  • Publication number: 20240049935
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the technical field of intelligent home, and provides a cleaning robot escape method, a cleaning robot escape device, a computer-readable storage medium, and an electronic apparatus. The cleaning robot escape method includes: detecting, when the cleaning robot encounters an obstacle while cleaning along an edge of a first surface medium region and turns around, a second surface medium region in response to a surface medium change signal from the surface medium sensor, and determining whether a path allowing the cleaning robot to bypass the second surface medium region exists; controlling, if the path exists, the cleaning robot to travel along the path to avoid the second surface medium region; and ignoring, if the path does not exist, the surface medium change signal from the surface medium sensor, and controlling the cleaning robot to turn around and return along an original path.

  • Publication number: 20240012420
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting an unknown obstacle, and a medium and an electronic device. During a moving process of a autonomous mobile robot, if an obstacle of an unknown type is detected within a distance from which detection cannot be performed, the autonomous mobile robot moves away from the obstacle to be within an effective detection distance, and then navigation is performed by means of an effective detection result.
