    Abstract: A method of navigating a dynamic pool equipment unit in a water pool, comprising: receiving sensory data captured by a plurality of sensors of a dynamic pool equipment unit moving in a water pool, mapping, based on analysis of the sensory data, one or more geometrically distinguishable surfaces of the water pool which is geometrically distinguishable from any adjacent surface of the water pool, generating a map of the water pool based on the mapped one or more geometrically distinguishable surface, and outputting the water pool map for navigating one or more dynamic pool. Wherein the plurality of sensors employ a plurality of different sensing technologies.

    Abstract: A method of evaluating slipperiness of a floor surface of a water pool by inducing one or more rotation scans of a pool equipment unit by driving a power pulse to one or more electric motors configured to rotate the pool equipment unit deployed on a floor surface of a water pool and at least partially submerged in water of the water pool, accumulating power values of the power pulse while its level is above a motor operation threshold, accumulating values of angular velocity of the pool equipment unit measured starting after the power pulse drops below the threshold until the pool equipment unit stops rotating; computing work energy invested to rotate the pool equipment unit based on the power values and the angular velocity values; computing a slipperiness index of the floor surface based on the work energy; and initiating one or more actions according to the slipperiness index.
