A patent by the inventors Amaral, Erik (Lexington, MA, US), Burbank, Eric (Bed- ford, MA, US), Ohm, Timothy R. (Grover Beach, CA, US), filed on September 3, 2021, was published online on January 16, 2024, according to news reporting originating from Alexandria, Virginia, by NewsRx correspondents. Patent number 11871888 is assigned to iRobot Corporation (Bedford, Massachusetts, United States). The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the inventors: “An autonomous cleaning robot can navigate across a floor surface and avoid obstacles while vacuuming the floor surface and operating rotatable members carried by the robot to ingest debris from the floor surface. As the robot moves across the floor surface, the robot can rotate the rotatable members, which engage the debris and guide the debris toward a vacuum airflow generated by the robot. The rotatable members and the vacuum airflow can thereby cooperate to allow the robot to ingest debris.” In addition to the background information obtained for this patent, NewsRx journalists also obtained the inventors' summary information for this patent: “A cleaning roller for an autonomous cleaning robot can be rotated during a cleaning operation of the robot such that the roller engages and picks up debris from a floor surface as the robot moves across the floor surface. The roller includes a vane configured to sweep across the floor surface as the roller rotates. The vane can include multiple interconnected portions forming at least one bend. For example, a first portion of the vane can extend in a first direction, and a second portion of the vane attached to the first portion can extend in a second direction different from the first direction.
