A method of operating an autonomous cleaning robot includes presenting, on a display of a mobile device, a representation of each of multiple cleaning levels, each cleaning level corresponding to a respective rank overlap parameter for a wet cleaning mission of the autonomous cleaning robot. The method includes receiving, at the mobile device, an input indicative of a selection of one of the cleaning levels; and controlling the autonomous cleaning robot to execute a wet cleaning mission according to the rank overlap parameter corresponding to the selected one of the cleaning levels.

Provided is a robot cleaner. The artificial intelligence robot cleaner includes a traveling driving unit configured to allow the artificial intelligence robot cleaner to travel in an indoor space of a home, a cleaning unit configured to remove pollutants, a sensor configured to acquire data that is used to identify a plurality of members, and a processor configured to control the traveling driving unit and the cleaning unit so as to determine one or more subordinate spaces corresponding to each of the plurality of members among a plurality of subordinate spaces by using the data and a map of the indoor space, determine a return time of some or all of the plurality of members, determine a cleaning priority of the plurality of subordinate spaces based on the return time, and perform cleaning according to the cleaning priority.

The present disclosure provides a surface cleaning apparatus that mechanically removes liquid and debris from a brushroll and stores the mechanically-removed liquid and debris onboard the apparatus in a first collection area. The surface cleaning apparatus also collects further liquid and debris from the brushroll by a source of suction including a vacuum motor or a pump and stores the collected liquid and debris onboard the apparatus in a second collection area.

A cleaning robot includes a machine body, a perception system, a control system, and a driving system; the perception system includes a laser distance sensor and a camera; the laser distance sensor is located on a top surface of the cleaning robot; and the camera is mounted on the cleaning robot through a mounting bracket, and a field of view of the camera includes a traveling direction of the cleaning robot. The camera apparatus is applied to the cleaning robot, and provides good shockproof performance and good stability. In addition, when a distance between optical axes of two cameras changes, the camera can be replaced and calibrated at any time, facilitating maintenance and repair.

The present invention relates to a robot vacuum cleaner comprising sub-wheels having variable rotational positions, the robot vacuum cleaner comprising subframes rotatably attached to main frames to ground the sub-wheels when in a constrained state.

A floor cleaning machine having a cleaning element arrangement with inner and outer cleaning elements that include inner and outer cleaning bodies, respectively, that extend jointly in the cleaning body plane and have first and second receiving openings, respectively. The inner and outer cleaning elements extend from the inner and outer cleaning bodies, respectively, away from the cleaning body plane to one side thereof. The inner cleaning body is arranged in the second receiving opening. The output shaft extends with an output shaft section into both the first and second receiving openings. First and second eccentric elements are attached to the output shaft section and to the inner and outer cleaning bodies, respectively, so that when the output shaft is rotated, the inner and outer cleaning bodies perform eccentric movements that are phase-shifted with respect to one another.

A cleaner includes a body including an insertion slot facing a floor and an installation space inside the body. The cleaner includes a dust housing detachably connected to the body. The dust housing includes a collection opening surface and a storage space that stores foreign substances collected through the collection opening surface. The cleaner has an agitator rotatably connected to the dust housing and exposed through the collection opening surface. The cleaner also includes a driving apparatus that rotates a driving coupler, which drives a driven coupler coupled to the agitator. The cleaner includes a lever located on either the driving coupler or the driven coupler. The lever selectively attaches or separates the driving coupler and the driven coupler. Manipulating the lever separates the driving coupler and the driven coupler and allows the sweep module including the agitator to be removed through the insertion slot in the body.

A surface cleaning machine is provided, including a cleaning head having at least one driven cleaning roller unit, a dirty fluid reservoir device arranged on the cleaning head, and a scraping guide device for dirty fluid that acts on the at least one cleaning roller unit, wherein the dirty fluid reservoir device has a container device for dirty fluid and a cover device for the container device, wherein a duct device for cleaning liquid is arranged on the cover device, and wherein there is arranged on the cover device an orifice device which is fluidically connected to the duct device and by means of which cleaning liquid is applicable to the at least one cleaning roller unit.

An apparatus includes a frame, a drive assembly supported by the frame, an electronic system supported by the frame, and a cleaning assembly coupled to the frame. The drive assembly is configured to move the frame along a surface. The cleaning assembly is configured to engage the surface to transfer detritus from the surface to a storage volume supported by the frame. The electronic system has at least a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to define a path along which the drive assembly travels and is configured to redefined a path along which the drive assembly travels based on at least one signal received from at least one sensor.
