A cleaning robot is an automated device designed to assist with household cleaning tasks. These robots typically use sensors and brushes to navigate around a home, picking up dirt, dust, and debris from floors. Many models can be programmed to clean on a schedule and can return to their charging stations when their batteries are low. Most cleaning robots are equipped with features like Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing users to control them via a smartphone app. Some advanced models also include mapping technology, which helps them create a layout of the home for more efficient cleaning.
