  • Publication number: 20220031895
    Abstract: An unmanned ground-based hygiene maintenance vehicle, UGV, includes a housing with a base plate, top plate and housing side wall substantially perpendicular to the base plate. Arranged in the housing is at least one wheel drive coupled to at least one wheel in a recess in the base plate. The UGV includes sensors for sensing the environment of the UGV, and a controller for autonomous location and navigation of the UGV based on sensing parameters of the sensors. The UGV includes an articulated robot arm on the top plate of the housing and to support a hygiene maintenance tool. The UGV includes at least one load-receiving element coupled to the housing side wall and extending outwards from the housing side wall, wherein the load-receiving element includes a load support surface for supporting a hygiene maintenance tool supply module with respect to a vertical direction extending transverse to the base plate.
