A robot cleaner is disclosed. The robot cleaner robot cleaner includes a sensor, a driver, at least one memory storing instructions, and at least one processor. The robot cleaner identifies a door pad attached to a door by using the sensor when the door of a region in which the robot cleaner is positioned is in an opened state, controls the driver to move the robot cleaner to come into contact with the door pad, and controls the driver to rotate the robot cleaner while the robot cleaner is in contact with the door pad to allow the door to be rotated.
Claims20
A robot cleaner comprising:
- a sensor;
- a driver;
- at least one memory storing instructions;
- and
- at least one processor,
- wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the robot cleaner to:
- identify a door pad attached to a door by using the sensor when the door of a region in which the robot cleaner is positioned is in an opened state;
- control the driver to move the robot cleaner to come into contact with the door pad;
- and
- control the driver to rotate the robot cleaner while the robot cleaner is in contact with the door pad to allow the door to be rotated.
A cleaning method for a robot cleaner comprising a sensor, the cleaning method comprising:
- identifying a door pad attached to a door by using the sensor when the door of a region in which the robot cleaner is positioned is in an opened state;
- moving the robot cleaner to come into contact with the door pad;
- and
- rotating the robot cleaner while the robot cleaner is in contact with the door pad to allow the door to be rotated.
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing computer instructions that cause a robot cleaner to perform an operation when executed by at least one processor of the robot cleaner, wherein the operation comprises;
- identifying a door pad attached to a door by using a sensor of the robot cleaner when the door of a region in which the robot cleaner is positioned is in an opened state;
- moving the robot cleaner to come into contact with the door pad;
- and
- rotating the robot cleaner while the robot cleaner is in contact with the door pad to allow the door to be rotated.
