This led to the development of vacuum cleaners that could assist us with such a task. Modern appliances are delivering convenience and reducing time spent on house chores. While vacuum cleaners have made home cleaning manageable, they are mostly noisy and bulky for everyday use. Modern robotic vacuums deliver consistent performance and enhanced cleaning features, but continue to struggle with uneven terrain and navigation challenges. This whitepaper will take a more in-depth look at the problem faced by the robotic vacuum cleaner (RVC) in avoiding obstacles and entanglement and how we can arrive at a solution depending on the functionalities. 3 [email protected] Optimizing cleaning efficiency of robotic vacuum cleaner 2.0 INTRODUCTION The earliest robotic vacuums did one thing passably well. They danced randomly over a smooth or flat surface, sucking up some dirt and debris until their battery charge got low and they had to return to their docks. They could more or less clean a space without the ability to understand it. Today’s robotic cleaners have made huge strides over the past few years.

This is problematic in automated warehouses that use robots to move items from one location to another. If the robot slips, it can collide with other robots or lose track of where it is located. Currently, to reduce the amount of dust on the floor, warehouses use industrial scrubbers that users walk behind or ride. This requires manual labor and a regular scheduled maintenance plan that needs to be followed to mitigate the dust accumulation.

  • Spring Cleaning Windows Like a Pro
    Spring Cleaning Windows Like A Pro energyshieldwindowsanddoors.com/spring-cleaning-windows-like-a-pro Welcome back Spring! This season brings warmer weather, new buds on the trees and deep cleaning to refresh your home after a long, stuffy Winter. Spring cleaning is a time- honored tradition for many American families who devote a weekend to let in the fresh air of Spring, deep clean floors and cleaning your windows, inside and out. While methods used for cleaning windows vary from person to person (everyone has their own technique), a good cleaning will remove dust, pollen and other outdoor materials that build up over time. If not cleaned on a regular basis, the debris buildup can potentially damage window tracks. Energy Shield Window & Door Company of Arizona recommends cleaning your windows at least twice a year. If you’re dreading a huge pile of wadded up paper towels, noxious cleaner fumes and extreme exertion to only achieve mediocre results, you’re not alone. To save you time and elbow grease, we would like to offer the following step-by-step instructions for Spring cleaning windows like a pro. Window Cleaning Supplies There are all kinds of window cleaners on the market, but the best solution of dish soap and warm water is safe around pets, simple and extremely effective. For optimal results, you will also need a squeegee to make your windows shine. Window cleaning supplies list: 6 Gallon Bucket (a rectangular-shaped bucket the best) 5 to 5 Gallons of Warm Water 1 Squirt of Dish Soap (we recommend Dawn) 1/3 Hand-held Sponge Squeegee Tool Lint-Free Rag or Chamois To get started to fill your bucket with warm water then add just a squirt of dishwashing liquid.
