ROBOTIC VACUUM CLEANER, CLEANING FUNCTION CONTROL APPARATUS EQUIPPED IN ROBOTIC VACUUM CLEANER, AND MULTI-CHANNEL LIDAR-BASED OBSTACLE DETECTION APPARATUS EQUIPPED IN ROBOTIC VACUUM CLEANER

摘要

The present invention proposes a cleaning function control apparatus and method which determine a state of a floor surface by obtaining information on respective points of a room as 3-dimensional information and control cleaning functions for the room on the basis of the state of the floor surface; and a robotic vacuum cleaner equipped with the same. Furthermore, the present invention proposes a multi-channel LiDAR-based obstacle detection apparatus and method which obtain spatial information on surrounding environments in 3-dimensions by using a multi-channel LiDAR, distinguish walls, obstacles, vertical landscapes, etc. from this 3-dimensional environment information, and operate a collision path avoidance algorithm for increasing the efficiency of a robotic vacuum cleaner while avoiding collisions on the basis of the measured obstacle information; and a robotic vacuum cleaner equipped with the same.
