VACUUM CLEANER HAVING ABILITIES FOR AUTOMATIC MOVING AND POSTURE CONTROL, AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention discloses a vacuum cleaner including a main body (1 ) of the vacuum cleaner, a wheel (2) rotatably mounted at the body, a driving unit for driving the wheel (2), a sensor (71 ) positioned at the main body, for sensing an inclined direction of the main body (1 ), and a control unit for controlling the driving unit according to the inclined direction of the main body (1 ) sensed by the sensor (71 ). In this configuration, the posture of the main body (1 ) of the vacuum cleaner can be controlled according to the inverted pendulum control theory. Therefore, the main body (1 ) of the vacuum cleaner can maintain the posture thereof not to fall down.
