Abstract: An autonomous mobile robot includes a body, a drive supporting the body above a floor surface, a light-propagating plate positioned on the body and having a periphery defining a continuous loop, light sources each being positioned to direct light through a portion of the plate to a portion of the continuous loop, and a controller to selectively operate the light sources to provide a visual indicator of a status or service condition of the autonomous mobile robot. The drive is configured to maneuver the mobile robot about the floor surface.

Abstract: An autonomous cleaning robot (100) comprises a chassis (110), at least one motorized drive wheel (120a, 120b) mounted to the chassis (110) and arranged to propel the robot (100) across a surface, and a pair of cleaning rollers (310a, 310b) mounted to the chassis (110) and having outer surfaces (350) exposed on an underside of the chassis (110) and to each other (310a, 310b). The cleaning rollers (310a, 310b) are drivable to counter- rotate while the robot (100) is propelled, thereby cooperating to direct raised debris upward into the robot (100) between the rollers (310a, 310b). A side brush (140) is further mounted to the chassis (110) to rotate beneath the chassis (110) adjacent a lateral side (104a) of the chassis (110) about an upwardly extending side brush axis (Zc), and the outer surface (311a) of a first of the cleaning rollers of the pair (310b) extends laterally beyond the outer surface (312a) of a second of the cleaning rollers of the pair (310a) and laterally beyond the side brush axis (Zc), such that the first cleaning roller (310b) defines a cleaning width (W

Abstract: This document describes a mobile cleaning robot including a chassis having a forward portion and an aft portion; a blower affixed to the chassis; a bin supported by the chassis and configured to receive airflow from the blower, the chassis enabling evacuation of the bin through a bottom of the robot. The bin includes a top, a bottom, a sidewall, and an internal barrier. The bin includes a first volume and a second volume separated by the internal barrier and a filter unit supported by the internal barrier and removably disposed in an airflow path between the first volume that includes an intake port in the bin and the second volume that includes an exhaust port in the bin.
