Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to Public place cleaning robot.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
It can be difficult to keep large or complicated locations clean, such houses, businesses, hospitals, and industrial sites. This is because maintaining cleanliness often involves a lot of manual labor, time, and resources. The human labor component of traditional cleaning techniques is very important, yet it can be uneven and ineffective, especially when it comes to coverage and condition adaptation. Manual cleaning involves challenges including missed spots, inadequate cleaning in dirty areas, and health concerns from allergies and contaminants exposures. It is extremely difficult to navigate through obstacles in congested areas without impacting routine operations and equipment.
The WiFi-connected cleaning robot incorporates modern sensors and an autonomous navigation system to perform automated cleaning duties. It ensures an extensive and consistent clean by constantly evaluating environmental conditions and implementing real-time modifications. Since it has its WiFi connectivity, the robot can perform various kinds of duties and respond promptly to emergencies. Its technology acknowledges and avoids obstructions, minimizing the danger of collisions and assuring safe operation close to individuals and machinery. This eliminates the inconsistencies of manual labor and delivers more effective cleaning coverage. The robot increases efficiency and frees up human resources to work on more important tasks by automating mundane cleaning chores, maximizing productivity all around. Its inbuilt HEPA filtration system also contributes to a healthier atmosphere by enhancing air quality by removing allergens and tiny particles.

US20200217057A1- Apparatus and associated methods relate to an autonomous modular bathroom facility configured to detect a bathroom user exited the bathroom, determine no user remains in the bathroom, lock the door, and automatically clean the bathroom. In an illustrative example, automatic cleaning may be triggered in response to detecting a user unlocked and exited the bathroom. The bathroom facility may lock the door and initiate the cleaning process based on determining the bathroom is not occupied. For example, some embodiments may determine the bathroom is unoccupied when a user exits the bathroom without another entering, based on bathroom occupancy determined as a function of a sensor. The sensor may include, for example, one or more weight, movement, heat, or other type sensor. The door may be locked when the bathroom is unoccupied, for example, permitting the bathroom to be safely cleaned. Various embodiment autonomous modular bathroom facilities may include hardware appliance components adapted to perform parts of an exemplary cleaning process. In some embodiment implementations, each appliance may be configured with a controller governing the appliance operation. In a preferred embodiment, software connects the hardware components of the cleaning process together in a specific way with a central online information hub, to facilitate the cleaning process. Various examples may advantageously improve bathroom cleanliness with reduced effort, based on safely and automatically cleaning the bathroom on demand.
