Patent number: 11510541Abstract: A robotic vacuum cleaner equipped with a holonomic drive that can drive in a given direction, e.g., north (assigned orientation), and move in a different direction, while maintaining its assigned orientation or that of any desired portion of the robot, such as an intake, or any other portion of the robot that is needed for a particular maneuver. The robotic vacuum cleaner includes a removable, chargeable battery system including a battery pack having batteries and a battery management system extending across all the batteries of the battery pack. A housing, including a top cover, surrounds the battery pack and the battery management system (BMS). The top cover extends over the BMS and includes a circuit board therein. A connector is at least partially connected to the BMS and extends through the housing. The connector is configured to transmit signals between the battery management system and the robotic vacuum cleaner.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2018Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Tailos, Inc.Inventors: David Moroniti, Steve Supron, Steven Whitehead, Micah Green

Patent number: 11485174Abstract: A quick release mechanism for a wheel includes a hub and a clip, which interact with a wheel or roller that may or may not be part of the invention per se. The hub is disposable on a drive shaft such that it will rotate with the drive shaft. An optional hub cap is disposable on the wheel and has an opening that is complimentary to the geometry of the hub to allow engagement thereof such that the hub the hub cap rotate together. The clip is disposable on the hub in a closed or an open position so that the hub cap cannot or can be removed from the hub.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2019Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: Tailos, Inc.Inventors: Steve Supron, Steven Whitehead, David Moroniti, Micah Green

Patent number: 11026551Abstract: An independent suspension system for a robot vacuum cleaner with a hinge component attached to an L-shaped bracket having a horizontal flange portion and a vertical flange portion. The vertical flange portion is attached to a wheel assembly of the robot vacuum cleaner and a spring is coupled to the horizontal flange portion. A pin is attached to and extends from the vertical flange portion. A holding component is within a wheel well of the robot vacuum cleaner and is movable between an engaged configuration with the pin and a disengaged configuration with the pin.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2018Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: Maidbot, Inc.Inventors: Steve Supron, Steven Whitehead, David Moroniti, Micah Green
