Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cleaning robot and a robot system.
  • the invention relates to equipping a cleaning robot with multiple uses.
  • Such a cleaning robot is, for example, from US-2005/0,166,354 A1 known.
  • a cleaning robot is set up to drive automatically or autonomously over a floor area and to clean it in the process.
  • An existing range of cleaning robots includes those with different sensors, different cleaning devices and different control devices that carry out navigation or control of the cleaning robot on the floor surface. In general, however, the equipment of the cleaning robot cannot be changed after purchase and the cleaning robot is limited to its original function of cleaning the floor.
  • the object of the invention is to provide improved technology in order to provide a cleaning robot that can be used more flexibly.
  • the invention solves this problem by means of the subject matter of the independent claims. Subclaims reflect preferred embodiments.
  • a cleaning robot according to the invention for a floor area comprises an electrical energy store; an electric drive device; a sensor for sensing an environment of the cleaning robot; a control device that is set up to control the drive device on the basis of signals from the sensor in such a way that the cleaning robot is moved over the floor surface; and a cleaning device for cleaning a portion of the floor surface; characterized by a recording device for an additional camera, in order to be able to retrofit an additional camera on the cleaning robot, the recording device having a mechanical interface for attaching the additional camera; wherein the mechanical interface is adapted to allow tool-less insertion or removal of the auxiliary camera; an electrical interface for supplying the additional camera with energy from the energy store; and a data technology interface for transmitting image or sound information from the additional camera or control data to the additional camera.
  • the additional camera is preferably not required for controlling the cleaning robot. A user can therefore use the cleaning robot for its original purpose of floor cleaning without restrictions, even without the additional camera.
  • the recording device also offers the possibility of combining the additional camera with the cleaning robot to form an extended household appliance, so that the additional camera can be moved automatically over the floor area of a household together with the cleaning robot while providing recordings of its surroundings.
  • the information of the auxiliary camera can be transmitted to a user or control information from the user to the auxiliary camera.
  • a user can evaluate the image or sound recordings to ensure, for example, that no unauthorized person is in the household while the cleaning robot is in operation.
  • the recordings can be transmitted in real time, or the recordings can be stored and further processed at a later point in time. If the user suspects that there is an irregularity in the household, he can analyze the recordings of the additional camera in order to confirm or refute the suspicion.
  • the use case of the user occasionally monitoring their household is also called "peace of mind".
  • different additional cameras can be used together with the cleaning robot, so that a user can decide on different embodiments of the additional camera independently of the equipment of the cleaning robot. For example, he can choose between a first additional camera with a particularly high resolution, a second additional camera with automatic motion detection and a third additional camera with a night vision device. The user can also swap out multiple auxiliary cameras depending on an upcoming mission if needed.
  • the cleaning robot preferably also includes a wireless communication device, with the control device being set up to receive image or sound information from the additional camera via the data-technical interface and forward it via the communication device.
  • control device can also process the information to be forwarded.
  • This processing can include, for example, compression, automatic motion detection or exposure compensation.
  • the processing can also be carried out by the additional camera.
  • the image or sound information provided via the communication device can be stored, in particular by means of a central entity that can be reached, for example, via the Internet or in a cloud, or forwarded directly to a predetermined device, in particular a mobile device of the user.
  • the control device can also be set up to receive control information via the communication device and to control the additional camera depending on the control information.
  • a user can thus have the option of transmitting control information to the additional camera via the communication device.
  • the control information can influence, for example, a recording control, a single image function, a zoom, a focus, an exposure, a contrast, a data compression, a resolution or an orientation of the additional camera. In this way, the function of the additional camera can be influenced by a remote application or by the remote user.
  • the mechanical interface is set up to allow the additional camera to be inserted or removed without tools.
  • the mechanical interface can be set up in particular in such a way that the electrical interface and/or the data technology interface is established or disconnected when the mechanical interface is established or disconnected. In this way, a simple and user-friendly insertion, removal or replacement of an additional camera on the cleaning robot can be supported.
  • the mechanical interface can ensure that the additional camera is attached to the cleaning robot in a predetermined manner. This can mean that the additional camera is protected against a collision of the cleaning robot with an object, for example, or that a predetermined orientation of the additional camera is maintained.
  • the mechanical interface is preferably designed in such a way that the additional camera can only be used in one way.
  • the mechanical interface has a locking mechanism includes in order to prevent the additional camera from accidentally falling out of the recording device.
  • control device is set up to switch off the electrical interface when the recording device is not connected to the additional camera. It can thereby be ensured that a user, for example, cannot touch the live element of the electrical interface.
  • the electrical interface is preferably designed in such a way that there is no risk of contact when the additional camera is accommodated in the receiving device.
  • control device is set up to determine or scan a type designation of the additional camera via the technical data interface.
  • the type designation may indicate a model or embodiment from which capabilities or operational parameters of the auxiliary camera may be derived.
  • the additional camera provides these parameters directly. For example, a maximum power consumption of the additional camera, a selection of supported image resolutions or recording modes can be provided. The control device can then better control the additional camera depending on the transmitted information or provide the information to an external control device, for example the mobile device of the user.
  • an electrical connection of the electrical or data technology interface includes a spring-loaded contact and a rigid contact.
  • One of the contacts is attached to the cleaning robot and the other to the additional camera, so that the electrical connection can be made safely.
  • the rigid contact can be designed in particular as a printed conductor track on a printed circuit board, as a result of which costs can be saved.
  • the cleaning robot comprises an impact protection, with the recording device being attached behind the impact protection in order not to enlarge the outline of the cleaning robot in the horizontal direction by the additional camera.
  • the recording device is preferably provided at a point on the cleaning robot that allows the additional camera to be recorded with predetermined maximum dimensions in such a way that the additional camera is not mechanically exposed as far as possible. If the additional camera does not protrude beyond the outline of the cleaning robot, the risk of damage, for example if the cleaning robot collides with an object, can be reduced.
  • a robot system comprises the cleaning robot described above and an additional camera which is attached to the recording device of the cleaning robot.
  • the robot system can be easily manufactured by retrofitting the cleaning robot with the auxiliary camera.
  • the robot system can include a further additional camera, with the additional cameras differing in terms of their optical or data-related properties.
  • the two additional cameras can be used alternatively or alternately on the robot system.
  • a large number of additional cameras with different properties are provided. The flexibility of the robot system can thus be further increased in order to be able to process additional applications.
  • the recording device is inclined in such a way that a field of view of the additional camera is directed upwards relative to the floor surface.
  • the inclination of the recording device relative to the floor surface can be based in particular on an inclination of the field of view of the additional camera relative to the recording device.
