Abstract: The invention relates to a self-propelled and self-steering floor cleaning apparatus comprising: a running gear for traveling on the floor surface; at least one cleaning device for cleaning the floor surface; a control device; and a sensor device, the control device being formed and configured to locate or navigate the floor cleaning apparatus in an environment depending on at least one signal from the sensor device, the sensor device comprising, on a front side of the floor cleaning apparatus with respect to its forward direction, a first distance measuring unit which is configured as or comprises a stereo camera system and a second distance measuring unit which is configured as or comprises a scanning unit with structured light, wherein viewing areas of the first distance measuring unit and of the second distance measuring unit are directed in the forward direction of the floor cleaning apparatus and overlap, and wherein the second distance measuring unit is located above the first distance measuring unit o

Abstract: The invention relates to a floor cleaning system comprising: a self-propelled and self-steering floor cleaning apparatus for cleaning a floor surface; at least one controllable display unit; and at least one storage unit, wherein the floor cleaning apparatus comprises a running gear for traveling on a floor surface, a control unit, a sensor unit, at least one cleaning unit and an operating unit, wherein surroundings can be detected by means of the sensor unit in order to locate and/or navigate the floor cleaning apparatus, in particular during movement, wherein at least one cleaning path on the floor surface can be stored or is stored in the at least one storage unit, wherein the floor cleaning apparatus is designed and configured to create a cleaning path, which can be stored in the storage unit, in a teaching mode of operation while being guided by an operator at the operating unit, and wherein at least one cleaning event relating in particular to the at least one cleaning unit, and/or at least one interact

Abstract: The invention relates to a self-propelled and self-steering floor cleaning apparatus comprising at least one functional unit and a control unit for controlling at least one functional unit, wherein the at least one functional unit comprises a running gear for traveling on a floor surface, at least one cleaning tool for cleaning the floor surface and a sensor unit for detecting the surroundings of the floor cleaning apparatus, in particular during movement, and wherein the control unit determines that an obstacle is located on or at the floor surface depending on at least one signal of the sensor unit. In order to provide a floor cleaning apparatus of the type in question which has a higher operational reliability, in accordance with the invention: the control unit classifies the obstacles with respect to persons and objects; and the control unit controls at least one functional unit depending on the classification of a detected obstacle.
