[0021] Advantageously, the abrasive floor processing robot comprises at least two slots for connecting simultaneously at least two of the mobile power sources with the abrasive floor processing robot , wherein the abrasive floor processing robot can be operated even i f at least one of the slots is empty and at least one of the slots is connected with the mobile power source . Depending on the required grinding pressure , the number of mobile power sources , which weigh down the abrasive processing element , can arbitrarily be chosen . I f only a small grinding pressure is needed, only one mobile power source can be connected with the abrasive floor processing robot via a slot . I f a higher weight is needed, several mobile power sources can be connected with the abrasive floor processing robot and weigh down the abrasive processing element .

[0022] In a preferred embodiment , the abrasive floor processing robot comprises at least one sensor unit for measuring a condition of the surface , wherein the control unit is adapted to determine after the surface is processed and depending on the measured data i f another process cycle is required .

[0039] Brief Description of the Drawings The invention will be better understood and obj ects other than those set forth above will become apparent from the following detailed description thereof . Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings , wherein :

[0040] Fig . 1 shows the abrasive floor processing robot according to the invention;

[0041] Fig . 2 shows the abrasive floor processing robot according to Fig . 1 wherein the vacuum cleaning system and the mobile power sources are hidden;

[0042] Fig . 3a shows a side view of the abrasive floor processing robot wherein the abrasive processing element is in a working position;

[0043] Fig . 3b shows the abrasive floor processing robot in a non-working position;

[0044] Fig . 4 shows an abrasive floor processing robot with a laterally extending arm with a separate abrasive processing element for grinding the surface close to a vertically extending wall ; and

[0045] Fig . 5 shows a traj ectory of the abrasive floor processing robot moving inside a room with a floor to be processed .

[0046] Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0047] Fig . 1 and Fig . 2 show an abrasive floor processing robot with a chassis 1 . The chassis 1 is supported by actuated di f ferential wheels 2 , which serve as support elements . An abrasive processing element is arranged between the wheels 2 and configured as a grinding disc 3 .

[0048] Alternatively, the abrasive processing element could be a brushing disc . A brushing disc works similarly to a grinding disc, which is why in the following, for the sake of simplicity, only a robot with a grinding disc will be described . The grinding disc 3 touches the surface 4, which is processed by the abrasive floor processing robot. The surface 4 is made of wood, concrete or another material, which can be grinded and / or brushed.

[0049] The grinding disc 3 has a circular shape and might have a diameter between 30 and 50 mm. Alternatively, the robot comprises more than one grinding disc, e.g. three grinding discs with smaller diameters.

[0050] A grinding layer 6 is arranged at the bottom of the grinding disc 3. The grinding layer 6 is directed against the surface 4. The grinding layer 6 comprises abrasive compounds for grinding the surface 4. The abrasive compounds might be made of garnet, aluminium oxide or silicon carbide. Alternative materials are possible. The abrasive compounds might consist of particles of standard sizes, i.e. with average particle diameters between 8 and 1'800 pm.

[0051] The grinding disc 3 is powered by an actuator 7 rotating the grinding disc 3 with different speeds, e.g. with speeds between 0 and 800 rpm.

[0052] Additionally, the robot comprises surface finishing tools, e.g. a polishing device, an oiling device and / or a sealing device.

[0053] A battery system is arranged on the chassis 1. The battery system comprises four slots for connecting batteries 8 with the abrasive floor processing robot. In Fig. 1, all slots are connected with a battery 8. One single battery might have a weight of 15 kg. The weight of the batteries 8 is necessary for making the robot heavy. The heavier the robot is, the more the grinding disc 3 can be pressed against the surface 4.

[0054] It is not necessary that all slots are connected with batteries 8. If a lower pressure on the grinding element 3 is desired, only one, two or three batteries could be connected with the abrasive floor processing robot via the slots of the battery system. The abrasive floor processing robot can be operated even if only one single slot is occupied.

[0055] Alternatively, the abrasive floor processing robot could be powered by solar cells or fuel cells.

[0056] The abrasive floor processing robot comprises a lifting device and a variable pressure system. The lifting device is adapted to move the grinding disc 3 up and down, i.e. in directions as shown in Fig. 3a by double arrow 10. The lifting device can position the grinding disc 3 in different vertical positions.

[0057] The variable pressure system can press the grinding disc 3 with different pressures against the surface 4.

[0058] Both, the lifting device and the variable pressure system are realized by an actuator 11, a vertical extension 12 extending from the actuator 11 and a support connection 13 connecting the extension 12 and the grinding disc 3. If the actuator 11 pulls the extension 12 downwards, the grinding disc 3 is pressed against the surface 4 via the support connections 13. The heavier the robot, the greater is the force with which the grinding disc 3 can be pressed to the surface 4.

