Abstract

The present invention relates to a detection method for a robot using an artificial neural network and an apparatus therefor. The present embodiments provide a particle classification apparatus and a cleaning robot, wherein in the process of suctioning dust, particles collide with the robot due to the rotation of a brush, a difference occurs in the amount of instantaneous variance in posture sensing data of the robot depending on the strength of force with which the particles collide with the robot, and the particle classification apparatus classifies the type of suctioned particles on the basis of a model trained with these posture sensing data. In addition, the present embodiments provide a collision detection apparatus and a mobile robot, wherein the collision detection apparatus, without using a mechanical bumper sensor, detects whether the robot collides on the basis of a model trained with wheel control commands and data processed from wheel movement results according to the wheel control commands.

Abstract

A cooking device (1) in particular with at least one furniture-front element (201) for integrating in a furniture front (50), with a main body (2) comprising an upper side (3), a cooking space (4) and an air-outlet opening (5) for letting out air and/or vapours from the main body (2), wherein the air-outlet opening (5) is assigned a directing device (6) and wherein the directing device (6) can be moved between a substantially open position (7) and a substantially closed position (8). The air-outlet opening (5) is arranged on the upper side (3) of the main body (2) and the directing device (6) is suitable and designed such that, when it is in the open position, it directs outflowing air and/or outflowing vapours from the air-outlet opening (5) substantially forwards. The built-in cooking appliance system (300) comprises such a cooking device (1) with a furniture-front element (201) and a furniture front (50), wherein the furniture front (50) is partly arranged substantially flush over the furniture-front element (201), wherein the furniture front (50) and the furniture-front element (201) are partly arranged horizontally at a distance from one another, such that at least outflowing air and/or outflowing vapours from the air-outlet opening (5) can be directed in front of the furniture front (50) by means of the directing device (6). The domestic system (400) for integrating in a furniture front (50) comprises two built-in furniture elements (410, 420), which are partly arranged one above the other in the form of a lower domestic appliance (410) with a lower main body (412) and of an upper built-in furniture element (420) with an upper main body (422). The lower built-in furniture element (410) is provided by a cooking device (1) according to the invention.

Abstract

The invention relates to a cooking device (1), in particular a steam cooking device (100) that comprises a device main part (2), which has a cooking chamber (3) and an opening (4) for filling the cooking chamber (3), and a door device (5) for closing the opening (4), said door device comprising an edge section (6). The opening (4) is provided on the upper face (7) of the device main part (2). The door device (5) is received on the device main part (2) by means of a joint device (8) and can be moved between a closed position (9) and an open position (10). A joint device (8) has a pivot axis (11), and an edge section (6) facing the pivot axis (11) provides a drip section (12). The joint device (8) is suitable for and designed to allow a movement of the door device (5) between the closed position (9) and the open position (10) via a translational movement and a rotational movement of the door device (5), wherein the drip section (12) can be moved laterally closer to the opening (4) by means of the translational movement. In the method for opening such a cooking device (1), the following steps are carried out at least partly simultaneously and/or in a suitable order: moving the door device in a translational manner, whereby the drip section (12) is moved laterally closer to the opening (4); and moving the door device (5) in a rotational manner about the pivot axis (11).
