robotic cleaner

Self-navigating floor sweeper

A robotic cleaner is an autonomous device that cleans floors or other surfaces without direct human operation.

Most commonly refers to disc-shaped vacuums that navigate rooms on their own, detecting obstacles and returning to charging stations: The robotic cleaner got stuck under the couch again.

Pool-cleaning robots and window-washing models also exist.
