An example system includes a manipulation device, a sensor device and a control module. The control module may be configured to receive information from the sensor to accurately control movement of the manipulation device. The control module may also mimick functionality of a human arm and hand to allow a user to perform a variety of tasks that the user usually does with his own arms and hands.

A brush assembly for cleaning a toilet includes a handle that comprises an upper section a lower section, and a medial section. The lower section and the medial section are nested in the upper section so that the lower section and the medial section are selectively extensible from the upper section. A scrubber is coupled to a lower end of the lower section and is configured to clean a toilet. A base, which is bowl-shaped, is positioned to partially insert the scrubber. A lid is coupled to and extends from a bottom end of the upper section. The lid is bowl-shaped and complementary the base. A perimeter of the lid is positioned to abut a circumference of the base as the lower section and the medial section are inserted into the upper section. The lid and the base define an interior space that houses the scrubber.

A toilet sanitation aid having a housing for a cleaning product. The housing is adapted to be removably supported on a toilet bowl in a first usage condition. The housing has a cleaning formation and the aid has a handle connector portion arranged to allow selective actuation of the housing for cleaning the toilet bowl using the cleaning formation in a second usage condition. The sanitation aid may be hung on the toilet bowl in the first usage condition and removed for cleaning the toilet bowl in the second condition. The handle may be actuated between usage conditions.

Compositions are provided for dissolvable solid unit dose formulations that can be used with a wand apparatus to clean a toilet surface. The formulations include anionic surfactant, a carbonate or bicarbonate salt, an organic acid, and virgin soap pellets wherein a ratio of the virgin soap pellets to the surfactant is from about 0.5:1 to about 2:1, preferably about 1:1 to about 1.5:1, and most preferably about 1.2:1 to 1.3:1. Compressed compositions retain sufficient hardness to facilitate cleaning a toilet surface but are still able to have a time to breakage when submerged in toilet water of less than 5 minutes to enable easy disposal by flushing with toilet water.

An example system includes a manipulation device configured to be mounted to a sanitation apparatus for storing or disposing human waste. The manipulation device includes a first arm mechanism, a second arm mechanism, a first articulating joint mechanically coupling the first arm mechanism to the second arm mechanism, a grasping mechanism, and a second articulating joint mechanically coupling the second arm mechanism to the grasping mechanism. The system also includes a control module communicatively coupled to the manipulation device and configured to control the manipulation device.
