Abstract: An autonomous cleaning robot (e.g., an autonomous vacuum) may clean an environment using a cleaning head that is self-actuated. The cleaning head includes an actuator assembly comprising an actuator configured to control rotation and vertical movement of a cleaning roller, a controller, and a cleaning roller having an elongated cylindrical length connected to the actuator assembly. The cleaning head also includes a computer processor connected to the actuator assembly and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that causes the computer processor to map the environment based on sensor data captured by the autonomous vacuum. The computer processor may determine an optimal height for the cleaning head based on the map and instruct the actuator assembly to adjust the height of the cleaning head.

Abstract: A muffler for an autonomous vacuum includes one or more chambers and one or more noise-absorbing elements for noise reduction of air exhausted into an external environment of the autonomous vacuum. The muffler is coupled to a vacuum stack inclusive of a vacuum motor. The muffler includes a main body, a foam layer, and a sealing plate. The main body includes an inlet for air exhausted by the vacuum motor and forms the one or more chambers fluidically connected to the inlet. The foam layer is disposed within one of the chambers of the main body. The foam layer absorbs sound waves incident on the foam layer. The sealing plate is affixed to the main body and includes an outlet to exhaust air from the chambers to an external environment of the autonomous vacuum.

Abstract: An autonomous vacuum leverages a dual-roller cleaning head, one for dry cleaning and another for wet cleaning. The autonomous vacuum utilizes vacuum force to ingest both dry waste and liquid waste from the cleaning head into the waste bag. The autonomous vacuum further comprises a cleaning head coupled to the vacuum motor, the cleaning head forming a mop roller cavity including a first end and a second end opposite the first end, wherein a mop opening exposes the mop roller cavity to an external environment. The cleaning head comprises a mop motor positioned at the first end of the mop roller cavity and including a driver clutch. The cleaning head further comprises mop roller core having a first end, a second end opposite to the first end, and an outer surface covered with a fabric material, the mop roller comprising a spring clutch positioned at the first end of the mop roller and removably couplable to the driver clutch of the mop motor.

Abstract: An autonomous vacuum implements a semi-waterproof waste bag capable of collecting dry waste from vacuum debris and liquid waste from mopping. The autonomous vacuum leverages a dual-roller cleaning head, one for dry cleaning and another for wet cleaning. The autonomous vacuum utilizes vacuum force to ingest both dry waste and liquid waste from the cleaning head into the semi-waterproof waste bag. The semi-waterproof waste bag includes a non-permeable portion formed of a waterproof material and a permeable portion formed of an air-permeable material. The semi-waterproof waste bag may further include a water-absorbent material, e.g., water-absorbing spherical beads.

Abstract: A waste collection bag may be used by an autonomous cleaning robot (e.g., an autonomous vacuum) to store waste during a plurality of cleaning processes. The waste collection bag comprises a top portion and a bottom portion. The top portion includes an opening for waste to enter the waste collection bag. The top portion is composed of a porous material to filter air through the porous material. The bottom portion is composed of a non-porous material configured to hold liquid waste and includes an absorbent for interacting with liquid waste to form semi-solid waste.
