Abstract

A floor type detection system for a floor cleaner, wherein the floor type detection system comprises one or more light emitters, a light sensor configured to detect light having infrared wavelengths in a reference range of 1100nm to 3000nm and output one or more sensor signals indicative of the intensity of the light at a plurality of reference wavelengths within the reference range and one or more processors collectively configured to receive the one or more sensor signals and determine a floor type in dependence on the one or more sensor signals.
