Abstract

Method, apparatus, storage medium, and electronic device for controlling rotation of a side brush are provided. The method may include obtaining a working mode of a cleaning apparatus when the cleaning apparatus is working (S 202 ); determining a target rotational speed of the side brush of the cleaning apparatus according to the working mode of the cleaning apparatus and information of an obstacle detected by the cleaning apparatus in an area currently being cleaned (S 204 ); and controlling the side brush of the cleaning apparatus to rotate at the target rotational speed (S 206 ). The problem of low accuracy of controlling the rotational speed of the side brush by the cleaning apparatus in the related art is solved, thereby realizing the effect of improving the accuracy of controlling the rotational speed of the side brush by the cleaning apparatus.
