Abstract: A cleaning apparatus and a method of executing a cleaning operation are provided. The cleaning apparatus includes a sensor including a plurality of sensors, a memory configured to store at least one instruction, and a processor configured to execute the at least one instruction to control the cleaning apparatus. The processor is further configured to determine properties of a pollutant on a movement path of the cleaning apparatus by using the sensor, determine a cleaning operation of removing the pollutant, based on the determined properties of the pollutant, and execute the determined cleaning operation.

Abstract: A robotic cleaning apparatus for performing a cleaning operation and a method of cleaning a cleaning space therefor are provided. The method includes acquiring contamination data indicating a contamination level of the cleaning space, acquiring contamination map data based on the contamination data, determining at least one cleaning target area in the cleaning space, based on a current time and the contamination map data, and cleaning the determined at least one cleaning target area. The method and apparatus may relate to artificial intelligence (AI) systems for mimicking functions of human brains, e.g., cognition and decision, by using a machine learning algorithm such as deep learning, and applications thereof.
