Abstract: A docking station for a robotic cleaner may include a base having a support and a suction housing, a docking station suction inlet defined in the suction housing, wherein the docking station suction inlet is configured to fluidly couple to the robotic cleaner, and an alignment protrusion defined in the support. The alignment protrusion may be configured to urge the robotic cleaner towards an orientation in which the robotic cleaner fluidly couples to the docking station suction inlet.
