Abstract
An autonomous surface cleaning device can include a base adapted for movement over a surface to be cleaned, a drive system configured to move the base over the surface to be cleaned, and a vacuum collection system for removing at least debris from the surface to be cleaned. A main controller and a compliance control module can be operably coupled with at least one of the drive system or the vacuum collection system.

1-15. (canceled)
An autonomous surface cleaning device comprising:
- a base adapted for movement over a surface to be cleaned;
- a drive system associated with the base and configured to move the base over the surface to be cleaned;
- a vacuum collection system for removing at least debris from the surface to be cleaned;
- a main controller operably coupled with at least one of the drive system or the vacuum collection system;
- a compliance control module operably coupled with at least one of the drive system or the vacuum collection system;
- and
- a plurality of sensors operably coupled with at least the compliance control module and configured to provide outputs related to components and subsystems of the autonomous surface cleaning device, respectively, to the compliance control module;
- wherein the compliance control module is configured to monitor the outputs from the plurality of sensors and generate an interrupt configured to modify operation of the autonomous surface cleaning device or cease operation of the autonomous surface cleaning device when at least one output satisfies a predetermined threshold.
