Abstract
From the background information supplied by the inventors, news correspondents obtained the followingquote: “Autonomous mobile robots include autonomous mobile cleaning robots that can autonomouslyperform cleaning tasks within an environment, such as a home. An autonomous cleaning robot can navigateacross a floor surface and avoid obstacles while vacuuming the floor surface and operating rotatablemembers carried by the robot to ingest debris from the floor surface. As the robot moves across the floorsurface, the robot can rotate the rotatable members, which can engage the debris and guide the debristoward a vacuum airflow generated by the robot. The rotatable members and the vacuum airflow canthereby cooperate to allow the robot to ingest debris.”
