Self-propelled working robot
First Claim
1. A self-propelled working robot comprising:
- a traveling assembly having a wheel rotating on a floor;
a first working assembly that performs a first operation with respect to the floor and is detachable from the traveling assembly; and
a second working assembly that performs a second operation with respect to the floor and is detachable from the traveling assembly, wherein either the first working assembly or the second working assembly is selectively mounted on the traveling assembly, each working assembly has a type identification means that enables identification of a type of the working assembly when mounted on the traveling assembly, and the traveling assembly has a driving motor that drives the wheel, a wheel controlling means that controls rotation of the driving motor, a discriminating means that discriminates which of the working assemblies is mounted, based on the type identification means of the mounted working assembly, and a work signal output means that outputs a work signal for actuating the mounted working assembly according to the type of the mounted working assembly in response to a result of a discrimination of the discriminating means.

Abstract
A self-propelled working robot according to the present invention comprises a traveling assembly (1) having a wheel (6) and first and second working assemblies (20, 50) that are detachable from the traveling assembly 81). One of the first and second working assemblies (20, 50) is selectively mounted on the traveling assembly (1). Each working assembly has a type identification means (33) that enables identification of a type of the working assembly. The traveling assembly (1) has a driving motor (5) that drives the wheel (6), a wheel controlling means (41) that controls rotation of the driving motor (5), a discriminating means (38) that discriminates which of the working assemblies is mounted and a work signal output means (39) that outputs a work signal for actuating the working assembly (20, 50) in response to a result of a discrimination.
