Abstract
An autonomous mobile device and a control method are disclosed. The autonomous mobile device includes a main body and an imaging device, a detecting device, a light source assembly, and a controller disposed at the main body. The imaging device is configured to acquire image information in a predetermined direction of the main body. The predetermined direction includes an upward direction of the main body. The detecting device is configured to detect obstacle information in the upward direction of the main body. A light outputting direction of the light source assembly includes the upward direction of the main body. The controller is configured to, when the detecting device detects the obstacle within a predetermined distance range in the upward direction of the main body, control the light source assembly to turn on to provide illumination for the imaging device.
