Abstract
Provided is a robot, including: a main brush; a peripheral brush; a first actuator; a first sensor; one or more processors; and memory storing instructions that when executed by at least some of the one or more processors effectuate operations including: determining a first location of the robot; obtaining first data indicative of an environmental characteristic of the first location; adjusting a first operational parameter of the first actuator based on the sensed first data; and forming or updating a debris map of the working environment based on data output by the first sensor or another sensor configured to collect data indicative of an existence of debris on a floor, wherein the debris map at least indicates areas covered by the robot and with a high level of debris accumulation; and an application of a communication device paired with the robot and configured to at least display the debris map.
