    Abstract: An autonomous cleaning robot (e.g., an autonomous vacuum) may employ a cleaning head for cleaning messes in an environment. The cleaning head may comprise an enclosure with a brush opening at a first side, a mop opening at a second side, and an outlet connected to a vacuum pump. The outlet may open to a cavity within the enclosure. The cleaning head may further comprise a brush roller configured at a front of the enclosure, a mop roller configured behind the brush roller in the enclosure, an actuator connecting the mop roller and brush roller to the enclosure, and a selection flap hinged at a top portion of the cavity. Each of the brush roller and mop roller may be externally exposed at the brush opening and mop opening, respectively, and the actuator may be configured to move the enclosure vertically.
