Abstract: A robot is described herein for robotic cleaning and navigation strategies. The robot may be sized or dimensioned for maneuvering for cleaning, disinfecting, or otherwise improving a physical environment (e.g., living spaces, office spaces, or the like), especially those having narrow or varied spaces created by obstacles within the physical environment. The cleaning robot as described herein provide solutions for overcoming problems that arise from cleaning target areas or environments that have typically been difficult for conventional robots to navigate and cover sufficiently for cleaning or otherwise coverage purposes. A novel navigation strategy is implemented comprising a chevron pattern comprising a plurality of segments, which provides for improved coverage, and, therefore, cleaning by a robot within a given environment.

The cleaning robot as described herein provide solutions for overcoming problems that arise from cleaning target areas or environments that have typically been hard for conventional robots to clean, fit, and/or maneuver within, such as a hallway or alley cleaning area or space.

Abstract: A robot is described herein comprising high fidelity sensor control (e.g., via joystick or other data rich sensors) for robotic cleaning and navigation strategies. The robot may be sized or dimensioned for maneuvering for cleaning, disinfecting, or otherwise improving a physical environment (e.g., living spaces, office spaces, or the like), especially those having narrow or varied spaces created by obstacles within the physical environment.

Abstract: Examples include a consumer product comprising a detergent product and a container, the container comprising a data processing apparatus. The container comprises a first chamber defining a first volume, the first chamber containing the detergent product, the first chamber being accessible through an opening. A lock permits opening or closing of the first chamber. A data processing apparatus comprises a processor, a power source connected to the processor, a sensor connected to the processor and a memory connected to the processor, the sensor being configured to sense the opening or closing of the first chamber by the lock to produce output lock data, the processor being configured to receive the lock data from the sensor.
