First Claim
1. A robot cleaner comprising:
- a body to form an external appearance of the robot cleaner; and
a side brush assembly installed at the body,wherein the side brush assembly comprises;
a motor installed at the body;
a rotation shaft coupled to the motor;
a plurality of side brushes coupled to the rotation shaft, the plurality of side brushes including a first side brush fixed to the rotation shaft so as to be rotated and at least one second side brush rotatably coupled with respect to the rotation shaft so as to operate according to rotation of the first side brush; and
a variable member installed between the plurality of side brushes and configured to allow intervals of the first side brush and the at least one second side brush to be changed,wherein the plurality of side brushes interoperate with each other by the variable member such that respective intervals between the plurality of side brushes are increased or decreased according to a rotation direction of the plurality of side brushes.
