    Abstract: An autonomous floor-traversing robot includes: a wheeled body including a chassis and at least one motorized wheel configured to propel the chassis across a floor, the chassis defining an interior compartment disposed beneath a chassis ceiling; a cover extending across at least a central area of the chassis ceiling; and a graspable handle connected to the chassis and located outside the cover so as to be accessible from above the robot, the handle arranged to enable lifting of the robot. The chassis ceiling defines drainage channels configured to conduct the liquid away from the central area of the chassis ceiling.

    Abstract: A device for controlling the reflection of incident beams to influence navigation of an autonomous device having a navigation sensor comprising a beam emitter and a beam detector for detecting reflected emitted beams. The device comprises at least one surface having a geometry configured to direct a reflection from the emitted beam in a predetermined direction so that a suitable amount of the reflected beam can be detected by the detector.

    Abstract: A mobile cleaning robot movable within an environment can include a body, a drive arm, a container, a biasing element, and a link. The drive arm can be connected to the body and can be movable with respect to the body. The drive arm can support a drive wheel. The container can be connectable to the body and can be configured to carry a fluid therein. The biasing element can be connected to the drive arm to bias the drive wheel toward a floor surface. The link can be pivotably connected to the body and can be connected to the biasing element. The link can be engageable with the tank to adjust the biasing element based on an amount of the fluid in the container.
