Abstract
A low profile cleaning device is disclosed. The device has a low profile or height and can clean beneath structures that have a low clearance relative to the floor.

A low profile cleaning device comprising:
- a frame having a front frame member and a rear frame member, wherein ends of the front frame member and ends of the rear frame member are connected by side frame members;
- a cleaning component mounted to the front frame member and positioned such that a distal end of the cleaning component is configured to come into contact with a floor;
- a motor configured to drive the low profile cleaning device.
A low profile cleaning device comprising:
- a frame including a front frame member and a rear frame member connected by at least one side frame member;
- components mounted on an interior of the frame, the components including a motor, gears, and a battery that provides power to the motor;
- wheels mounted to the frame, wherein the motor drives the wheels using the gears;
- a first cleaning component mounted to the front frame member and configured to sweep a floor;
