Abstract: Disclosed herein is a cleaning robot capable of allowing a driving apparatus to move along a cleaning apparatus when the cleaning apparatus is separated from the driving apparatus, and a controlling method thereof. In addition, a cleaning robot having a driving apparatus capable of storing a position from which a cleaning apparatus is separated when the cleaning apparatus is separated from the driving apparatus, and capable of moving to the stored position when the cleaning apparatus is mounted to the driving apparatus, and a controlling method thereof. The cleaning robot includes a driving apparatus provided with a mounting groove configured to allow a cleaning apparatus to be removably mounted, and the cleaning apparatus removably mounted to the mounting groove. When the cleaning apparatus is separated from the mounting groove, the driving apparatus stores a position of the driving apparatus upon the separation of the cleaning apparatus and when the cleaning apparatus is mounted to the mounting groove, the driving apparatus moves to the stored position.

Abstract: A sensor module and a robot cleaner including the sensor module may provide accurate sensing of an obstacle and prevent an erroneous sensing of an obstacle. The robot cleaner may include a body including a cleaning unit to remove foreign substances from a surface of a floor, a cover to cover an upper portion of the body, a sensor module including an obstacle sensor mounted to sense an obstacle, and a sensor window provided at one side of the sensor module. The sensor module may include a light emitting device to emit light through the sensor window, a light receiving reflector on which light reflected from the obstacle is incident, and a light shielding portion interposed between the light emitting device and the light receiving reflector to block the light emitted from the light emitting device from being incident upon the light receiving reflector.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a main body, a cleaning tool assembly connected to the main body to be movable in at least one axial direction, a handle part connected to the main body and configured to receive an applied force of a user, a detection part provided in the handle part and configured to detect a magnitude and a direction of the force applied to the handle part, and a control part configured to control the movement direction of the cleaning tool assembly based on the detected direction of the force and to control the movement distance of the cleaning tool assembly based on the detected magnitude of the force. In this way, the steering performance may be improved by reducing a horizontal load felt by a user when the user holds and moves the handle of the cleaner, fatigue felt when performing the cleaning operation may be removed by removing a vertical load applied by the handle, and convenience may be improved.

Abstract: A robot cleaner includes a body to travel on a floor, an obstacle sensing unit to sense an obstacle approaching the body, an auxiliary cleaning unit mounted to a bottom of the body, to be extendable and retractable, and a control unit to control extension or retraction of the auxiliary cleaning unit when the obstacle is sensed. The control unit recognizes a zone of a charger and performs a control operation to prevent the auxiliary cleaning unit from extending in the charger zone.
