    摘要: A vacuum cleaner for performing autonomous driving may include: a main body; a driving unit; a suctioning unit; a plurality of sensors for sensing obstacles present in each direction; and a control unit for controlling the driving unit to move the main body on the basis of a preset driving pattern. The control unit uses sensors provided at the front side of the main body and a first side of the both sides of the main body so as to detect whether entry into a corner area among cleaning areas is made while driving along the preset driving pattern, and controls the driving unit such that the first side of the main body comes into contact with a first wall forming the corner area at least one time when the main body enters the corner area.

    摘要: A method for operating a robotic device. Usage data and a first location of the robotic device are determined. A first sensor of the robotic device captures first data indicative of an environmental characteristic of the first location. A first operational parameter of a first actuator is adjusted based on the first data while the robotic device is at the first location. A debris map of the environment is formed based on debris data output by a second sensor configured to sense debris on a floor. A request for cleaning service at a location is received, wherein the robotic device is one of a plurality of robotic devices that provides surface cleaning services to a plurality of users. The robotic device to respond to the request is determined based on location, fill volume of a debris container, battery charge, and availability of each of the plurality of robotic devices.
