Window Cleaning Robot
First Claim
1. A window-cleaning robot comprising:
- a movement system configured for moving the robot over a window surface and operable with a predefined forwards direction of movement;
at least one agitator configured for removing debris from a window surface;
at least one cleaning pad for removing debris from the window surface, the at least one cleaning pad arranged on the robot to follow the at least one agitator when the movement system moves the robot in the predefined forwards direction of movement; and
wherein said at least one agitator and said at least one cleaning pad are arranged such that, as said movement system moves the robot over the window surface in said forwards direction, the at least one agitator addresses a first width in a width direction, which is perpendicular to said forwards direction and parallel to the window surface, and at least one cleaning pad addresses a second width in said width direction, said first width being substantially equal to or greater than said second width.

Abstract
A window-cleaning robot that includes: a powered agitator that, when active, mechanically removes debris from a window surface; a cleaning pad, which is wetted with a cleaning fluid and contacts the window surface so as to remove debris therefrom with the aid of the cleaning fluid; and a movement system, for example including a number of wheels, which moves the robot over the window surface and has a defined forwards direction; the agitator is located forwards of the cleaning pad and the agitator and the cleaning pad are arranged such that, as the robot moves over the window surface in the forwards direction, the agitator addresses a width in a width direction, which is perpendicular to the forwards direction and parallel to the window surface, that is greater than the width addressed by the cleaning pad.
