What is the working principle of the unmanned intelligent floor scrubber?

Unmanned intelligent floor scrubbers integrate multiple key robot technologies such as intelligent indoor navigation and positioning, complex environment recognition, and autonomous path planning to achieve functions such as automatic cruising, intelligent scrubbing, automatic obstacle avoidance, and autonomous charging. Now, unmanned intelligent floor scrubbers use SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology for walking and navigation mapping, and use laser radar and ultrasonic sensors to achieve obstacle avoidance, obstacle bypassing, and fall prevention. To simply summarize the core steps of SLAM, they are perception, positioning, and mapping. Perception - the robot can obtain information about the surrounding environment through sensors; positioning - the current and historical information obtained by the sensor is used to infer its own position and posture; mapping - based on its own posture and the information obtained by the sensor, it depicts the appearance of its environment.

When entering a new environment for the first time, the floor scrubber needs to run a complete circle in the environment. The radar on the body will scan the entire environment, determine the structure and area, and build a map. After the map is built, the user can divide the cleaning area and virtual walls according to the map on the APP, and then set the cleaning route on the map. In addition, the floor scrubber's walking speed, water output, brush pressure, etc. can be set. Each time it is used, the floor scrubber will automatically generate a form to record the usage report.
