Abstract
A robotic cleaning device having a main body, a propulsion system configured to move the robotic cleaning device over a surface to be cleaned, a controller configured to control the propulsion system to move the robotic cleaning device over the surface to be cleaned, at least one rotatable side brush arranged to sweep debris from the surface to be cleaned, and a mechanism configured to at least partly retract the at least one rotatable side brush into a space arranged inside the main body upon receiving a control signal from the controller, such that the rotatable side brush is moved out of contact with the surface to be cleaned.
