Compact autonomous coverage robot

摘要

An autonomous coverage robot (100, 101) includes a chassis (200) having forward and rearward portions (210, 220) and a drive system (400) carried by the chassis (200). The forward portion (210) of the chassis (200) defines a substantially rectangular shape. The robot (100, 101) includes a cleaning assembly (500) mounted on the forward portion (210) of the chassis (200) and a bin (620) disposed adjacent the cleaning assembly (500) and configured to receive agitated debris. A bin cover (620) is pivotally attached to a lower portion (203) of the chassis (200) and configured to rotate between a first, closed position providing closure of an opening (612) defined by the bin (610) and a second, open position providing access to the bin opening (612). The robot (100, 101) includes a body (300) attached to the chassis (200) and a handle (330) disposed on an upper portion (305) of the body (300). A bin cover release (630) is actuatable from substantially near the handle (330).
