A mobile cleaning robot can include a body, a drive wheel, and a wheel stop. The drive wheel can be connected to the body and can be operable to move the mobile cleaning robot about an environment. The wheel stop can be movable with respect to the body and the drive wheel between a stop position and a release position. The wheel stop can be engageable with the drive wheel in the stop position to limit vertical travel of the drive wheel with respect to the body.

The present disclosure provides robotic systems and methods. The robotic systems and methods may be used to clean an area or environment.

A robotic floor cleaning device that features a controlled liquid releasing mechanism. A rotatable cylinder with at least one aperture for storing a limited quantity of liquid is connected to a non-propelling wheel of the robotic floor cleaning device. There is a passage below the cylinder and between the cylinder and a drainage mechanism. The cylinder is within or adjacent to a liquid reservoir. Each time an aperture is exposed to the liquid within the reservoir it fills with liquid. As the wheel turns the connected cylinder is rotated until the aperture is adjacent to the passage. The liquid in the aperture will flow through the passage and enter the drainage mechanism which disperses the liquid to the working surface. The release of liquid is halted when the connected wheel stops turning.

A cleaning control method and device including a cleaning robot are provided. The cleaning robot includes a sweeping member and a mopping member which cooperate with each other, and an operating parameter is obtained. A sweeping area formed in real time by the sweeping member, a mopping area formed in real time by the mopping member and a mopped area formed on a lateral side of the cleaning robot are controlled to meet a first preset relationship according to the operating parameter. The first preset relationship includes that a first distance formed between a boundary of the sweeping area closest to the mopped area and a boundary of the mopped area closest to the sweeping area is greater than or equal to a second distance between a boundary of the mopping area closest to the mopped area and a boundary of the mopped area closest to the mopping area.
