar sensor including a Lidar optical transmitter, a Lidar optical receiver, and the PCB to which the Lidar optical transmitter and the Lidar optical receiver are fixed and provided to be rotatable, a docking optical receiver fixed to the PCB and configured to receive light emitted from the docking optical transmitter of the docking station, and at least one processor is configured to control the drive unit to be docked on the docking station based on light received by the docking optical receiver.

A robot cleaner is provided. The robot cleaner includes a three-dimensional image sensor, an optical sensor, a gyro sensor, and at least one processor configured to control a driving state of the robot cleaner based on image data acquired by the three-dimensional image sensor, optical data acquired by the optical sensor, and angular velocity data acquired by the gyro sensor, wherein the three-dimensional image sensor and the optical sensor are respectively arranged to be tilted by a predetermined tilting angle, and a tilting angle of the three-dimensional image sensor is smaller than a tilting angle of the optical sensor.
