  • Publication number: 20240090721
    Abstract: A robotic cleaner includes a housing, a suction conduit with an opening, and a leading roller mounted in front of a brush roll. An inter-roller air passageway may be defined between the leading roller and the brush roll wherein the lower portion of the leading roller is exposed to a flow path to the suction conduit and an upper portion of the leading roller is outside of the flow path. Optionally, a combing unit includes a plurality of combing protrusions extending into the leading roller and having leading edges not aligned with a center of the leading roller. Optionally, a sealing strip is located along a rear side of the opening and along a portion of left and right sides of the opening. The underside may define side edge vacuum passageways extending from the sides of the housing partially between the leading roller and the sealing strip towards the opening.

  • Patent number: 10192549
    Abstract: An electronic device can receive user input via voice or text that includes tasks to be performed. A digital personal assistant infrastructure service can control to which registered action provider the task is assigned. Per-task action provider preferences can be stored. If a preferred action provider is not able to complete the task, the task can still be performed by a registered action provider that has appropriate capabilities. Machine learning can determine a user's preferences. Resource conservation and effective user interaction can result.
