cleaning robot

Self-navigating vacuum

A cleaning robot is an autonomous or semi-autonomous machine designed to clean floors, windows, pools, or other surfaces without constant human direction.

The most common type is the robotic vacuum, which navigates rooms using sensors to avoid obstacles: The cleaning robot got stuck under the couch again.

More advanced models mop, scrub, or empty their own dustbins.
