US 2019/0101926 A1 · AUTONOMOUS MOBILE CLEANING APPARATUS, CLEANING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

Abstract

There is provided an autonomous mobile cleaning apparatus including a controller. The controller obtains information about a first target object having a possibility of putting a main body into a stuck state. After accepting information indicating that the first target object is to be set as a cleaning target object, the controller causes a display to display a first display screen that allows selection of a first movement mode or a second movement mode. The autonomous mobile cleaning apparatus is caused to climb over the first target object in a first process, and caused to clean a first area except for the first target object in a second process. The second process is performed prior to the first process in the first movement mode, and the first process is performed prior to the second process in the second movement mode.
