An autonomous toilet may include a waste receptacle having a receptacle opening, a seat extending at least partially around the receptacle opening, the seat being configured to support a user of the autonomous toilet, a plurality of driven wheels configured to urge the autonomous toilet across a surface, one or more sensors configured to sense one or more conditions of a surrounding environment, and a controller communicatively coupled to the one or more sensors and the plurality of driven wheels.

Autonomous waste collection

Implementations described herein include surgical helmet assemblies that have a helmet enclosure shaped to encircle a head of a user. The helmet enclosure retains a fan and includes a brow bar portion at a front of the helmet enclosure that is shaped to extend along a brow or a forehead of the user and having a light positioned therein. The helmet enclosure also includes a stabilizer extending downward from the helmet enclosure in front of the ears of a user, a face shield that is transparent and coupleable to at least the brow bar portion, a headband shaped to extend across an occiput region of the user's head, and a surgical garment for covering at least the head and shoulders of a user in use. The brow bar portion includes vents disposed therein to direct airflow pushed through the helmet enclosure from the fan onto the user. The face shield is coupleable to the helmet enclosure by one or more of a hook and loop fastener on the helmet enclosure or the stabilizer and a post protruding from the brow bar portion.
