Roller Brush System: Robotic vacuums are typically equipped with a main roller brush and side brushes. The main roller brush is responsible for cleaning large areas, while the side brushes are used to gather debris from edges and corners into the main brush's area. The roller brushes use high-speed rotation to sweep up debris from the floor and throw it into the dustbin.

 

Vacuum System: Some high-end robotic vacuums are also equipped with a vacuum system that uses negative pressure to suck fine dust into the dustbin, ensuring a more thorough cleaning.

 

Dustbin: The dust collected during cleaning is temporarily stored in the dustbin. The capacity and design of the dustbin directly affect the continuous working time of the sweeper.

 

Power System: Sweepers are typically powered by batteries or a combustion engine, providing the power needed for the roller brush to rotate, suction, and move. Battery-powered sweepers are more environmentally friendly and suitable for indoor use; combustion-powered sweepers are suitable for large-area outdoor cleaning.

 

Navigation System: Smart robotic vacuums are equipped with LiDAR, cameras, or infrared sensors for path planning and obstacle avoidance. These sensors help the vacuum efficiently cover the cleaning area, avoiding collisions and repeated cleaning.

 

Control System: Users can set cleaning modes, scheduled tasks, etc., through the control panel or mobile app. Some robotic vacuums also support automatic recharging, automatically returning to the charging dock when the battery is low.
