Abstract: A drink maker includes a mixing vessel arranged to receive a drink product and a dasher, driven by a drive motor, that is arranged to mix the drink product within the mixing vessel. A refrigeration circuit is arranged to cool the drink product within the mixing vessel. The refrigeration circuit includes a condenser. A cooling fan is configured to concurrently cool the drive motor and the condenser.

Abstract: A drink maker includes a mixing vessel arranged to receive a drink product and a dasher, driven by a drive motor, arranged to mix the drink product within the mixing vessel. A cooling circuit is arranged to cool the drink product within the mixing vessel, while a temperature sensor is arranged to detect a temperature associated with the drink product and output a temperature signal, and a memory is arranged to store a recipe including a first temperature value corresponding to a first target temperature. A controller, in communication with the memory, is arranged to: i) receive the temperature signal, and ii) control the temperature associated with the drink product by controlling the cooling circuit based on the received temperature signal, the first temperature value, and a manual temperature adjustment. A user interface is arranged to receive a user input to adjust the manual temperature adjustment.

Abstract: A device for making drinks is provided that includes a housing, a mixing vessel, a drive motor, a dasher, a cooling circuit, and a coupling mechanism. The mixing vessel is configured to receive a drink product. The drive motor is positioned in the housing. The dasher is configured to mix the drink product in the mixing vessel and is driven by the drive motor. The mixing vessel has an opening through which the dasher is received in the mixing vessel when the mixing vessel is engaged with the housing. The cooling circuit is at least partly positioned in the housing and is configured to cool the drink product while the drink product is mixed in the mixing vessel. The coupling mechanism is configured to releasably retain the mixing vessel against the housing in the engaged position. The mixing vessel is configured to engage the housing to seal the opening.

Abstract: A robotic cleaner may include one or more driven wheels, one or more environmental sensors, at least one of the one or more environmental sensors configured to detect a first obstacle having a first vertically extending surface, one or more edge cleaning implements, and a controller communicatively coupled to the one or more driven wheels and the one or more environmental sensors. In response to detecting the first obstacle, the controller may be configured to cause the robotic cleaner to move through a rotation angle such that at least one of the one or more edge cleaning implements approaches the first vertically extending surface.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for stain detection and cleaning using robotic cleaners are disclosed. An example robotic cleaning system may include a robotic cleaner. The robotic cleaner may include a housing, at least one wet cleaning element including at least one cleaning surface on an underside of the housing, at least one sensor, and at least one processor. The processor(s) may be programmed or configured to detect at least one stain on a surface to be cleaned based on sensor data from the at least one sensor and perform at least one cleaning operation based on the at least one stain.
