Abstract
A robotic wheel cleaner configured for performing a cleaning operation on a wheel is disclosed. The robotic wheel cleaner comprises a selectively moveable arm that is operatively connected to a body portion at a first end thereof. A cleaning tool is operatively connected to a second end of the moveable arm. The cleaning tool further comprises cleaning pad configured for selectively engaging at least a first predetermined location of a wheel. The cleaning tool is selectively movable along a first predetermined pathway to clean at least a predetermined portion of the wheel. The robotic wheel cleaner can further be actuated to move the cleaning tool to position the cleaning pad at least a second predetermined location of the wheel and to selectively move the cleaning pad along a second predetermined pathway to clean at least a second predetermined portion of the wheel.
