Among other things, we describe a self-cleaning sensor housing. The self-cleaning sensor housing includes at least one sensor comprising a sensor aperture, a motor rotatable about a first axis of revolution, a substantially transparent screen rotatable about a second fixed axis of revolution, and a cleaning mechanism located proximate to the screen and configured to contact the substantially transparent screen. The screen is mechanically coupled to the motor and covers at least a portion of the sensor aperture. We also describe methods for performing self-cleaning operations.
