AUTONOMOUS TRAVEL-TYPE CLEANER

摘要

A control unit, upon determining that a corner has been detected in step S2, causes a body to move in a reciprocating manner in step S3, and cleaning of the corner to commence. Furthermore, upon determining that a rubbish detection sensor has not detected any rubbish in step S4, the control unit ends the cleaning of the corner in step S6. Conversely, upon determining in step S4 that rubbish has been detected by the rubbish detection sensor, the control unit causes the body to move in a reciprocating manner in step S5, and to keep cleaning the corner. In other words, there is provided an autonomous travel-type cleaner capable of picking up an appreciable quantity of rubbish that has collected in a corner, due to the reciprocating motion of the body.
