    摘要: A method for operating a mobile robotic device, including: selecting, by the processor, actions of the mobile robotic device as the mobile robotic device navigates through a workspace, wherein: at least a portion of the actions transitions the mobile robotic device from a current state to a next state; and each state of the mobile robotic device comprises at least a location of the mobile robotic device within the workspace; actuating, by the processor, the mobile robotic device to execute the actions; detecting, by the processor, whether a collision or a stuck event is experienced by the mobile robotic device; and associating, by the processor, a collision or a stuck event to a location within the workspace in which the collision or the stuck event occurred.

    摘要: A robotic cleaner executing operations such as capturing data indicative of locations of objects in a workspace through which the robot moves; generating or updating a map of at least a part of the workspace based on at least the data; and navigating based on the map or an updated map of the workspace. The robotic cleaner may include a side brush with a main body with at least one attachment point and at least one bundle of bristles attached to the at least one attachment point of the main body.

    摘要: A method for an autonomous robot to empty refuse. A sensor positioned on the robot captures sensor data of an environment of the robot as the robot navigates within the environment and a processor of the robot generates a map of the environment based on at least the sensor data. The processor receives a schedule for emptying refuse stored in a container of the robot at a refuse collection location from an application of a communication device. The processor determines a path of the robot from a storage location of the robot to the refuse collection location and actuates the robot to autonomously drive along the path according to the schedule.

    摘要: Provided is a mobile robotic device, including at least: a plurality of sensors; a processor; and a tangible, non-transitory, machine readable medium storing instructions that when executed by the processor effectuates operations comprising: selecting, by the processor, one or more actions to navigate through a workspace, wherein each action transitions the mobile robotic device from a current state to a next state; actuating, by the processor, the mobile robotic device to execute the selected one or more actions; detecting, by the processor, whether a collision is incurred by the mobile robotic device for each action executed; and, assigning, by the processor, each collision to a location within a map of the workspace wherein the location corresponds to where the respective collision occurred.
