News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors:“BACKGROUND INFORMATION“Surface treatment apparatuses can include robotic cleaners. A robotic cleaner i s configured toautonomously travel about a surface while collecting debris left on the surface. A robotic cleaner can beconfigured to travel along a surface a ccording to a random and/or predetermined path. When travelingalong a surface a ccording to the random path, the robotic cleaner may adjust its travel path in r esponseto encountering one or more obstacles. When traveling along a surface ac cording to a predeterminedpath, the robotic cleaner may have, in prior operatio ns, developed a map of the area to be cleaned andtravel about the area accordin g to a predetermined path based on the map. Regardless of whether therobotic cl eaner is configured to travel according to a random or predetermined path, the r obotic cleanermay be configured to travel in predetermined patterns. For exampl e, a robotic cleaner may be positionedin a location of increased debris and be caused to enter a cleaning pattern that causes the robotic cleanerto remain in the location of increased debris for a predetermined time.”
