Zusammenfassung:A robot floor cleaning system (10,10') features a mobile floor cleaning robot (100,100') and an evacuation station (200,200'). The robot includes: a chassis (102) with at least one drive wheel (142a, 142b) operable to propel the robot across a floor surface; a cleaning bin ( 122, 122 ', 122") disposed within the robot and arranged to receive debris ingested by the robot during cleaning; and a robot vacuum (120) configured to pull debris into the cleaning bin from an opening (109,109') on an underside of the robot. The evacuation station is configured to evacuate debris from the cleaning bin of the robot, and includes: a housing (202,202') defining a platform (206,206') for receiving the cleaning robot with the opening on the underside of the robot aligned with a suction opening (216) of the platform; and an evacuation vacuum (212) operable to draw air into the evacuation station housing through the suction opening.
