1. A robot vacuum cleaner, comprising:
- a driving unit moving a body on a cleaning surface;
a cleaning area detecting unit detecting an area of the cleaning surface; and
a central processing unit calculating a spiral cleaning travel pattern corresponding to a shape of the cleaning area based on information from the cleaning area detecting unit and sending a cleaning travel signal to the driving unit.

Abstract
A robot vacuum cleaner that comprises a driving unit moving a body on a cleaning surface; a cleaning area detecting unit detecting an area of the cleaning surface; and a central processing unit calculating a spiral cleaning travel pattern corresponding to a shape of each cleaning area based on the information detected by the cleaning area detecting unit to output a cleaning travel signal corresponding the calculated cleaning travel pattern to the driving unit. The cleaning travel pattern can be variable applied depending on a shape of each cleaning area such that the coverage ratio of the cleaning area can increase.
