Abstract: A sweeping robot includes a housing, at least one laser emitting component, at least one image acquisition component, and a processing component connected with each laser emitting component and each image acquisition component. Each laser emitting component is adapted to project laser in a travel direction. Each image acquisition component is adapted to acquire a target image in the travel direction. The processing component is adapted to acquire the target image collected by the image acquisition component. When there is a projection image of a projection point where the laser is projected onto an obstacle in the target image, a contour information of the obstacle is acquired, a type of the obstacle indicated by the contour information is determined, and the sweeping robot is controlled to clean. Besides, an automatic control method for the sweeping robot is also disclosed.

Abstract: A going back and charging system for a sweeping robot and a method for controlling the same are provided. The system includes: a charging station, configured to emit infrared signals to divide an area in front of the charging station into six different signal regions; six infrared receiving tubes; and a going back and charging control device, configured to control the six infrared receiving tubes to be turned on if the sweeping robot needs to be charged, to control the sweeping robot to walk toward the middle near field region if any one of the six infrared receiving tubes receives an infrared signal emitted from the charging station, and to control the sweeping robot to continue to walk until the sweeping robot docks with the charging station successfully if the fifth infrared receiving tube and the sixth infrared receiving tube receive an infrared signal of the middle near field region.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a sensor assembly for an intelligent robot, an obstacle detection method for an intelligent robot and an intelligent robot. The sensor assembly comprises a first type sensor and a second type sensor. The first type sensor comprises M first transmitting units and N first receiving units, and the M first transmitting units and the N first receiving units are separately disposed at preset angles, M and N being positive integers. The second type sensor comprises a light source and M+N?1 second receiving units. The second receiving units are located between the first transmitting units and the first receiving units.
