Embodiment Construction

[0071] Described in detail below is an autonomous mobile cleaning robot capable of cleaning the floor of a room by navigating the room while mopping the floor. The robot is capable of spraying cleaning fluid on the floor and wiping it with a cleaning pad attached to the bottom side of the robot. The cleaning fluid can, for example, dissolve and suspend grime on the floor. The robot can autonomously select a cleaning mode based on the cleaning pad attached to the robot. The cleaning mode may include, for example, the amount of cleaning fluid dispensed by the robot and / or cleaning means. In some cases, the cleaning pad may clean the floor without cleaning fluid, so that the robot does not need to spray the floor with cleaning fluid as part of the selected cleaning mode. In other cases, the amount of cleaning fluid used to clean the floor may vary depending on the type of cleaning pad identified by the robot. Some cleaning pads may require a higher volume of cleaning fluid to ...
