News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: “Robotic devices are becoming increasingly popular for carr ying out routine tasks, like mopping, vacuuming and cutting grass. However, the majority of these robots still require some human aid in order to operate. Robot ic vacuum cleaners and floor scrubbers, for example, have holding cavities where debris is collected that must be regularly emptied. The emptying of a dustbin i n a robotic vacuum is often cumbersome and imprecise. The motor/impeller unit in robotic vacuum cleaners is sometimes located inside the chassis adjacent to the dustbin or is connected to the dustbin via a duct. These models, however, make access to the motor/impeller for occasional repair or servicing difficult due to their location within the chassis. One solution to this problem is fixing the m otor/impeller directly inside a removable dustbin. This provides better access to the impeller and motor when the dustbin is removed.
