Abstract: A docking station for a mobile cleaning robot can include a canister and a base configured to receive the mobile cleaning robot thereon, where the base can include a front portion and a back portion opposite the front portion. The base can include a vacuum port extending at least partially through the base. The canister can be connected to the back portion of the base and can be located at least partially above the base. The canister can include a debris bin connected to the vacuum port to receive debris therefrom and a fan compartment connected to a side wall of the debris bin and including a fan system operable to draw debris through the vacuum port and the debris bin.

Abstract: A grass cutting mobile robot includes a body and a blade assembly connected to the body and rotatable about a drive axis. The blade assembly includes blades, a housing to hold the blades, a coupling latch configured to lock the housing to a drive shaft of the mobile robot, and a spring that connects the blade to the coupling latch. The housing is configured for coupling to an actuator so that the housing is rotatable about a drive axis, and receives a shaft that connects the housing to the actuator. The shaft includes a groove or an undercut therein. The coupling latch is rotatable within the housing to move an engagement end towards, or away from the groove or undercut. The engagement end is positionable within the groove to lock the housing to the actuator.

Abstract: A cleaning station for a mobile robot includes a fluid vessel and a roller arranged in the fluid vessel. The fluid vessel is shaped to hold a cleaning fluid that at least partially submerges the roller. The cleaning station includes a control system configured to, when the mobile robot is docked at the cleaning station, cause rotation of the roller to direct cleaning fluid from the fluid vessel to a cleaning pad of the mobile robot in order to release debris from the cleaning pad.
