Benefits of technology

The invention is about an autonomous surface cleaning apparatus that can collect and store dirt in a closed container, and then deposit it at a separate location. This design simplifies the cleaning process and improves efficiency and battery life of the apparatus. Additionally, the invention includes a pneumatic dirt transfer mechanism that can transfer dirt from the cleaning apparatus to a docking station without the need for a separate mechanism. This design simplifies the design of the robotic vacuum cleaner and ensures a more complete emptying of the dirt collection chamber.

Problems solved by technology

Further, directing air through the dirt chamber of a robotic surface cleaning apparatus may more completely empty the dirt chamber.
