An aircraft cleaning robot comprises a robot arm (14); a brush (34) rotatably attached to the robot arm (14) to be rotated about a brush rotation axis (R); and a controller (56) configured to control the position of the cleaning head (32), wherein the aircraft cleaning robot (10) is configured to automatically orient the brush (34) such that a cleaning face (37) of the cleaning head (32) is aligned with the surface being brushed; and the controller (56) is configured to, based on input from the robot arm (14) and/or cleaning head (32), determine a cleaning direction in which the cleaning face (37) is presently facing; and, based on the determined cleaning direction, operate the robot arm (14) along the cleaning direction to apply a brush engagement pressure in said cleaning direction.
