<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mobile robot cleaner, which is designed so that an escape state of the mobile robot cleaner is detected using various sensors, and the robot is turned off upon determination of an escape-impossible situation. <P>SOLUTION: The mobile robot cleaner for cleaning a floor surface having optional size and shape includes: a moving means for moving the mobile robot cleaner on the floor surface; a collision sensor for detecting an obstacle to which the mobile robot cleaner contacts or approaches during movement of the mobile robot cleaner; a cliff sensor for detecting a cliff; and a controller for controlling the moving means based on output signals from the collision sensor and the cliff sensor. The controller stops the movement of the mobile robot cleaner by the moving means when the cliff sensor detects the cliff for more than a predetermined time. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
