Abstract
A robotic device includes one or more robotic fingers and an attachable wiping tool. The attachable wiping tool includes a wiping component, a container configured to dispense a fluid, and an attachment component coupled to the robotic device. The attachment component is configured to align the one or more robotic fingers with the container such that the one or more robotic fingers, when actuated, engage the container to cause the container to dispense the fluid to the wiping component.

A robotic device, comprising:
- one or more robotic fingers;
- and
- an attachable wiping tool, comprising:
- a wiping component;
- a container configured to dispense a fluid;
- and
- an attachment component coupled to the robotic device, wherein the attachment component is configured to align the one or more robotic fingers with the container such that the one or more robotic fingers, when actuated, engage the container to cause the container to dispense the fluid to the wiping component.

An attachable wiping tool for a robotic device, the attachable wiping tool comprising:
- a wiping component;
- a container configured to dispense a fluid;
- and
- an attachment component configured to couple to the robotic device, wherein the attachment component is configured to align one or more robotic fingers of the robotic device with the container such that the one or more robotic fingers, when actuated, engage the container to cause the container to dispense the fluid to the wiping component.
1 more element
A method, comprising:
- causing one or more robotic fingers of a robotic device to engage a container of an attachable wiping tool which is attached to the robotic device, wherein the attachable wiping tool is attached to the robotic device by an attachment component which aligns the one or more robotic fingers with the container in order to enable the one or more robotic fingers to engage the container to cause the container to dispense a fluid to a wiping component of the attachable wiping tool;
- and
- causing the wiping component of the attachable wiping tool to wipe a surface with the fluid dispensed from the container.
