Abstract: Various embodiments include methods for performing temperature calibration of a first temperature sensitive unit with an electronic device having a first processing unit that is thermally coupled to the first temperature sensitive unit. Various embodiments may include determining a current temperature of the first temperature sensitive unit, determining a processing load for the first processing unit based on the current temperature and a target temperature, applying the determined processing load to the first processing unit to vary a temperature of the first temperature sensitive unit, and determining a temperature bias for the first temperature sensitive unit at the temperature of the first temperature sensitive unit based on an output of the first temperature sensitive unit.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for robotic navigation are described. A robotic device such as a robotic vacuum or a robotic assistant may navigate a first surface. In some cases, navigating the first surface may include removing debris from the first surface. The robotic device may identify a location of a track that connects the first surface to a second surface that is vertically displaced from the first surface. The robotic device may engage the track based at least in part on the identified location. The robotic device may ascend to the second surface by activating an actuator and navigate the second surface (e.g., may remove debris from the second surface, may map the second surface, etc.).

Abstract: Various embodiments include processing devices and methods for managing cleaning robot behavior. In some embodiments, a processor of the cleaning robot may obtain one or more images of the location of a structure from a camera external to the cleaning robot. The processor may analyze the one or more images of the location. The processor may determine one or more activity parameters of the location based on the analysis of the one or more images of the location. The processor may generate an instruction for the cleaning robot to schedule an operation of the cleaning robot based on the one or more activity parameters. The processor may execute the generated instruction to perform the operation of the cleaning robot.

In some embodiments, a processor of the cleaning robot may obtain one or more images of the location of a structure from a camera external to the cleaning robot. The processor may analyze the one or more images of the location. The processor may determine one or more mess parameters of a mess in the location based on the analysis of the one or more images of the location. The processor may generate an instruction for the cleaning robot to schedule an operation of the cleaning robot based on the one or more mess parameters. The processor may execute the generated instruction to perform the operation of the cleaning robot.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for debris permutation are described. A robotic device may identify a cleaning trigger for a first surface region (e.g., a cleaning schedule, a notification from a remote device). The robotic device may activate one or more rotors o based at least in part on the surface cleaning trigger and move to an aerial position proximal to (e.g., above, diagonal to) the first surface region using the one or more rotors. The device may displace debris from the first surface region to a second surface region using a pressurized air stream.

Abstract: Aspects may augment a robotic vehicle with one or more virtual features. In some implementations, streaming video including a first-person view (FPV) of a robotic vehicle is presented on a display of a controller as the robotic vehicle traverses a course. A virtual object may be presented on the display of the vehicle controller, and a virtual contact between the robotic vehicle and the virtual object may be detected. If the virtual object is a virtual obstacle, the robotic vehicle may be penalized for making virtual contact with the virtual obstacle. If the virtual object is a virtual reward, the robotic vehicle may be rewarded for making virtual contact with the virtual reward.

Abstract: Aspects may define a race course using a plurality of gates each including a fiducial marker that encodes a location, an ordering, and a pose of the corresponding gate. Each of the gates may include an opening through which robotic vehicles participating in a race may traverse, and a flight path may be defined through the opening of the gates. Each fiducial marker may be displayed around a perimeter of the opening of a corresponding gate, and may include a unique pattern that conveys the location, ordering, and pose of the corresponding gate to video cameras provided on the robotic vehicles. A pilot may use the fiducial markers presented on the gates to navigate the robotic vehicle through the race course, for example, so that the pilot may not need to rely solely upon the first-person view provided by the streaming video transmitted from the robotic vehicle.

Abstract: Embodiments include devices and methods for vehicle collision avoidance. A processor of the vehicle may receive sensor data comprising one or more points. The processor may determine a distance and a direction from the vehicle to the one or more points. The processor may determine a velocity constraint for each of the one or more points based on the determined distance and direction from the vehicle to the one or more points. Based on a navigation instruction, the processor may determine one or more velocity solutions that satisfy the one or more velocity constraints. The processor may select a velocity solution from the determined one or more velocity solutions based on the navigation instruction, and may adjust a vehicle velocity based on the selected velocity solution.
