Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cleaning robot that performs processing (cleaning) by applying a cleaning fluid to a floor, the robot being capable of performing motor drive and autonomous control.SOLUTION: A cleaning robot includes: a differential drive system; a controller configured in such a manner that it can communicate with the differential drive system, differential-control the robot, and make the robot rotate on the spot; a robot housing having the maximum width along a direction vertical to an advance direction of the robot and having a side end in the maximum width direction; a cleaning head arranged in front of a driving member in the advance direction of the robot, and extending to the side end substantially along the maximum width direction; a driven scrub element extending substantially along the maximum width direction to the position substantially within one centimeter from the side end; and cleaning width determined according to the total robot mass of the robot and regulated by the driven scrub element. The cleaning width is 3 centimeters per total robot mass 1 kilogram.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】床に洗浄液を塗布して処理(清掃)を行う清掃ロボットであって、電動機駆動および自律的制御などが可能な清掃ロボットを提供することを目的とする。【解決手段】 差動駆動システムと、差動駆動システムと通信し、ロボットを差動操縦し、かつロボットをその場で回転させることが可能に構成された制御器と、ロボットの前進方向に垂直な方向に沿った最大幅を有し、最大幅の方向に側端を有するロボット筺体と、ロボットの前進方向において駆動部材の前方に配置され、最大幅の方向に略沿って、側端まで伸びる清掃ヘッドと、最大幅の方向に略沿って、側端から実質的に1センチメートル以内の位置まで伸びる被駆動スクラブ要素と、ロボットの総ロボット質量に応じて決定される、被駆動スクラブ要素によって規定される清掃幅を有し、清掃幅は、総ロボット質量1キログラムにつき3センチメートルである、清掃ロボットが提供される。【選択図】 図2
