1. A self-moving robot, comprising:
a self-moving module; and
an interchangeable working module connected to the self-moving module,
wherein the self-moving module comprises:
a control unit,
a first energy unit,
a first walking unit, and
a first interface unit,
wherein the control unit executes a predetermined command to control the self-moving robot to operate, and
wherein the first walking unit assists the self-moving module in walking;
wherein the working module comprises:
a first working unit,
a second walking unit, and
a second interface unit,
wherein the first working unit executes a specific type of work, and
wherein the second walking unit assists the working module in walking;
wherein the first interface unit and the second interface unit can be correspondingly matched and connected to connect the working module onto the self-moving module, and the self-moving module further comprises:
a detecting unit that detects the working module and sends a detected result to the control unit;
wherein the control unit judges whether the working module required to be connected is detected according to the detected result, and when the judged result is yes, the control unit controls the first walking unit to walk such that the self-moving module is connected to the working module required to be connected, and
wherein in a working period, the self-moving module carries one or more working modules for working in sequence according to a set time sequence.
