Abstract: A method of operating a mobile cleaning robot in an environment can include detecting, such as using an optical stream from the mobile cleaning robot, a seasonal object located in the environment. A seasonal cleaning zone can be created based on the detected seasonal object when a current date is within a specified date range. The seasonal cleaning zone can be displayed on a map of the environment.

Abstract: A method includes receiving mapping data collected by an autonomous cleaning robot as the autonomous cleaning robot moves about an environment. A portion of the mapping data is indicative of a location of an object in the environment. The method includes defining a clean zone at the location of the object such that the autonomous cleaning robot initiates a clean behavior constrained to the clean zone in response to encountering the clean zone in the environment.

Abstract: A mobile computing device includes a user input device and a controller. The user input device includes a display, and the controller is operably connected to the user input device and configured to execute instructions to perform operations. The operations include presenting on the display, information about one or more areas that were not cleaned by an autonomous cleaning robot during a first mission. The operations further include transmitting data corresponding to a user-selected subset of the one or more areas to cause the robot to clean the user-selected subset during a second mission.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for scheduling and controlling a mobile robot based on user location, user behavior, or other contextual information. In an example, a mobile cleaning robot comprises a drive system configured to move the mobile cleaning robot about an environment in a user's residence, and a controller circuit configured to receive an indication of a user entering or exiting a pre-defined geographical zone with respect to a location of the user's residence. Such indication may be detected using location and geofencing services of a mobile device. Based on the indication of the user entering or exiting the geofence, the controller circuit may generate a motion control signal to navigate the mobile cleaning robot to conduct a mission in the environment.

Abstract: A method of prioritizing cleaning of rooms of an environment for a mobile cleaning robot can include generating a cleanliness score for each room of the environment using a controller. Each of the cleanliness scores can be indicative of an amount of debris expected in each respective room by the mobile cleaning robot. The method can also include generating a room cleaning priority based at least partially on the cleanliness score of each of the rooms. The method can also include scheduling operations of the mobile cleaning robot for a planned mission based on the room cleaning priority of each of the rooms of the environment.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for validating location of a docking station for docking a mobile robot. In an example, a mobile robot system includes a docking station and a mobile cleaning robot. The mobile cleaning robot includes a drive system to move the mobile cleaning robot about an environment including a docking area within a distance of the docking station, and a controller circuit to detect, from an image of the docking area, a presence or absence of one or more obstacles in the docking area. A notification may be generated to inform a user about the detected obstacles. The mobile device may generate a recommendation to the user to clear the docking area or reposition the docking station, or suggest one or more candidate locations for placing the docking station.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for scheduling and controlling a mobile robot using a textual and user experienced-based mission routine. In an example, a mobile cleaning robot comprises a drive system to move the mobile cleaning robot about an environment, a sensor circuit to detect an object in the environment, and a controller circuit to receive a mission routine including data representing an editable schedule including at least one of time or order for performing one or more cleaning tasks with respect to a semantically annotated object that include spatial or contextual information of the detected object, or with respect to user experience or user behavior. The controller circuit navigates the mobile cleaning robot to conduct a mission in accordance with the mission routine.
