  • MOBILE CLEANING ROBOT WITH VARIABLE CLEANING FEATURES
    Publication number: 20240008704
    Abstract: A mobile cleaning robot can include a body movable within an environment and can define a suction duct. The cleaning assembly can be connected to the body and can be configured to at least partially define, together with a floor surface of the environment, a debris port connected to the suction duct. The cleaning assembly can be engageable with a surface of the environment to direct debris through the debris port, and the cleaning assembly can include a guide adjustable to alter suction through the debris port.
