Abstract
Some autonomous cleaning robots include a drive configured to maneuver the autonomous cleaning robot about a floor surface. The robots include a cleaning system to clean the floor surface as the autonomous cleaning robot is maneuvered about the floor surface. The robots include a robot button positioned on the autonomous cleaning robot. The robots include a controller in electrical communication with the drive and the robot button. The controller is configured to perform operations including selecting a behavior of the autonomous cleaning robot from a plurality of behaviors of the autonomous cleaning robot responsive to a duration of actuation of the robot button and causing the autonomous mobile robot to initiate the behavior.
