Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an autonomous cleaning device that is designed and configured to optimize the cleaning capability and efficiency of its cleaning mechanisms while concomitantly minimizing or reducing the power requirements of such cleaing mechanisms.
SOLUTION: The autonomous floor-cleaning robot includes a housing infrastructure including a chassis, right and left main wheel assemblies for forward driving the robot, a vacuum system mounted on the chassis to ingest particulates for floor cleaning, and a brush assembly to collect particulates from a floor surface upon floor cleaning. The vacuum system includes a vacuum inlet of constant width and space, separate and independently of a sweep area defined by the brush assembly. A trailing edge of the vacuum system is orientated so that the vacuum inlet is immediately adjacent the brush assembly and forward facing.
