ROBOT CLEANER SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to a robot cleaner system and a control method thereof. The robot cleaner system comprises a robot cleaner including a steam generation unit for generating steam and conducting steam cleaning while driving in a cleaning region; and a docking station including a water supply unit for supplying water to the steam generation unit and able to have the robot cleaner docked thereto. The volume of a water tank installed on the robot cleaner is reduced because the steam generation unit generates steam by heating water received from the water supply unit and accordingly the robot cleaner repeatedly receives water used for generating steam from the docking station. Therefore, the present invention can realize the slim design of the robot cleaner and can reduce the power consumption of a battery by reducing the whole volume and weight of the robot cleaner.
