    摘要: A cleaning robot including a cleaning module; a traveling module to move the cleaning robot on a surface to be cleaned; a light emission unit; an infrared light sensor; a visible light sensor; and at least one processor configured to execute instructions to control the light emission unit to emit infrared light toward a detection region, control the infrared light sensor to receive the emitted infrared light that is reflected from the detection region, control the visible light sensor to receive visible light reflected from the detection region, determine, based on the reflected visible light and an intensity of the reflected infrared light, whether a liquid object is present in the detection region, control, based on determining that the liquid object is present, the traveling module to move the cleaning robot to avoid the liquid object, and control the cleaning module to clean the surface while the cleaning robot moves.

    摘要: A surface cleaning apparatus includes a controller coupled to a sensor or a set of sensors that collects and transmits data to a remote computing device. The surface cleaning apparatus can use wireless or networking technology with a protocol for wireless communication with the remote computing device. The remote computing device is configured to identify an event at the surface cleaning apparatus and/or a change in the cycle of operation of the surface cleaning apparatus based on the transmitted data. Sensor data can be transmitted from the remote computing device to a different surface cleaning apparatus.
