Abstract
A cleaning robot includes a user interface to display a map image including one or more divided regions, and the user interface displays an icon corresponding to a state value of a main device on the map image.
Claims22
A cleaning robot comprising:
- a body;
- a wheel assembly configured to move the body;
- a brush unit configured to perform cleaning on a bottom surface of a moving path;
- a communicator configured to communicate with a remote device;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- determine a virtual region based on a user input received through the remote device, and
- control the wheel assembly and the brush unit to clean a region excluding the virtual region among a cleanable region.
5 more elements
A remote device comprising:
- a communicator configured to communicate with a cleaning robot;
- a user interface configured to:
- display a map image of a cleanable region, and
- receive input from a user;
- and
- a controller configured to control the communicator to transmit information about a virtual region to the cleaning robot in response to receiving the input for the virtual region restricting cleaning of the cleaning robot in the map image.
3 more elements
A cleaning robot control system comprising:
- a cleaning robot;
- and
- a remote device configured to receive input from a user and communicate with the cleaning robot,
- wherein the cleaning robot is configured to:
- determine a virtual region based on input received through the remote device, and
- clean a region excluding the virtual region among a cleanable region.

A cleaning robot comprising:
- a body;
- a wheel assembly configured to move the body;
- a brush unit configured to perform cleaning on a bottom surface of a moving path;
- a communicator configured to communicate with a remote device;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- generate a map corresponding to a cleanable area;
- transmit, via the communicator, the map to the remote device;
- receiving, from the remote device, a user input on the map corresponding to the cleanable area;
- based on the user input received via the remote device, identify a virtual region in the map to be excluded during cleaning;
- and
- after the virtual region in the map is identified, control the wheel assembly and the brush unit to perform cleaning with respect to a first portion of the cleanable area without cleaning with respect to a second portion of the cleanable area corresponding to the virtual region of the map.
