Abstract: Systems and methods for automated cleaning and inspection of electric vehicles. The systems and methods for automated cleaning eliminate the need for human interaction with the vehicle and/or cleaning system. Vehicle cleaning is typically a heavily manual task that consumes operation personnel time and resources. Providing automated systems and methods for vehicle cleaning can reduce human resources used for cleaning. Additionally, automated cleaning systems and methods can increase vehicle utilization efficiency by decreasing downtime for cleaning. In various implementations, systems and methods are provided for automated vehicle inspections. In some examples, automated vehicle inspections can occur concurrently with automated vehicle cleaning.

Abstract: A robotic cleaner for removing material from a vessel, such as but not limited to a sumps, and storage tank, includes a chassis, elongated track members, and a cleaning head. A first elongated track member is on a first side of the chassis and a second elongated track member is on a second side of the chassis, and the elongated track members enable movement of the robotic cleaner along a surface. The cleaning head is supported by the chassis and is nested between the first and second elongated track members such that the first elongated track member and the second elongated track member overlap the cleaning head in a lateral direction. An inlet of the cleaning head may face a forward direction of the robotic cleaner.

Abstract: A sterilizer for an autonomous robotic cleaner is revealed. An ultraviolet (UV) sterilizer is disposed on a top surface of an autonomous robotic cleaner. When the autonomous robotic cleaner is moved for cleaning the floor, consumers can activate the UV sterilizer by remote control to perform sterilization of indoor environments according to their needs. Thus a clean and hygienic environment is achieved. A person or pet in area to be cleaned is detected in a real time manner by a thermal sensor module so that the UV sterilizer is turned off immediately to protect the person or pet from injuries caused by exposure to UV light.

Abstract: A pool-cleaning robot is provided, comprising: a robot body with a moving mechanism controlled to move the robot body forward or backward; wherein the robot body has a weight difference between its left and right sides; the moving mechanism includes a driver to drive the moving mechanism unilaterally; the robot body is provided with a fluid inlet-outlet, at least one first fluid inlet, and at least one first fluid outlet, which are communicated with each other. The fluid inlet-outlet is provided with a fluid driver that applies a suction force to the first fluid inlet or a discharge force to the first fluid outlet; a controller in the robot body, connected to and controlling the operation of the moving mechanism and the fluid driver; when the robot body is on a floor or walls of a pool, combinations of discharge forces, suction forces and weight differences steer the robot.
