Abstract

A cleaning robot is provided. The cleaning robot includes a motion device configured to move the cleaning robot in an environment, and an exterior housing. The cleaning robot also includes a motion sensor configured to obtain parameters relating to a motion of the cleaning robot, and a storage device configured to store data including at least one of the one or more images or the one or more motion parameters. The cleaning robot also includes a camera configured to capture one or more images of the environment. The camera is disposed internal to a slant surface located at a front end of the exterior housing and is pivotable relative to the slant surface. The slant surface inclines upwardly with respect to a forward moving direction. The camera and the slant surface face substantially a same direction. A direction of the camera and the forward moving direction form an acute angle.
