Abstract:

A cleaning system includes a mobile base that enables movement of the cleaning system. The cleaning system also includes a camera that captures an image of a cleaning location and an ultraviolet light source that transmits a disinfecting light output toward the cleaning location. Additionally, the cleaning system includes a processor and a memory. The memory includes instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processor to perform operations. The operations include receiving the image of the cleaning location from the camera and determining a distance from the ultraviolet light source to the cleaning location using the image. Further, the operations include determining a cleaning time period of the cleaning location using the distance from the ultraviolet light source to the cleaning location and controlling the ultraviolet light source to transmit the disinfecting light output for a duration of the cleaning time period.
