Abstract: An autonomous sweeper is provided, including a sweeper module, and a robot chassis having a length along a pair of sides, a front side, a back side and a top side that define an interior space. The sweeper module is configured to fit within the interior space when the robot chassis moves over the sweeper module. A pair of wheels is disposed proximate to the back side of the robot chassis and a single wheel is disposed proximate to the front side. A pair of scissor lifts is disposed along said pair of sides. A lift frame including alignment pegs that fit into corresponding alignment holes is disposed on the top side of the sweeper module. The lift frame is raised and lowered by said pair of scissor lifts, and said scissor lifts assist in lifting the sweeper module while aligning said sweeper module to the robot chassis using said alignment pegs and alignment holes.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a distance measurement method and device, a robot and a storage medium. The method comprises: acquiring a first image, where the first image at least comprises a to-be-detected object and a ground on which the to-be-detected object is located; determining an initial constraint condition of the ground based on the first image; acquiring a second image, where the second image at least comprises an intersection line of a line structured light beam with the ground and/or with the to-be-detected object; determining a position parameter of the ground based on the second image, and correcting the initial constraint condition of the ground based on the position parameter; and determining a distance to the to-be-detected object based on the corrected initial constraint condition of the ground and the first image.

Abstract: A cleaning route determination apparatus includes a calculation condition inputter that receives a calculation condition including information regarding an inside of a facility, an analyzer that analyzes, on a basis of the calculation condition, behavior of airflow and particles inside the facility, a map generator that generates, on a basis of a result of the analysis, a dust accumulation map indicating dust accumulation areas inside the facility and one or more dust amounts corresponding to the dust accumulation areas, a classifier that selects, on the basis of a certain condition, clusters from among clusters inside the facility, and a route calculator that determines a first route from second routes. Each of the second routes is a route for a cleaner to pass through, within a certain period of time, at least one dust accumulation area included in the clusters selected from among the clusters.

Abstract: A pool-cleaning robot is provided, comprising: a robot body with a moving mechanism controlled to move the robot body forward or backward; wherein the robot body has a weight difference between its left and right sides; the moving mechanism includes a driver to drive the moving mechanism unilaterally; the robot body is provided with a fluid inlet-outlet, at least one first fluid inlet, and at least one first fluid outlet, which are communicated with each other. The fluid inlet-outlet is provided with a fluid driver that applies a suction force to the first fluid inlet or a discharge force to the first fluid outlet; a controller in the robot body, connected to and controlling the operation of the moving mechanism and the fluid driver; when the robot body is on a floor or walls of a pool, combinations of discharge forces, suction forces and weight differences steer the robot.

Abstract: A system and method of obstacle and cliff detection for an autonomous or a semi-autonomous cleaning device utilizing a calibration health monitor and occupancy grid filters. A calibration health monitor is used for monitoring and making minor adjustments to camera calibration over time. An occupancy grid filter is a 3D occupancy grid for probabilistically observing obstacles with 3d sensors that are susceptible to noise or other inaccuracies.
