Abstract: A central vacuum system for collecting debris can include an autonomous vacuum system and a central vacuum fluidly connected to a remote intake port, the central vacuum being operable to generate a central airflow into the remote intake port. The autonomous vacuum system can comprise a collection bin fluidly connected to a debris intake and further include an onboard vacuum operable to generate a suction airflow from the debris intake into the collection bin to the onboard vacuum to draw debris through the debris intake into the collection bin. The autonomous vacuum system can further comprise an output connector fluidly connected to the collection bin. The output connector can be coupled to a remote intake port fluidly connected to a central vacuum operable to generate a central airflow to draw debris from the collection bin into the remote intake port positioned in the remote space.
