Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A cleaning robot for sensing and cleaning a floor is provided. The cleaning robot includes a floor sensing sensor positioned in front of the cleaning robot in a driving direction of the cleaning robot, and configured to sense whether a surface to be cleaned is a carpet or a hard floor, a wet cleaning module positioned behind the floor sensing sensor in the driving direction, and configured to lower a pad for cleaning the hard floor, and at least one processor configured to control the wet cleaning module to lift the pad while the cleaning robot is driving on the carpet, control the wet cleaning module to lower the pad based on a reference distance moved in the driving direction after sensing the hard floor through the floor sensing sensor when the cleaning robot moves from the carpet to the hard floor along a driving path.
