The computer is programmed and operable to (a) determine whether to commence a first cleaning phase for cleaning a first section based on the at least one sensor or camera; (b) control pick up of the cleaning tool; (c) control the robotic arm to clean according to a predefined route or pattern to scrub the first section; (d) query whether the first section is clean; and (e) dock the cleaning tool if the first section is clean. Related methods are also described. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenTechnical publication OT-2026-000000583 Published 2026-09-15T19:03:06.924787Z https://opentechnical.org/p/OT-2026-000000583
