1. A robotic vacuum, comprising:
a dustbin configured to receive debris; and
an electric motor disposed in a shell coupled to the dustbin and configured to drive suction for the robotic vacuum by which the debris is vacuumed by the robotic vacuum;
wherein the dustbin is configured to be removable from a chassis of the robotic vacuum and decoupled from the shell containing the electric motor;
wherein the dustbin is free of electronic components when removed from the chassis of the robotic vacuum and decoupled from the shell of the electric motor; and
wherein the shell of the electric motor is coupled to the dustbin with at least one or more releasable latches configured to transition from a first state that holds the dustbin to the shell of the electric motor to a second state that releases the dustbin from the shell of the electric motor.
