An autonomous coverage robot includes a chassis, a drive system configured to maneuver the robot, and a cleaning assembly. The cleaning assembly includes a cleaning assembly housing and at least one driven sweeper brush. The robot includes a controller and a removable sweeper bin configured to receive debris agitated by the driven sweeper brush. The sweeper bin includes an emitter disposed on an interior surface of the bin and a receiver disposed remotely from the emitter on the interior surface of the bin and configured to receive an emitter signal. The emitter and the receiver are disposed such that a threshold level of accumulation of debris in the sweeper bin blocks the receiver from receiving emitter emissions. The robot includes a bin controller disposed in the sweeper bin and monitoring a detector signal and initiating a bin full routine upon determining a bin debris accumulation level requiring service.

An autonomous coverage robot comprising: a chassis;a drive system mounted on the chassis and configured to maneuver the robot;a cleaning assembly carried by the chassis and comprising: a cleaning assembly housing; andat least one driven sweeper coupled to the cleaning assembly housing;a controlle
1. An autonomous coverage robot comprising: a chassis;a drive system mounted on the chassis and configured to maneuver the robot;a cleaning assembly carried by the chassis and comprising: a cleaning assembly housing; andat least one driven sweeper coupled to the cleaning assembly housing;a controller carried by the chassis;a removable bin attached to the chassis and configured to receive debris agitated by the driven sweeper, the removable bin comprising: an emitter disposed on an interior surface of the bin; anda receiver disposed on the interior surface of the bin, and configured to receive a signal emitted by the emitter, the emitter and the receiver disposed such that a threshold level of accumulation of debris in the bin attenuates emissions received by the receiver from the emitter;anda bin controller monitoring a signal from the detector and initiating a bin full routine upon determining a bin debris accumulation level requiring service, wherein the emitter and the receiver are disposed proximate to one another on the same interior surface of the bin, the removable bin further comprising: a vacuum assembly having an at least partially separate entrance path into the bin; anda plurality of teeth disposed substantially along a mouth of the bin between a sweeper bin portion and a vacuum bin portion housing the vacuum assembly, the teeth configured to strip debris from the rotating sweeper brush, the debris being allowed to accumulate in the sweeper bin portion. 2. The autonomous coverage robot of claim 1 further comprising a diffuser positioned over the emitter to diffuse the emitted signal, the receiver receiving the diffused emissions, wherein accumulation of debris in the bin at least partially blocks the diffused emissions from being received by the receiver. 3. The autonomous coverage robot of claim 2 wherein the emitter comprises an infrared light emitter diffused by a translucent plastic sheet. 4. The autonomous coverage robot of claim 1 wherein the emitter is disposed on a first interior lateral surface of the bin and the receiver is disposed on an opposing, second interior lateral surface of the bin. 5. The autonomous coverage robot of claim 4 wherein the emitter and the receiver are arranged for a determination of debris accumulation within substantially an entire volume of the bin. 6. The autonomous coverage robot of claim 1 further comprising a human perceptible indicator configured to provide an indication that autonomous operation may be interrupted for bin servicing. 7. The autonomous coverage robot of claim 1 further comprising: a remote indicator in wireless communication with the controller and providing an indication of the cleaning service requirement determined by the controller, wherein the emitter and the receiver are disposed proximate to one another on the same interior surface of the bin. 8. The coverage robot bin-full detection system of claim 1 wherein the emitter comprises an infrared light emitter. 9. The coverage robot bin-full detection system of claim 7 wherein the controller is configured to determine a robot stuck condition and communicates the robot stuck condition to the wireless remote indicator. 10. The coverage robot bin-full detection system of claim 7 wherein the remote indicator is configured to communicate commands to the bin controller. 11. The coverage robot bin-full detection system of claim 7 wherein the bin controller communicates with a controller of the robot. 12. An autonomous coverage robot comprising: a chassis;a drive system mounted on the chassis and configured to maneuver the robot;a cleaning assembly carried by the chassis and comprising:a cleaning assembly housing; andat least one driven sweeper brush rotatably coupled to the cleaning assembly housing;a controller carried by the chassis;a removable bin attached to the chassis and configured to receive debris agitated by the driven sweeper brush, the removable bin comprising:an emitter disposed on an interior surface of the bin; anda receiver disposed remotely from the emitter on the interior surface of the bin, and configured to receive a signal emitted by the emitter, the emitter and the receiver disposed such that a threshold level of accumulation of debris in the bin blocks the receiver from receiving emissions from the emitter; anda bin controller disposed in the bin and monitoring a signal from the detector and initiating a bin full routine upon determining a bin debris accumulation level requiring service, the bin further comprising: a vacuum assembly having an at least partially separate entrance path into the bin anda plurality of teeth disposed substantially along a mouth of the bin between a sweeper bin portion and a vacuum bin portion housing the vacuum assembly, the teeth configured to strip debris from the rotating sweeper brush, the debris being allowed to accumulate in the sweeper bin portion; anda remote indicator in wireless communication with the controller and providing an indication of the cleaning service requirement determined by the controller. 13. The autonomous coverage robot of claim 12 further comprising a diffuser positioned over the emitter to diffuse the emitted signal, the receiver receiving the diffused emissions, wherein accumulation of debris in the bin at least partially blocks the diffused emissions from being received by the receiver. 14. The autonomous coverage robot of claim 13 wherein the emitter comprises an infrared light emitter diffused by a translucent plastic sheet. 15. The autonomous coverage robot of claim 12 wherein the emitter is disposed on a first interior lateral surface of the bin and the receiver is disposed on an opposing, second interior lateral surface of the bin. 16. The autonomous coverage robot of claim 15 wherein the emitter and the receiver are arranged for a determination of debris accumulation within substantially an entire volume of the bin. 17. The autonomous coverage robot of claim 12 further comprising a human perceptible indicator configured to provide an indication that autonomous operation may be interrupted for bin servicing.
