Abstract
Debris signature-based robotic cleaning device navigation includes operating the robotic cleaning device in a first mode as part of a vacuum cycle, the device including suction ports configurable for different suction power levels and each port having a suction path along which debris entering through the suction port is collected by the device. In the first operating mode the suction ports are operated at a first suction power level. The navigation also includes changing operation of the device to a second mode and in which the suction ports are operated at a greater suction power, measuring a respective amount of debris collected through each suction port, and selecting a direction in which to navigate the robotic cleaning device based on the debris measurements.
