Abstract (en)
A robot vacuum cleaner comprising: a main body configured to be driven on a surface and having a suction mouth with a brush roller configured to suck in debris from the surface; a driving wheels and a mop module having a wiping pad wherein the wiping pad is movable sideways.A method for wiping the floor using the robot vacuum cleaner wherein the cleaning route includes: an initial phase when the robot vacuum cleaner goes from a docking station to the starting point, the first working phase when the robot vacuum cleaner goes in first direction and a second working phase when the robot vacuum cleaner goes back in opposite direction wherein the position of the wiping pad depends on the phase of the robot vacuum cleaner cleaning route.The present invention enables a robot vacuum cleaner with a mop function in which the cleaning is more effective thanks to active positioning of the wiping pad. The wiping method provides that the driving wheels does not leave wet tracks on the cleaning surface.
