Abstract

See full text

A system for removing objects from a surface is disclosed. The system may include at least one sensor, a controller, and at least one vibration motor. The sensor is configured to detect an object on the surface and to generate a signal indicative of the object characteristics. The controller may be operatively coupled to the sensor. The controller can receive the generated signal indicative of the object characteristics, and then determine a desired frequency and amplitude of vibration to apply to the surface based on the object characteristics. At least one vibration motor may be in communication with the controller and configured to apply the desired frequency and amplitude of vibration to the surface.
