Abstract: A roller assembly for a mobile cleaning system for cleaning a work surface can include a drive shaft, a sheath, a bushing, and a bushing shroud. The drive shaft can be rotatable about a drive axis, and the drive shaft can include a driven end and an opposite bushing end. The sheath can be supported by the drive shaft and the sheath can be rotatable with the drive shaft. The sheath can include a shell engageable with the work surface. The bushing can be located about the bushing end of the drive shaft. The bushing shroud can be connected to the bushing. The sheath and the drive shaft can be together rotatable with respect to the bushing and the bushing shroud, the bushing shroud can include an outer portion defining a first radius of curvature and a recessed portion connected to the outer portion.

Abstract: A mobile robot includes a recessed well in a top surface of the mobile robot, at least one capacitive sensor underlying the recessed well and having a first region and a second region, one or more mobility sensors, and a controller coupled to the at least one capacitive sensor and the one or more mobility sensors. The controller is configured to determine an operating status of the mobile robot responsive to output signals from the one or more mobility sensors, and selectively disregard an input at a first portion of the recessed well corresponding to the first region of the at least one capacitive sensor based on the operating status of the mobile robot.

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.
