An autonomous cleaning robot comprising: - a main body, - a cleaning head including a lower face which is configured to be oriented towards a surface to be cleaned, and a suction opening opening into the lower face of the cleaning head, the cleaning head being movably mounted relative to the main body between a deployed position in which the cleaning head is away from the main body and a retracted position in which the cleaning head is brought closer to the main body, - a suction tube which mechanically connects the cleaning head to the main body, the suction tube including a distal end portion (11.1) which is fastened to the cleaning head and which is fluidly connected to the suction opening, - a suction unit which is fastened to the main body and which is configured to generate an air flow through the suction opening and the suction tube, and - a drive mechanism configured to move the cleaning head between the deployed position and the retracted position, characterized in that the drive mechanism includes at least: - a drive cable including a first cable end portion and a second cable end portion, - a motor-driven winding device comprising a winder to which the first cable end portion is fastened and around which the drive cable is intended to be wound, and a drive motor configured to drive the winder in rotation in a first direction of rotation in which the drive cable is configured to be wound around the winder, and according to a second direction of rotation, opposite to the first direction of rotation, in which the drive cable is configured to be unwound from the winder, and - a drive rod which is telescopic and has a rod longitudinal axis, the drive rod being configured to occupy a retracted configuration in which the drive rod has a first rod length and a deployed configuration in which the drive rod has a second rod length longer than the first rod length, the second cable end portion being fastened to the drive rod such that a rotation of the winder in the first direction of rotation causes a movement of the drive rod towards the retracted configuration and such that rotation of the winder in the second direction of rotation causes a movement of the drive rod towards the deployed configuration, and in that the drive mechanism is configured such that a movement of the drive rod between the deployed configuration and the retracted configuration causes a movement of the cleaning head between the deployed position and the retracted position. - a main body, - a cleaning head including a lower face which is configured to be oriented towards a surface to be cleaned, and a suction opening opening into the lower face of the cleaning head, the cleaning head being movably mounted relative to the main body between a deployed position in which the cleaning head is away from the main body and a retracted position in which the cleaning head is brought closer to the main body, - a suction tube which mechanically connects the cleaning head to the main body, the suction tube including a distal end portion (11.1) which is fastened to the cleaning head and which is fluidly connected to the suction opening, - a suction unit which is fastened to the main body and which is configured to generate an air flow through the suction opening and the suction tube, and - a drive mechanism configured to move the cleaning head between the deployed position and the retracted position, - a drive cable including a first cable end portion and a second cable end portion, - a motor-driven winding device comprising a winder to which the first cable end portion is fastened and around which the drive cable is intended to be wound, and a drive motor configured to drive the winder in rotation in a first direction of rotation in which the drive cable is configured to be wound around the winder, and according to a second direction of rotation, opposite to the first direction of rotation, in which the drive cable is configured to be unwound from the winder, and - a drive rod which is telescopic and has a rod longitudinal axis, the drive rod being configured to occupy a retracted configuration in which the drive rod has a first rod length and a deployed configuration in which the drive rod has a second rod length longer than the first rod length, the second cable end portion being fastened to the drive rod such that a rotation of the winder in the first direction of rotation causes a movement of the drive rod towards the retracted configuration and such that rotation of the winder in the second direction of rotation causes a movement of the drive rod towards the deployed configuration, and in that the drive mechanism is configured such that a movement of the drive rod between the deployed configuration and the retracted configuration causes a movement of the cleaning head between the deployed position and the retracted position.
