    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a moving apparatus for cleaning, a collaborative cleaning system, and a method of controlling the same, the moving apparatus for cleaning including: a cleaner configured to perform cleaning; a traveler configured to move the moving apparatus; a communicator configured to communicate with an external apparatus; and a processor configured to identify an individual cleaning region corresponding to the moving apparatus among a plurality of individual cleaning regions assigned to the moving apparatus and at least one different moving apparatus based on current locations throughout a whole cleaning region, based on information received through the communicator, and control the traveler and the cleaner to travel and clean the identified individual cleaning region. Thus, the individual cleaning regions are assigned based on the location information about the plurality of cleaning robots, and a collaborative clean is efficiently carried out with a total shortened cleaning time.

    Abstract: A cleaning robot for detecting a floor while moving around and a method of controlling the cleaning robot are provided. The method includes identifying, by the cleaning robot, a fibrous floor area through a floor detection sensor while the cleaning robot moves around on a cleaning area, determining, by the cleaning robot, based on at least one of a size of the fibrous floor area or a location of the fibrous floor area on a map of the cleaning area, whether the fibrous floor area is a defecation pad area, and causing, based on determining that the fibrous floor area is the defecation pad area, the cleaning robot to move around while avoiding the fibrous floor area.

    Abstract: A robot cleaner for generating accurate travelling records regardless of floor material is provided. The robot cleaner includes a main body, a drive wheel installed on the main body, a drive motor configured to rotate the drive wheel, a travelling sensor configured to detect rotation of the drive wheel, a first optical sensor configured to detect an obstacle located in a moving direction of the main body, a cleaning tool configured to clean a floor, a second optical sensor configured to acquire an image of the floor, and a processor electrically connected to the drive motor, the travelling sensor, the first optical sensor, and the second optical sensor. The processor is configured to control a memory to store a movement record of the main body based on an output of the travelling sensor and an output of the second optical sensor, calculate a distance moved by the main body based on an output of the second optical sensor in response to detection of an obstacle, and control a cleaning tool to clean a floor in the vicinity of the obstacle in response to the distance travelled by the main body that is calculated as being greater than a threshold distance.
