Abstract: An autonomous cleaning robot includes a controller configured to execute instructions to perform one or more operations. The one or more operations includes operating a drive system to move the cleaning robot in a forward drive direction along a first obstacle surface with a side surface of the cleaning robot facing the first obstacle surface, then operating the drive system to turn the cleaning robot such that the side surface of the cleaning robot faces a second obstacle surface, then operating the drive system to move the cleaning robot in a rearward drive direction along the second obstacle surface, and then operating the drive system to move the cleaning robot in the forward drive direction along the second obstacle surface.

Abstract: A method of operating a mobile cleaning robot can include engaging a flooring surface of an environment with a cleaning pad of the mobile cleaning robot. At least one wheel of the mobile cleaning robot can be operated to move the mobile cleaning robot forward relative to the flooring surface a first time along a cleaning rank while the cleaning pad is engaged with the flooring surface. After moving forward, at least one wheel can be operated to move the mobile cleaning robot rearward relative to the flooring surface along the cleaning rank while the cleaning pad is engaged with the flooring surface. After moving rearward, at least one wheel can be operated to move the mobile cleaning robot forward a second time relative to the flooring surface along the cleaning rank while the cleaning pad is engaged with the flooring surface.
