1. An autonomous outdoor, indoor and all weather terrain versatile cleaning, utility and maintenance robot with the capability of learning, updating and storing environmental data in the form of matrices comprising:

  • a) a multi-tiered platform with a terrain versatile wheeled base housed beneath said multi-tiered platformb) an independently moving set of segmented mechanical arms attached above said multi-tiered platform herein said segmented mechanical arms direct a cleaning apparatus and said cleaning apparatus comprises at least two or more spray nozzles that provide soap, water and solvents to a targeted cleaning area.c) a control section using wireless, digital and analog processing for robotic navigation, obstacle avoidance, sending and receiving data and cleaning and maintaining objects through the use of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional environmental learning data matrices in a computer based microprocessor,i) wherein said robotic navigation maneuvers said robot within said environmental data matrices and generating a path of efficiency which conserves power and minimizes sensor errors through the use of sensor redundancy.ii) wherein said path of efficiency maximizes obstacle avoidance through use of ultrasonic, infrared, cameras, GPS, wheel encoders and mechanical actuators.d) a containment section housed within said multi-tiered platform associated with cleaning, utility and maintenance used to control distribution, pressure, temperature and solvents.e) a power section housed within said multi-tiered platform used to power said segmented arms, wheels, control section and containment section.f) a driving section governed by said control section using power from said power section to maneuver said robot using horizontal and vertical directional means.g) a docking section housed within said multi-tiered platform used to replenish power from said power section and replenish liquids and solvents from said containment sections,i) wherein said robot autonomously navigates using said path of efficiency to arrive at a dock station for said replenishment of liquids and solvents,ii) wherein said dock station is situated between 25-150 feet away from said targeted cleaning area.h) an all weather outer shell that houses said multi-tiered platform resistant to heat, cold, humidity, electromagnetic disturbances, dust and corrosion.
