The device is positioned as a stand-alone vacuum cleaner equipped with intelligent software and a vacuum cleaning system for cleaning houses. Such devices can work without human help. It is also possible that a person intentionally controls a vacuum cleaner using the APP, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth remote control while away from home. Robotic vacuum cleaners work similarly to conventional vacuum cleaners, but without human intervention. Most devices operate on the principle of cleaning in one direction, as far as possible. When hitting an obstacle, they turn and continue their work. Vacuum cleaners are programmed to independently collect all particles of dust and debris.
Today, many brands are available for daily or weekly living space updates. Most models are well suited for cleaning hard floors.
Device features
In the vacuum cleaner there is an engine, as in a conventional vacuum cleaner. Almost all robotic cleaning products use two drive wheels.
The devices have many sensors inside the machine and at the bottom of the device, which provides feedback to the environment and the detection of obstacles in its path, such as stairs or furniture. The sensors also transmit the distance traveled and the status of the electronics.
There are three stages of operation of most automatic vacuum cleaners and four stages for some models:
- Double wide side brushes rotate together to catch and transfer dirt, dust, hair and debris from corners and edges to the center of the main brush.
- The main roller brush captures hair and debris with bristles, removing dirt, dust, stains.
- A powerful engine draws dirt into the filtered waste bin through the air intake. While the filter removes tiny particles of dust, mites and allergens from the air.
- The water tank continuously dispenses liquid onto a microfiber cloth, and the appliance uses a damp cloth to wash your floor with forward and backward movements, easily removing stubborn dirt from the floors.
Attention! Robot vacuum cleaners are not able to climb or descend stairs. The power of an automatic vacuum cleaner cannot match the suction power and performance of a vertical vacuum cleaner, so this technique cannot provide regular deep cleaning.
Vacuum cleaner specifications
The robot must have excellent performance and battery life. Devices can be upgraded with new software for more efficient cleaning. Parts and accessories are easy to replace, just like batteries.
The program moves the vacuum cleaner to a new area of work, so there is no need to monitor cleanliness. Driven by an intelligent navigation algorithm, the robot moves around and easily moves around obstacles, changing its route to clear rooms more thoroughly.
Wi-Fi enabled vacuum robot can bring more convenience. By installing a specific application on a mobile device, it is possible to easily use our smartphone or tablet as a remote control to control the robot. The cleaning program can be built into the robot's memory using a simple sequence of buttons; this tells the robot to leave the station on the appointed day and time to clean the house. It is returned only when the cleaning task is completed or the battery runs out during the execution of the task. If the battery runs out before the cleaning task is completed, the robot will interrupt its task and return to the docking station.
Most robotic vacuum cleaners usually use several smart sensors, such as edge sensor, cliff sensor, collision sensor, obstacle sensors, ultrasonic radar sensor, laser distance sensor, gyro sensor. Thus, robots can freely move around the house and automatically adapt to the environment for thorough cleaning of the floor.
The robot can automatically charge. First, select a location to access the robot for the dock, and the robot will return automatically before it crashes.
Also, some robot cleaners that use an additional technology called the "virtual wall", which is an infrared ray of light that is sent from the device to act like a virtual wall, when the robot receives a light signal, it changes direction to avoid this particular area.
Types of Robot Vacuum Cleaners
The following types of automatic vacuum cleaners can be distinguished:
- for dry cleaning;
- for wet cleaning;
- a technique with both functions.
For dry cleaning
Such a device works on the principle of a simple vacuum cleaner, capturing third-party elements with brushes and sucking them into a designated container. In this case, part of the dust is deposited on the filter.
Good examples of such devices are: Foxcleaner, Iboto, Arnagar and other budget models..
For wet processing
The second type of vacuum cleaner supports the function of washing the floor. The device sprays the liquid through the space, after which it wipes the water with a cloth. Used water is placed in a container. Drying can be accomplished in a variety of ways, including airflow or wiping with silicone rubber.
Attention! This technique is not suitable for processing carpets that are vulnerable to water from parquet or laminate.
Combined Model
To process a large area, it is convenient to use the 2 in 1 model to combine all the functions in one device. Thus, the robot will both sweep and wash the floor surface. Similar devices are available under the brands FOX cleaner, Super ProJet, Ziclean tornado.
