Abstract: A surface treatment robot (10; 11) includes a chassis (100) having forward and rear ends and a drive system (1600) carried by the chassis. The drive system (1600) includes right and left wheels (504, 505) and is configured to maneuver the robot (10; 11) over a cleaning surface. The robot includes a vacuum assembly (1300), a collection volume (W), a supply volume (S), an applicator (202), and a wetting element (204), each carried by the chassis (100). The wetting element (204) engages the cleaning surface to distribute a cleaning liquid applied to the surface by the applicator (202). The wetting element (204) distributes the cleaning liquid along at least a portion of the cleaning surface when the robot (10; 11) is driven in a forward direction. The wetting element (204) is arranged substantially forward of a transverse axis (24) defined by the right and left driven wheels (504, 505), and the wetting element (204) slidably supports at least about ten percent of the mass of the robot (10; 11) above the cleaning surface.

Abstract: An autonomous mobile robot system for adjacent bounded areas (204; 206) including a navigation beacon (150, 202, 203, 304) and an autonomous coverage robot (100, 212, 302). The navigation beacon has a gateway beacon emitter (152) arranged to transmit a gateway marking emission (208, 316) with the navigation beacon disposed within a gateway (210) between the first bounded area (204) and an adjacent second bounded area (206). The autonomous coverage robot includes a beacon emission sensor (104, 106) responsive to the beacon emission, and a drive system (130, 132) configured to maneuver the robot about the first bounded area (204) in a cleaning mode in which the robot is redirected in response to detecting the gateway marking emission (208, 316). The drive system is also configured to maneuver the robot through the gateway (210) into the second bounded area (206) in a migration mode.
