US 2026/0191386 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ACTIVE SUSPENSION FOR A ROBOTIC CLEANING DEVICE

Abstract

A method of controlling a robotic cleaning device. The method includes detecting, via one or more sensors, a soiled area in on a target surface for cleaning. The method includes activating an active suspension system to reduce the distance between a chassis of the robotic cleaning device and the target surface, thereby increasing pressure applied by a cleaning pad mounted to the chassis of the robotic cleaning device. The method includes monitoring, via one or more processors, one or more parameters of the robotic cleaning device to determine whether the one or more parameters is outside a threshold parameter range. The method includes adjusting the active suspension system if the one or more parameters is outside the threshold parameter range, and deactivating the active suspension system when the soiled area on the target surface is detected to be cleaned.
