  • Publication number: 20070118288
    Abstract: In a self-propelled cleaner 10, after distance data from an ultrasonic ranging-sensor 31 is obtained, a judgment is made as to whether the distance data is below an approaching limit value. If the distance data is below the approaching limit value, travel of a body is stopped. If the distance data is not the approaching limit value, distance data from light ranging-sensors 32R, 32L are obtained. If distance data is below the approaching limit value, and the travel of the body is stopped, so that even if a target is a target which can not be subjected to precise ranging by the ultrasonic ranging-sensor only, it can be subjected to the precise ranging by using the light ranging-sensors. Thus it is possible to increase the number of targets capable of being subjected to the precise ranging and prevent the body from colliding against the obstacle.

  • Publication number: 20070029962
    Abstract: Disclosed is a monitoring device and a self-propelled cleaner including the monitoring device, that track a moving body securely and stably. Within the monitoring device 9, presence of the moving body is detected by a moving body detecting section according to image data imaged by an imaging device 52 as an imaging section. When it is detected, its position is identified by a moving body position identification section, and an area in which the moving body is positioned is determined by an area determining section, within dividing an imaging region concerning the obtained image data into three areas of area A, area B, area C. The imaging device 52 is rotated so that a center line (one among Ca, Cb, Cc) overlaps with position of the moving body. Here, the center line is orthogonal to horizontal direction of the area, where moving body is positioned.

  • Publication number: 20060238374
    Abstract: An autonomous cleaner that can be operated with a remote controller without using a dedicated component such as an antenna that receives a signal from the remote controller is provided. The cleaner main body 1 includes eight infrared sensors 11 for detecting obstacles such as furniture. The remote controller 3 outputs an infrared signal corresponding to the pushed key 31. The reflected light from the obstacle and the infrared signal (remote controller signal) from the remote controller are both received at the infrared sensor 11. The light receiving part of the infrared sensor 11 has a function of receiving the signal by the reflected light from the obstacle and receiving the remote controller signal, which signals are identifiable at a micro-computer 22. The cleaner main body 1 can thus be operated with a remote controller 3 using the infrared sensor 11 without arranging a dedicated component such as an antenna.
