Robot for detecting floor while moving and control method thereof

A cleaning robot comprising:

• a driving circuit;
• a floor detection sensor;
• memory storing one or more computer programs;
• and
• one or more processors communicatively coupled to the driving circuit, the floor detection sensor, and the memory,
• wherein the one or more computer programs include computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the cleaning robot to:
• identify a fibrous floor area through the floor detection sensor while the cleaning robot moves around on a cleaning area,
• determine whether the fibrous floor area is a defecation pad area based on at least one of a size of the fibrous floor area or a location of the fibrous floor area on a map of the cleaning area, and
• control, based on an identification that the fibrous floor area is the defecation pad area, the driving circuit to cause the cleaning robot to move around while avoiding the fibrous floor area.
