APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR SEMI-AUTONOMOUS CLEANING OF SURFACES

摘要

An apparatus includes a frame, a drive assembly supported by the frame, an electronic system supported by the frame, and a cleaning assembly coupled to the frame. The drive assembly is configured to move the frame along a surface. The cleaning assembly is configured to engage the surface to transfer detritus from the surface to a storage volume supported by the frame. The electronic system has at least a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to define a path along which the drive assembly travels and is configured to redefined a path along which the drive assembly travels based on at least one signal received from at least one sensor.

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a frame; a drive system supported by the frame and configured to move the frame along a surface, the drive system having at least one wheel configured to rotate about a first axis and a second axis non-parallel to the first axis; a cleaning assembly coupled to the frame, the cleaning assembly configured to engage the surface to transfer detritus from the surface to a storage volume supported by the frame; and an electronics system supported by the frame, the electronics system having at least a processor and a memory, the processor configured to execute a set of instructions stored in the memory associated with defining a path, the drive system configured to move the cleaning assembly along the path and the cleaning assembly configured to engage the surface to transfer detritus from the surface to the storage volume, the processor configured to define a redefined path along which the drive system is configured to move the cleaning assembly based on at least one signal associated with the path.
