etc.

[0009] The concept of self-cleaning machines can be traced back to early mechanical devices
designed to automate cleaning processes. These included rudimentary systems such as self-
rinsing filters in industrial machinery, which used pressure differentials or mechanical agitation
to remove debris and contaminants without requiring manual intervention.

[0010]

[0011] The device includes a Some advanced models feature self-emptying bins, where the robot
automatically empties collected dirt and debris into a larger bin or docking station, further
reducing user intervention. The invention of this devices involved the integration of sensors for
obstacle detection, cliff, and mapping algorithms to optimize cleaning routes.

[0012] The device also includes a sensors, brushes, and suction mechanisms to navigate and
clean floors without human intervention, Robotic vacuum cleaners revolutionized home cleaning
by offering autonomous floor cleaning solutions.

computer vision, has enhanced the capabilities of robotic vacuum cleaners. AI algorithms enable
the robot to learn from its environment, adapt its cleaning patterns, and avoid obstacles more
effectively over time.

[0014] The device also includes a personalization module that can recommend content and
provide contextual information based on the user's browsing history and preferences. This allows
the device to tailor the user experience and present relevant content.

[0015] The device also includes a autonomous device capable of navigating and cleaning floors
without human intervention. The idea of a robotic vacuum cleaner stemmed from the desire to
automate household chores and make cleaning more convenient for users. Early
conceptualization involved studying the feasibility of creating a compact.

Detailed description of the Drawings

[0018] The self-cleaning vacuum cleaner system described herein is a revolutionary

advancement in household cleaning technology. Traditional vacuum cleaners require frequent
manual maintenance, including filter replacement and debris disposal. This patent introduces an
innovative solution to address these shortcomings by incorporating automated self-cleaning
mechanisms.
[0019] The above diagram is a vacuum cleaner which is useful in cleaning floor and keeping it
neat. This vacuum does the same function as the others but also consists of a mop
[0020] This vacuum machine is used to vacuum the floor and keep it dust free whereas an
attached mop is used to clean the floor by mopping it. They have a water holder which stores
water in it, and it needs to be filled as it gets over.

[0021] The system consists of several integrated components working harmoniously to ensure
optimal performance and minimal user intervention. At its core are advanced sensors, intelligent
algorithms, and robotic capabilities that enable the vacuum cleaner to autonomously detect and
address cleanliness issues.

[0022] Filters are critical components of vacuum cleaners, but they often require regular
maintenance to sustain optimal suction power. The patented system addresses this challenge with
a sophisticated filter cleaning mechanism. When sensors detect a decrease in airflow or filter
obstruction, the vacuum initiates a self-cleaning cycle.
[0023] The vacuum cleaner incorporates self-diagnostic capabilities. Through continuous
monitoring of performance metrics, such as suction power and battery life, the system can
identify potential issues before they escalate. In the event of a malfunction, the vacuum may
initiate corrective actions autonomously or alert the user for manual intervention.

[0024] In addition to its self-cleaning features, the vacuum cleaner utilizes robotic technology for
intelligent navigation and cleaning optimization. Equipped with mapping sensors and algorithms,
the vacuum efficiently navigates through various floor surfaces, avoiding obstacles and
maximizing coverage. This ensures thorough cleaning with minimal energy consumption.

[0025] The water holder is attached to the mop where the water goes down to the mop when a
button is pressed in the holder, and this is how it works. It needs to be plugged in to function.

The vacuum cleaner is used for cleaning and mopping the area to produce a clean surface. They
have a sensor detector which detects the obstacles in their way. They can detect the stairs and can
stop on their own to prevent damage.
Holder- The holder through which a person can hold that machine and move around to clean
places.

Vacuum-the place where all dust particles are stored. There are plastic bags inside the tube where
these particles are stored in the cleaning process and need to be removed when it's full and re-
replaced with other plastic bags.
Vacuum tube- it acts as connection for the holder and the vacuum. It helps in storing the dust
particles in the cleaning process. The contain bags through which dust particles are stored.

Water holder- It is a place where water is stored in this place which can be used to mop the area
by adding water onto that place.

Mop-which is used to mop that area for clean surface.

The system employs sensors and algorithms to detect dirt buildup, prompting automated cleaning
