1. A cleaning apparatus, the cleaning apparatus comprising:
- a wireless power receiver configured to receive a wireless power from a wireless power transmitter; and
a controller configured to;
control the cleaning apparatus to move autonomously,determine whether an area has been cleaned,control the cleaning apparatus to move to the area in response to the controller determining the area has not been cleaned,determine whether the cleaning apparatus in the area is within a predetermined distance, andcontrol the wireless power receiver to receive the wireless power based on a radio wave reception scheme in response to the controller determining the cleaning apparatus in the area is not within the predetermined distance, and to receive a wireless power based on a magnetic resonance scheme in response to the controller determining the cleaning apparatus in the area is within the predetermined distance.

Abstract
Provided are a wirelessly charged robot cleaner in a robot cleaning system and a controlling method thereof. The wirelessly charged robot may include a target resonator to receive a resonance power through energy-coupling with a source resonator of a wireless power transmitter, a wireless power receiving unit to convert the received resonance power into a rated voltage, and a battery controller to check a remaining capacity of the battery based on a scope of a predetermined area to be cleaned, and to charge, using the rated voltage, the battery based on the remaining capacity of the battery.
