Robotic cleaner

This robotic cleaner features a rotating brush positioned at its very front, designed to be the first part of the robot to encounter and contact obstacles. It also includes sensors that can extend and retract, and these sensors are specifically designed to pull back when the robot engages an obstacle.

Why it matters: Filed before integrated control systems could reliably manage dynamic sensor retraction based on physical impact. This makes the specific interaction of the agitator detecting obstacles and the cliff sensors retracting more robust and cost-effective now.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateRetracting cliff sensors, obstacle engagement mechanism.
