Abstract
A robotic floor cleaning device comprises a chassis ( ), motor-driven wheels ( ) supporting the chassis ( ), a motor-driven suction fan ( ), a dirty air inlet ( ) and a motor-driven rotatable agitator ( ) at the dirty air inlet ( ) for agitating the surface. A control system navigates the device around a room and distributes power to the motor-driven wheels ( ) and to the agitator ( ). The control system detects when the agitator ( ) has jammed ( ) and, in the event of a jam, attempts to clear the jam ( ). After successfully clearing the jam the control system turns the agitator ( ) off ( ) or navigates the cleaning device around the location at which the jam occurred ( ). The cleaning device can store the location of the jam for use in preventing further jams when the cleaning device returns to a similar position in the room.
