By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-A patent by the inventors Haverkamp, M atthew (Kentwood, MI, US), Johnson, Steven M. (Hudsonville, MI, US), VanTongeren, Todd R. (Ada, MI, US), filed on December 19, 2022, was published online on Feb ruary 20, 2024, according to news reporting originating from Alexandria, Virgini a, by NewsRx correspondents. Patent number 11903541 is assigned to BISSELL Inc. (Grand Rapids, Michigan, Unit ed States). The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: "Autonomous or robotic floor cleaners can move w ithout the assistance of a user or operator to clean a floor surface. For exampl e, the floor cleaner can be configured to vacuum or sweep dirt (including dust, hair, and other debris) into a collection bin carried on the floor cleaner. The floor cleaner can move randomly about a surface while cleaning the floor surface or use a mapping/navigation system for guided navigation about the surface. Som e floor cleaners are further configured to apply and extract liquid for wet clea ning of bare floors, carpets, rugs, and other floor surfaces. "Such floor cleaners include a drive system with one or more drive wheels for dr iving the floor cleaner across a surface to be cleaned. Hair and other dirt tend to become caught around the drive wheels, and over time can build up and preven t the drive wheels from functioning properly. A user must manually remove the bu ildup around the drive wheels, which is time consuming and undesirable. With wet cleaning robots, this problem is compounded by the hair and debris being wet, w hich makes the buildup harder to remove."
