  • Patent number: 10513145
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an omnidirectionally moving wheel and a robot using the same, and the omnidirectionally moving wheel comprises: a cylindrical body of which both ends are opened; inner wheels, each of which have at least a part accommodated in the body, and which are respectively fixed at the both open ends of the body so as to rotate around a first rotating axis; an outer wheel provided on the outside of the body and rotating around a second rotating axis, which intersects the first rotating axis, wherein the outermost points of the inner wheels and the outer wheel are formed at the same distance from the center of the body.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9226632
    Abstract: Disclosed are a robot cleaner, a controlling method of the same, and a robot cleaning system. The robot cleaner can perform a cleaning operation with respect to only a user's desired region, in a repeated and concentrated manner. Further, as the robot cleaner runs on a user's desired region in a manual manner, a designated region can be precisely set. Further, as the robot cleaner performs a cleaning operation by setting a user's desired region, only a simple configuration is added to a terminal device such as a remote control unit. Accordingly, additional costs can be reduced, and a malfunction can be prevented.

  • Publication number: 20150223659
    Abstract: A robot cleaner and controlling method thereof are disclosed. Accordingly, a cleaning area is partitioned with reference to a door by recognizing the door and the partitioned cleaning areas can be cleaned in consecutive order. The present invention includes the steps of deriving a door location in a cleaning area through an image information, composing a cleaning map by detecting an obstacle in the cleaning area, creating a room information for distinguishing a plurality of rooms partitioned with reference to the door from each other by having the derived door location reflected in the cleaning map, and performing a cleaning by room units distinguished from each other through the room information.
