Abstract:
A method and a set of pool cleaning robots for cleaning a pool. The set includes a first pool cleaning robot and a second pool cleaning robot that differ from each other by at least one unit out of a propulsion unit and a cleaning unit. Each one of the first pool cleaning robot and the second pool cleaning robot includes a filtering unit, a housing, and a controller.
Abstract:
A pool cleaning robot that may include a filtering unit for filtering water that passes through the pool cleaning robot; a sensor for sensing a cleanliness of the filtering unit while submerged in water; a controller that is configured to determine, based on the cleanliness of the filtering unit, a cleaning process to be applied on the pool cleaning robot by an external system; and a communication unit that is configured to transmit information about the cleaning process
Abstract:
A pool cleaning robot that includes a ballast tank for controlling a buoyancy of the submarine pool cleaner; at least one cleaning element for cleaning debris from an underwater surface of a pool while the pool cleaning robot hovers over the underwater surface; a propulsion module that is configured to propel the submersible pool cleaner; and a steering module that comprises a rudder and diving planes.
Abstract:
An external docking station may be provided and may include a filter manipulator that is arranged to (i) input a filter into a pool cleaning robot that exited a pool and is located in a filter replacement position and to (ii) assist in positioning the filter at a filtering position in which the filter is at least partially disposed within a fluid path formed between a first fluid opening and a second fluid opening of the housing thereby allowing the filter to apply a filtering operation on fluid that passes through the fluid path.

Abstract:
A method for charging a pool related platform (PRP), the method may include (i) positioning a first wireless charging element (WCE) of the PRP within a charging range of a second WCE of a charging unit that is movable and is located at a temporary PRP location that is outside an interior of a pool structural element; wherein the positioning comprises moving the first WCE towards the PRP location; and (ii) wirelessly charging, by the second WCE, the first WCE while maintaining the first WCE within the charging range of the second WCE.
Abstract:
A method for cleaning a region of a pool, the method may include moving a pool cleaning robot along a cleaning path that covers the region while acquiring, at first different points of time and by a sensing unit of the pool cleaning robot, first images of first scenes, at least one first scene at each first point of time; wherein the acquiring of the first images is executed while illuminating the first scenes by the pool cleaning robot; detecting, in at least one first image, illumination reflected or scattered as a result of the illuminating of the first scenes; removing from the at least one first image information about the illumination reflected or scattered; determining, based at least in part of on the first images, first locations of the pool cleaning robot; and wherein the moving is responsive to the first locations of the pool cleaning robot.
Abstract:
A method for analyzing a fluid of a pool by a floating system. The method may include sensing, by a sensor of the floating system, at least one out of (a) a wind parameter related to a wind that impinges on the floating system and (b) a movement of the floating system; wherein the floating system further comprises a top portion comprises at least one float, a submerged portion that comprises comprises a fluid analysis instrument, a power source, a controller, and a propulsion unit; determining, by the controller, an impact of the wind on the floating system based on the at least one out of the wind parameter and the movement of the floating system; controlling, by the controller, a movement of the floating system based, at least in part, on the impact of the wind; and analyzing, by the fluid analysis instrument, at one or more analysis points, the fluid of the pool to provide one or more fluid analysis results.
