Abstract

See full text

A method of evaluating slipperiness of a floor surface of a water pool by inducing one or more rotation scans of a pool equipment unit by driving a power pulse to one or more electric motors configured to rotate the pool equipment unit deployed on a floor surface of a water pool and at least partially submerged in water of the water pool, accumulating power values of the power pulse while its level is above a motor operation threshold, accumulating values of angular velocity of the pool equipment unit measured starting after the power pulse drops below the threshold until the pool equipment unit stops rotating; computing work energy invested to rotate the pool equipment unit based on the power values and the angular velocity values; computing a slipperiness index of the floor surface based on the work energy; and initiating one or more actions according to the slipperiness index.
