Abstract: A cleaning system includes a robotic cleaner and an evacuation station. The robotic cleaner can dock with the evacuation station to have debris evacuated by the evacuation station. The robotic cleaner includes a bin to store debris, and the bin includes a port door through which the debris can be evacuated into the evacuation station. The evacuation station includes a vacuum motor to evacuate the bin of the robotic cleaner.

Abstract: A robot includes a body and a bumper. The body is movable relative to a surface and includes a first portion of a sensor. The bumper is mounted on the body and movable relative to the body and includes a backing and a second portion of the sensor. The backing is movable relative to the body in response to a force applied to the bumper. The second portion of the sensor is attached to the backing and movable with the backing relative to the first portion of the sensor in response to a force applied to the bumper. The sensor is configured to output an electrical signal in response to a movement of the backing. The electrical signal is proportional to an amount of displacement of the second portion relative to the first portion.

Abstract: A robot (100) includes a body (109) and a bumper (106, 200). The body (109) is movable relative to a surface and includes a first portion of a sensor (210, 2405, 2550). The bumper (106, 200) is mounted on the body (109) and movable relative to the body (109) and includes a backing (204) and a second portion of the sensor (210, 2405, 2550). The backing (204) is movable relative to the body (109) in response to a force applied to the bumper (106, 200). The second portion of the sensor (210, 2405, 2550) is attached to the backing (204) and movable with the backing (204) relative to the first portion of the sensor (210, 2405, 2550) in response to a force applied to the bumper (106, 200). The sensor (210, 2405, 2550) is configured to output an electrical signal (820 - 820i) in response to a movement of the backing (204). The electrical signal (820 - 820i) is proportional to an amount of displacement of the second portion relative to the first portion.
