    Abstract: The invention relates to a robotic cleaning device comprising a chassis and an outer shell secured to the chassis to define a structural envelope of a height to enable movement of the robotic cleaning device under furniture, left and right main drive wheel assemblies and respective independent electric motors, independently mounted in pivotally-biased combination with the chassis for pivotal motion with respect thereto at opposed ends of the transverse diameter of the chassis, and movable between a retracted position under the weight of the robotic cleaning device during operation and an extended position wherein their axes of rotation are below the bottom plane of the chassis, a navigational control system operative to monitor movement activity of the robotic cleaning device within a defined working area, the monitored movement activity including at least one of a position history of the robotic cleaning device and an instantaneous position of the robotic cleaning device, and a transmitting subsystem including a transmitter laser. The transmitter laser is configured to redirect a transmitting element of the transmitter laser, to cover the defined working area by transmitting a beam substantially parallel to a surface of the defined working area, and is integrated in combination with a high point of a housing infrastructure of the robotic cleaning device so that none of the structural features of the robotic cleaning device interfere with operation of the transmitting element of the transmitter laser.
