Abstract: An automatic cleaning robot is provided. The distance sensor is used to measure a plurality of pitches distances Y(t) between the automatic cleaner and a wall at a plurality of different time points t. And a control module is used to calculate a plurality of travel distances X(t) of the travelling device at the plurality of different time points t. According to the pitches distances Y(t) and the travel distances X(t), a deviation angle A between the travelling direction of the automatic cleaner and the extending direction of the wall is obtained.
