Abstract: Provided are a cleaning robot and a control method thereof. A control method of a cleaning robot using a rotational force of a plurality of rotation members as a motive power source for its driving, includes: driving the cleaning robot by rotating at least one of a first rotation member performing a rotational motion around a first rotation axis and a second rotation member performing a rotational motion around a second rotation axis; determining whether the cleaning robot reaches a wall surface during its driving; and driving the cleaning robot along the wall surface by rotating at least one of the first and second rotation members while maintaining one side surface of the cleaning robot to be in close contact with the wall surface when it is determined that the cleaning robot reaches the wall surface.

Abstract: Provided are a cleaning robot and a control method thereof. The control method of the cleaning robot including a first rotation member and a second rotation member each performing a rotational motion around a first rotation axis and a second rotation axis according to the present disclosure includes: obtaining acceleration of the cleaning robot and at least one of rotational loads and rotational speeds of the respective first and second rotation members, during driving of the cleaning robot; determining whether the obtained acceleration is abnormal and whether at least one of the obtained rotational loads or at least one of the obtained rotational speeds is abnormal; and determining that an obstacle is detected when the acceleration is determined to be abnormal and at least one of the rotational loads or at least one of the rotational speeds is determined to be abnormal.

Abstract: Provided herein is a robot cleaner. The robot cleaner includes a main body, a driving unit provided in the main body and supplying power for traveling of the robot cleaner, first and second rotary members respectively rotating about first and second rotational axes based on power from the driving unit to provide a movement power source for traveling of the robot cleaner, and allowing cleaners for wet cleaning to respectively be fixed thereto, and a controller determining a cleaning traveling pattern of the robot cleaner and controlling the driving unit such that the robot cleaner travels, while sequentially repeating forward movement and backward movement according to the determined cleaning traveling pattern.

Abstract: Provided herein is a robot cleaner. The robot cleaner includes a main body, a driving unit provided in the main body and supplying power for traveling of the robot cleaner, first and second rotary members respectively rotating about first and second rotational axes based on power from the driving unit and allowing cleaners for wet cleaning to be fixed thereto, a sensing unit sensing whether a traveling position of the robot cleaner is below an obstacle, and a controller controlling, when it is determined that the traveling position of the robot cleaner is below the obstacle on the basis of a sensing signal from the sensing unit, the driving unit such that the robot cleaner avoids a lower side of the obstacle.

Abstract: A method for controlling a robot cleaner includes: a step of controlling at least one of a first rotation member and a second rotation member to rotate depending on a traveling mode to travel the robot cleaner in a specific proceeding direction; a step of identifying whether or not an obstacle is detected from a sensor; and a step of setting a reference surface depending on the obstacle and controlling the first rotation member and the second rotation member to perform a wall movement pattern along the reference surface, in the case in which the obstacle is continuously detected.

Abstract: Provided herein is a dust measuring apparatus. The dust measuring apparatus includes: a body; a window unit exposed to the outside through an opening part of the body, such that dust present in the outside is gathered on the window unit; a light emitting unit emitting light to the window unit; a light receiving unit receiving light reflected from the window unit; and a controlling unit measuring an amount of dust gathered on the window unit on the basis of strength of the emitted light and strength of the received light.
