The present disclosure relates to a liquid container and an autonomous cleaning robot. The liquid container may include a container case and a cleaning cloth that is removable and mounted on the container case. The cleaning cloth may include a first guiding member disposed thereon. The container case may include a second guiding member. The first guiding member and the second guiding member cooperate with each other to define an assembly direction of the cleaning cloth. The cleaning cloth can be installed correctly by defining the assembly direction of the first guiding member and the second guiding member.

An example robot includes a body that is movable relative to a surface, a bumper mounted on the body to enable movement of the bumper relative to the body, a sensor to produce a signal in response to the movement of the bumper relative to the body caused by contact between the bumper and the surface, and a controller to control movement of the body to cause the body to track the surface based on a value. The bumper is movable between an uncompressed position relative to the body and a compressed position relative to the body. The signal varies linearly with the movement of the bumper relative to the body. The value is based on the signal and indicates that the bumper in a partially compressed position has a compression range between the uncompressed position and the compressed position.
