Floor treatment apparatus

This is a floor cleaning or treatment machine designed as a platform for an operator to stand on. It's unique because it can be controlled both directly by the operator and remotely or autonomously, and it features an electric monowheel that allows it to turn a full 360 degrees. The machine also includes a system to store and dispense cleaning fluids.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread compact robotics and advanced sensor fusion for autonomous navigation. The 'without direct contact' input and obstacle avoidance are now more feasible with off-the-shelf components.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateElectric monowheel, control system, fluid pumps, steering.
