Autonomous pool cleaning robot
First Claim
1. A pool cleaning robot for cleaning a pool, comprising:
- a filtering path for filtering a fluid of the pool, a housing, and a drive system that is arranged to move the pool cleaning robot in relation to an environment of the pool cleaning robot;
wherein the environment comprises the pool and an exterior surface;
wherein the drive system comprises;
a drive motor system, a group of interfacing modules, a transmission system that is arranged to couple the drive motor system to the group of interfacing modules, and an interface manipulator;
wherein interfacing modules of the group are arranged to interface between the pool cleaning robot and the environment;
wherein the interface manipulator is arranged to change a spatial relationship between (a) the housing and (b) a selected interfacing module of the group that is a track, during an exit process during which the pool cleaning robot is configured to climb a pool sidewall interface, and exit the pool.
