Abstract: A robotic cleaning system may include a docking station, a robotic cleaner that includes at least one of a first set of robot charging contacts or a second set of robot charging contacts, the first and second sets of robot charging contacts being configured to electrically couple the robotic cleaner to the docking station, a dust cup configured to removably couple to the robotic cleaner, and a mop module configured to removably couple to the robotic cleaner. When the mop module is coupled to the robotic cleaner, the robotic cleaner may be configured to electrically couple to the docking station using the first set of robot charging contacts. When the mop module is not coupled to the robotic cleaner, the robotic cleaner may be configured to electrically couple to the docking station using the second set of robot charging contacts.

Abstract: A docking station for a robotic cleaner may include a base, the base including a support and a suction housing, a docking station suction inlet defined in the suction housing, the docking station suction inlet being configured to fluidly couple to the robotic cleaner, and a docking station suction motor, wherein the docking station suction motor is activated after the robotic cleaner is determined to be docked with the docking station and in response to a triggering event.
