Abstract
A method of assisting user-configuration of hardware for a mobile autonomous cleaning robot can include detecting a flooring type of a room or other portion of an environment. A size of the portion of the environment can be detected and a total size of the environment can be determined. generating a hardware characteristic recommendation can be generated based at least in part on the flooring type, the size of the portion of the environment, and the total size of the environment.
Claims28
A method of assisting user-configuration of hardware for a mobile cleaning robot, the method comprising:
- detecting a flooring type of a portion of an environment;
- detecting a size of the portion of the environment;
- determining a total size of the environment;
- generating a side brush type recommendation based at least in part on the flooring type, the size of the portion of the environment, and the total size of the environment;
- and
- transmitting the side brush type recommendation to a user interface device.
A method of assisting user-configuration of hardware for a mobile cleaning robot, the method comprising:
- detecting a size of a portion of an environment;
- determining a total size of the environment;
- detecting, using a sensor of the mobile cleaning robot, a type of debris within the portion of the environment;
- generating a side brush length recommendation based at least in part on the size of the portion of the environment, the total size of the environment, and the type of the debris within the portion of the environment;
- and
- transmitting the side brush length recommendation to a user interface device.
A method of assisting user-configuration of hardware for a mobile cleaning robot, the method comprising:
- detecting a size of a portion of an environment;
- determining a total size of the environment;
- detecting, using a sensor of the mobile cleaning robot, debris within the portion of the environment;
- generating a cage recommendation based at least in part on the size of the portion of the environment, the total size of the environment, and the detected debris within the portion of the environment;
- and
- transmitting the cage recommendation to a user interface device.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions, for assisting user-configuration of hardware for a mobile cleaning robot, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:
- detect a flooring type of a portion of an environment;
- detect a size of the portion of the environment;
- determine a total size of the environment;
- generate a side brush type recommendation based at least in part on the flooring type, the size of the portion of the environment, and the total size of the environment;
- and
- transmit the side brush type recommendation to a user interface device.
