Abstract: A method includes: storing, at a mobile robot, a local repository of self-assigned task definitions; determining, at a processor of the mobile robot, that a local activity metric associated with tasks assigned to the mobile robot by a central server meets an idle criterion; in response to determining that the local activity metric meets the idle criterion, selecting, by the processor, one of the self-assigned task definitions from the local repository; and initiating execution of a self-assigned task corresponding to the selected self-assigned task definition at the mobile robot.

Abstract: A method includes: storing an occupancy map for a facility, the occupancy map defining: for each of a plurality of regions in the facility, a current occupancy for a present time value, and for each of at least a subset of the regions, a future occupancy for a subsequent time value; generating a path from a current pose of a mobile robot in the facility to a target pose, based on the current and future occupancies; in response to execution of the path at the mobile robot, capturing sensor data representing a vicinity of the mobile robot; detecting an obstacle from the sensor data; and transmitting occupancy data for generating an updated occupancy map including an updated future occupancy for at least one of the subset of regions, the occupancy data including obstacle data indicating a location of the obstacle, and path data defining the path.

Abstract: A method includes: at a mobile robot, travelling according to a current path; using a sensor of the mobile robot, capturing sensor data representing a vicinity of the mobile robot; detecting, based on the sensor data, an obstacle obstructing the current path; in response to detecting the obstacle, outputting a request for a status change corresponding to the obstacle; receiving at the mobile robot, in response to the request for a status change, data defining an updated status of the obstacle; selecting, based on the updated status data, a navigational action between (i) continuing to travel according to the current path and (ii) generating a new path circumventing the obstacle; and executing the selected navigational action.
