Abstract
A robotic cleaner executing operations such as capturing data indicative of locations of objects in a workspace through which the robot moves; generating or updating a map of at least a part of the workspace based on at least the data; and navigating based on the map or an updated map of the workspace. The robotic cleaner may include a side brush with a main body with at least one attachment point and at least one bundle of bristles attached to the at least one attachment point of the main body, wherein the bristles are between 50 to 90 millimeters in length and positioned between 5 to 30 degrees with respect to a horizontal plane.
Claims20
A system for cleaning a workspace by a robot, comprising:
- a robot, comprising:
- at least one side brush;
- at least one sensor;
- a processor;
- and
- memory storing instructions that when executed by the processor effectuates operations comprising:
- capturing, with the at least one sensor, data indicative of locations of objects in a workspace through which the robot moves;
- generating or updating, with the processor, a map of at least a part of the workspace based on at least the data;
- and
- navigating, with the processor, the robot based on the map or an updated map of the workspace;
- and
- a software application executed on a user computing device paired with the robot configured to:
- display the map, a status of the robot, a battery level of the robot, and progress statistics of a robotic operation in execution by the robot;
- and
- receive at least one input designating a modification, a deletion, or an addition of a boundary;
- a subarea of the workspace;
- and a name for the subarea of the workspace.
