PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an autonomous cleaning apparatus capable of controlling an operational mode, moving pattern or action that the unit agilely detects a collision with debris on a floor, or an object to be cleaned, and so responds to the detected debris that the unit operates upon "dirtier" areas. SOLUTION: The autonomous cleaning apparatus includes a drive system for moving the unit, a brush assembly for sweeping up the debris on the floor toward a cleaning route of the unit, a debris sensor for detecting the collision with the debris swept up by the brush assembly to generate a debris signal and a controller in response to the debris signal to control the drive system. The debris sensor inside the cleaning route is placed on a line extending in a direction that the debris are swept up by the brush assembly. COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
