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.
