AI Technical Summary
Robotic vacuum cleaners lack the ability to effectively map dust distribution across a floor, leading to inefficient cleaning operations as they may expend power vacuuming areas with low dust accumulation.
A robotic vacuum cleaner equipped with a piezoelectric sensor in its airflow path generates electrical signals from dust particle impacts to determine size distribution data, combined with location information to create a dust distribution map, using a data processing system to analyze these signals and generate spatial dust particle size distribution data.
Enables efficient cleaning by allowing the robotic vacuum cleaner to target areas with higher dust concentrations, optimizing power usage and cleaning effectiveness.
