Abstract: An autonomous surface cleaning apparatus includes a body including a chassis and an outer shell mounted to the chassis, a drive system carried by the body, a cleaning assembly projecting forward beyond a front surface of the outer shell, the cleaning assembly having a generally planar front surface, and a forward bumper mounted to the front surface of the cleaning assembly. The apparatus further includes a plurality of forwardmost contact sensors disposed behind the forward bumper and arranged to detect displacement of the forward bumper relative to the cleaning assembly, a first plurality of shell contact sensors each being arranged to detect longitudinal displacement of the outer shell relative, and a second plurality of shell contact sensors each being arranged to detect lateral displacement of the outer shell relative to both the chassis and the cleaning assembly.

Abstract: A mobile robot including a vision system, the vision system including a camera and an illumination system; the illumination system including a plurality of light sources arranged to provide a level of illumination to an area surrounding the mobile robot; and a control system for controlling the illumination system. The control system adjusts the level of illumination provided by the plurality of light sources based on an image captured by the camera; an exposure time of the camera at the time the image was captured; and robot rotation information.
