Abstract

See full text

The FODBot consists of a primary power source, a fan for creating suction, a suction nozzle for picking up FOD from flat areas and depressions in the flat areas, a horizontal brush for moving FOD to the suction nozzle and a cup brush with deformable linkage that can adjust to vertical surfaces and move FOD from the edge of these surfaces to the suction nozzle. The FOD removal machine also contains FOD sensors, position sensors and an algorithm and computer to create a digital twin of all acquired FOD by building a database of the FOD's type, location and time of cleaning.
