A bumper device of a robot cleaner, and a robot cleaner equipped with the
bumper device are disclosed. The bumper device of a robot cleaner
includes: a bumper housing coupled to cover an outer circumferential
surface of a main body of a robot cleaner, made of a material for
restraining an expansion, and having an internal passage; an air tube
insertedly installed inside the bumper housing so as to be expandable
along the internal passage; and a sensing unit for sensing expansion of
the air tube. Even if an impact is applied to any position of front, side
and rear surfaces of the main body, it can be lessened in its transfer to
the robot cleaner.
