Two angled light sensors separate reflected and scattered light, enabling cleaning robots to identify surface types with less complexity under ambient light.
A retractable side brush extends beyond the casing for corner cleaning, then retracts to protect durability and save storage space.
A cam-driven side brush extends for edge cleaning and retracts for storage, improving coverage while limiting brush damage and space use.
Two light sensors compare reflected and scattered light to identify smooth or rough floors without camera complexity or ambient-light isolation.
PM10 and PM2.5 threshold sensing triggers robotic vacuum cleaning only in dusty rooms, cutting unnecessary energy use and oversized coverage.
A movable nozzle rim stays low for strong dust pickup, then lifts during the stroke so larger particles can enter without losing suction.
A compression spring wheel assembly keeps robot cleaner traction more consistent across floor changes while reducing spring installation space.
Image block processing lets a cleaning robot locate the dirtiest areas in advance, improving cleaning accuracy, speed, and energy use.
