Test and evaluation for the autonomous multi-zone navigation coverage test in IEC 62885-7

Abstract

The definition of a cleaning robot is an automatic floor cleaner that operates autonomously without human intervention in a defined area. The definition of a household cleaning robot is a cleaning robot that only removes non-liquid materials from the floor using methods other than using a solution or a liquid. Currently, IEC TC59 SC59F WG5 is working to establish standards for the performance evaluation of such household cleaning robots. And in 2014, IEC 62929, the standard for household cleaning robots, was released. IEC 62929 is a standard that includes a test item for evaluating the suction power and autonomous driving performance of a cleaning robot. IEC 62885-7 is the second edition of IEC 62929, with additional test items being discussed. In this paper, in order to evaluate the performance of home cleaning robots, I propose the test results and the method for improving the test performance of the autonomous evaluation items.
