  • Patent number: 10466708
    Abstract: A method for controlling a walk of a robot and robot are provided. The method includes: controlling the robot to walk along walls of a room to obtain a structure and size of the room; dividing an area of the room into a plurality of regular sweeping areas and a plurality of irregular sweeping areas according to the structure and size of the room; controlling the robot to sweep the plurality of regular sweeping areas in a clip shaped sweeping walk mode; and controlling the robot to sweep each irregular sweeping area according to a size of each irregular sweeping area after sweeping the plurality of regular sweeping areas. The robot cleans the regular cleaning areas and the irregular cleaning areas separately, thus increasing a cleaning coverage rate, and effectively improving cleaning performance and user experiences.