[0059] If the actuator 11 moves the extension 12 upwards, the extension 12 pulls the grinding disc 3 upwards. The grinding disc 3 loses contact with the surface 4 and the robot can move without processing the surface 4.

[0060] The grinding disc 3 is connected with the chassis 1 via two rotating arms 14. The two rotating arms 14 are fixated at the chassis 1 and can be rotated around the fixation points 15. If the actuator 11 moves the grinding disc 3 upwards via the support element 13, the two rotating arms 14 rotate clockwise as shown by arrow 16. The two rotating arms 14 ensure that the grinding layer 6 is always parallel to the surface 4, i.e. horizontal. The two rotating arms 14, the chassis 1 and the grinding layer 6 form a parallelogram in every vertical position of the grinding disc 3 . I f the actuator 11 moves downwards , the two rotating arms 14 rotate counter clockwise .

[0061] Fig . 3a shows the grinding element 3 in its lowest li fting position . The variable pressure system presses the grinding layer 6 against the surface 4 . The pressure can be varied by moving the actuator 11 . Fig . 3b shows the robot in a non-working position . The grinding layer 6 does not touch the surface 4 . In such a non-working position, the abrasive floor processing robot can move without grinding the surface 4 .

[0062] Alternatively, the grinding disc 3 could be fixated at the chassis 1 and not be moved relative to the chassis 1 . In this case , linear actuators could be arranged at the wheels for moving the chassis 1 with the grinding disc 3 up and down . The actuators could be hydraulic, pneumatic or mechanic actuators . Alternatively, an air pump could be provided pumping air into the wheels

[0063] 2 moving the chassis 1 and the grinding element 3 upwards . The chassis 1 and the grinding disc 3 could be lowered by evacuating air from the wheels 2 .

[0064] Furthermore , Fig . 1 shows a vacuum cleaning system 18 . The vacuum cleaning system 18 collects dust generated by the grinding operation of the grinding disc

[0065] 3 .

[0066] As shown in Fig . 3a, sensors units 19 and 20 are arranged on the chassis 1 . The sensor unit 19 is arranged on the rear side and measures the condition of the surface 4 after the surface 4 has been processed . The sensor unit comprises a camera and a distance sensor .

[0067] A control unit 17 is arranged above the batteries 8 for controlling the abrasive floor processing robot . The control of the abrasive floor processing robot is illustrated by Fig . 5 , which shows a sketch of a room with a square floor . A traj ectory is shown, which the abrasive floor processing robot moves along . The abrasive floor processing robot starts its operation at point A. It moves with a predefined locomotion speed of ( e . g . constant 0 . 5 m per s ) from point A to point B . The grinding layer 6 of the grinding disc 3 rotates with a constant speed of 600 rpm . The grinding disc 3 is positioned in a working position such that the grinding layer 6 touches the floor of the room when grinding . As soon as the abrasive floor processing robot arrives at point B, the abrasive floor processing robot stops the rotation of the grinding layer 6 or the actuator 11 moves the extension 12 upwards until the grinding layer 6 reduces or loses contact with the floor . The abrasive floor processing robot rotates by 90 ° , starts again rotating the grinding layer 6 and continues moving to point C .

[0068] As soon as the abrasive floor processing robot has grinded the complete floor and arrives at point D, the abrasive floor processing robot stops moving and stops the rotation of the grinding layer 6 . The actuator 11 moves the extension 12 upwards until the grinding layer 6 loses contact with the floor . The abrasive floor processing robot moves back to the starting point A following the dashed line . During this movement , the grinding disc 3 does not rotate and does not touch the floor . The grinding disc 3 is in a non-working position .

[0069] At every location point on the traj ectory, the control unit 17 defines the locomotion speed of the abrasive floor processing robot , the rotational speed of the grinding disc 3 , and the vertical positioning of the grinding disc 3 . In the example shown by Fig . 5 , the abrasive floor processing robot is always working with the same type of grinding layer 6 . However, it is possible that the abrasive floor processing robot works with a first type of a grinding layer on a first part of the traj ectory and works with a second type of a grinding layer on a second part of the traj ectory . When changing the grinding layer, the abrasive floor processing robot might send an alert to the user and the user has to exchange the grinding layer as instructed by the control unit 17 .

[0070] Fig . 4 shows the abrasive floor processing robot with a separate abrasive processing element 21 arranged at an arm 22 laterally extending from the floor processing robot . The separate abrasive processing 21 is suitable for grinding and / or brushing the surface 4 close to a wall 23 . The remaining part of the abrasive floor processing robot , in particular the abrasive processing element 3 is spaced from the wall .
