Path planning for cleaning robots is most challenging because the path should fully cover the operation area while adapting environmental changes and dynamic obstacles. Moebotics provides industry-leading planning algorithms with 5 modes: Teach & Follow, Sketch, Auto Cover, Real-time Auto Cover, and Auto Spot Cleaning. This provides users with the freedom to customize their cleaning plans. They can also divide an environment into smaller regions and select the most suitable path planning mode for each region according to the situation.

Backtracking spiral filling: Like Auto Cover, but the operator does not have to drive the robot for deployment. Instead, they draw a box on the map to specify the cleaning region and the robot will automatically clean all the passable areas inside the region in each operation.

Auto point to point: The robot constantly scans the cleanliness of the nearby floor and automatically performs spot cleaning whenever detecting wastes or stains. By cleaning only where it is needed, it brings up to 4X efficiency improvement and significantly reduces water and power consumption.

Fill-in mode: The operator manually drives the robot around the border of the area for cleaning, and then the robot will automatically generate a zigzag path to fully cover this area in the most efficient way.

Point to point: The operator draws a path by setting a bunch of waypoints on the map, and the robot will move along it.
