Cleaning apparatus and method of object detection sensor

A cleaning apparatus of an object detection sensor, comprising:

• a navigation terminal configured to acquire surrounding environment information of a vehicle including content of organic matter in an atmosphere of the surrounding environment and an outside temperature from an external server;
• and
• a cleaning unit configured to create a cleaning solution mixture based on the surrounding environment information acquired by the navigation terminal, and to clean a cover installed on the object detection sensor to protect the object detection sensor from foreign matter by spraying the cleaning solution mixture onto the cover,
• wherein:
• the navigation terminal utilizes a navigation system to determine a region on earth where the vehicle is driving;
• and
• the object detection sensor is configured to sense a target object by transmitting a scan signal to the target object and receiving a sensing signal reflected from the target object, and the scan signal and the sensing signal are respectively transmitted and received through the cover.
