Abstract
A timed cleaning method includes: obtaining a topographic map of a cleaning region, wherein the topographic map identifies an obstacle in the cleaning region; based on the topographic map, determining an unclean region in the cleaning region, wherein the unclean region is occupied by the obstacle; detecting the unclean region according to a preset time interval; and if the obstacle at the unclean region is removed, cleaning the unclean region.
Claims17
A timed cleaning method, implemented by a cleaning robot, comprising:
- obtaining, with one or more sensors mounted on the cleaning robot, a topographic map of a cleaning region, wherein the topographic map identifies an obstacle in the cleaning region;
- based on the topographic map, determining, with a processor of the cleaning robot, an unclean region in the cleaning region, wherein the unclean region is occupied by the obstacle;
- detecting, with the one or more sensors, the unclean region according to a preset time interval;
- responsive to that the obstacle at the unclean region is removed, cleaning, with the cleaning robot, the unclean region;
- determining, with the processor, whether the obstacle is temporary based on a bottom area of the obstacle;
- wherein the detecting, with the one or more sensors, the unclean region according to the preset time interval comprises:
- responsive to that the obstacle is temporary, detecting, with the one or more sensors, the unclean region according to the preset time interval.
A timed cleaning robot, comprising:
- a processor,
- one or more sensors;
- and
- a memory device configured to store a set of instructions executable by the processor,
- wherein the processor is configured, based on the instructions, to:
- control obtaining, with the one or more sensors, a topographic map of a cleaning region, where the topographic map identifies an obstacle in the cleaning region;
- based on the topographic map, determine, with the processor, an unclean region in the cleaning region, wherein the unclean region is occupied by the obstacle;
- control detecting, with the one or more sensors, the unclean region according to a preset time interval;
- responsive to that detecting that the obstacle at the unclean region is removed, control cleaning, with the cleaning robot, the unclean region;
- determine whether the obstacle is temporary according to a bottom area of the obstacle;
- and wherein the detecting, with the one or more sensors, the unclean region according to the preset time interval comprises:
- responsive to that the obstacle is the temporary, detecting, with the one or more sensors, the unclean region according to the preset time interval.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a set of computer program instructions stored thereon, wherein the computer program instructions are executable by a processor to implement a method for performing a timed cleaning method with a cleaning robot, wherein the method comprises:
- obtaining, with one or more sensors mounted on the cleaning robot, a topographic map of a cleaning region, wherein the topographic map identifies an obstacle in the cleaning region;
- according to the topographic map, determining, with the processor, an unclean region in the cleaning region, wherein the unclean region is occupied by the obstacle;
- detecting, with the one or more sensors, the unclean region according to a preset time interval;
- responsive to that the obstacle at the unclean region is removed, cleaning, with the cleaning robot, the unclean region;
- determining, with the processor, whether the obstacle is temporary based on a bottom area of the obstacle;
- wherein the detecting, with the one or more sensors, the unclean region according to the preset time interval comprises:
- responsive to that the obstacle is temporary, detecting, with the one or more sensors, the unclean region according to the preset time interval.
