An autonomous floor cleaning robot includes a transport drive and control system arranged for autonomous movement of the robot over a floor for performing cleaning operations. The robot chassis carries a first cleaning zone comprising cleaning elements arranged to suction loose particulates up from the cleaning surface and a second cleaning zone comprising cleaning elements arraigned to apply a cleaning fluid onto the surface and to thereafter collect the cleaning fluid up from the surface after it has been used to clean the surface. The robot chassis carries a supply of cleaning fluid and a waste container for storing waste materials collected up from the cleaning surface.

A surface maintenance machine comprising two front wheels, at least one rear wheel, a motive source for providing motive force to at least one front wheel to drive the machine on a surface. Embodiments also include an operator platform allowing an operator to stand thereon extending at least partly around the rear wheel, for supporting an operator in a standing position with the operator's feet on either side of the rear wheel.

The present disclosure provides a method for operating an autonomous mobile device and a storage medium. The method includes: performing re-localization for the autonomous mobile device; detecting a first feature of an identifier; calculating a first relative location of an object having the identifier relative to the autonomous mobile device; calculating, based on the first relative location and a real time location of the autonomous mobile device, a current global location of the object; retrieving a prior global location of a charging station; comparing the current global location and the prior global location; when a difference between the current global location and the prior global location is greater than or equal to a predetermined difference threshold: detecting a second feature of the object and determining whether the object is the charging station; when the object is the charging station, setting a temporary restricted zone.
