Take a look inside iRobot's simple robot that cleans up:
Meghan Baciu, FictivMassachusetts Institute of Technology, you can bet they’ll create some innovative products. iRobot, famed for the Roomba robo-vac, is arguably the company that created the market for robots that clean.
The Braava needs a way to stop working when it loses contact with the floor. When the Braava is functioning, the floor places pressure upwards on the rubber pads, which presses arms into the enclosure. On the topside of the enclosure , there is an IR emitter and receiver. As long as the connection between the emitter and receiver is broken by the embossed feature on the backside of the arm, the Braava will continue to operate.
Braava maintains three points of contact, with two rear wheels and one large surface that acts as the mop portion. To ensure even contact with the floor, there are two degrees of freedom created with a mechanical rod-and-bearing and a spring suspension. The engineers kept costs low by doing some manual assembly, including the heat staked magnets and the glued-on foam barrier for the mop attachment. To lower costs even more, the main body is made of ABS. Around the edges is a light texture and foam bumpers to help cover up some of the inevitable scuff marks.
