MUMBAI, India, June 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641068708 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Chennai on June 01, 2026, for A System And A Method For An Autonomous Floor Cleaner.
Inventors include S. Pavithra; Sugeeth Jayaraj S. A.; Aarav Abhishek Kumar Arora; Dharshika R.; Ridhima Thakur; and Saravana Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on June 12, 2026, under issue no. 24/2026.
Abstract: A system (100) and a method (200) for autonomous floor cleaner includes one or more modular robotic units (102) comprising wheels (102A), a vacuum-brush assembly (102B), a microcontroller (102C), and sensors (102D); a controller (104) communicatively coupled to the microcontrollers (102C) of the one or more modular robotic units (102). The controller (104) upon receiving visual data pertaining to a floor surface from the one or more sensors (102D-1 to 102D-3) analyzes the visual data to segment the floor surface into areas of interest; and assign to each modular robotic unit (102) for cleaning. Each microcontroller (102C) detects floor type, dust type accumulated over the floor surface, and obstacles if any present across the floor surface on the assigned areas of interest. The microcontroller (102C) adjusts predefined operating parameters of the vacuum-brush assembly (102B) to clean the detected dust from the assigned area of interest.
