Abstract

A breakpoint continuous mopping method and apparatus for a mopping robot, a medium, and an electronic device, are described. In the present disclosure, if the mopping robot working in a hybrid mode detects that a water tank for supplying water for mopping is short of water at a first breakpoint position, the mopping robot is switched to a mopping mode after the water tank is supplemented with water, and carries out supplementary mopping on an unmopped region including the first breakpoint position. Thus, it is guaranteed that the mopping robot can complete sweeping and mopping tasks.
