  • System and method of a semi-autonomous cleaning apparatus with adjustable cleaning parameters
    Patent number: 12702262
    Abstract: A system and method of a semi-autonomous cleaning apparatus with adjustable cleaning parameters. A floor cleaning system of a semi-autonomous cleaning apparatus adapts the cleaning parameters by way of one or more control systems in order to optimize cleaning performance in the specific context and application of operation. Using sensors, the front or rear sensing modules of the semi-autonomous cleaning apparatus can detect different floor types and adjust the parameters accordingly prior to initiating a cleaning or polishing plan for regular floors and VCT floor finishes. Floor shininess can also be detected by measuring the reflection of a light source (i.e., LED strip) by a camera sensor. Machine learning algorithms can be used to enable floor cleaning or floor polishing.
