Abstract: A method of operating an autonomous cleaning robot is provided. The method includes receiving, at a handheld computing device, data representing a status of a debris collection bin of the autonomous cleaning robot, the status of the bin including a bin fullness reading. The method also includes receiving, at the handheld computing device, data representing a status of a filter bag of an evacuation station, the status of the filter bag including a bag fullness reading. The method also includes presenting, on a display of the handheld computing device, a first status indicator representing the bin fullness reading, and presenting, on the display of the handheld computing device, a second status indicator representing the bag fullness reading.

Abstract: A user device, such as a smartphone or a tablet computer, can provide a user with information pertaining to operations of an autonomous robotic lawnmower to assist the user with monitoring the operations of the robotic lawnmower and with setting up the autonomous robotic lawnmower. For example, the user device can present example lawn shapes and recommended locations of beacons suitable for these lawn shapes, can indicate the quantity of beacons detected by the autonomous robotic lawnmower, can be used to establish a region on a lawn where the autonomous robotic lawnmower performs a particular behavior, can be used to select a grass height that the autonomous robotic lawnmower cuts the lawn, and can be taught a particular path to take when returning to a docking station to charge the autonomous robotic lawnmower.
