    摘要: Systems and methods for systems and methods for real time calibration of multiple range sensors on a robot are disclosed herein. According to at least one non-limiting exemplary embodiment, methods for self-calibration are used to independently correct rotational errors in a pose of a sensor. In some instances, the self-calibration may further yield errors along at least one translational axis. According to at least one non-limiting exemplary embodiment, methods for cross-calibration are used to correct translational errors and to ensure all sensors on a robot agree on perceived locations of objects.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods for training and operating of robotic appliances. Robotic appliance may be operable to clean user premises. The user may train the appliance to perform cleaning operations in constrained areas. The appliance may be configured to clean other area of the premises automatically. The appliance may perform premises exploration and/or determine map of the premises. The appliance may be provided priority information associated with areas of the premises. The appliance may perform cleaning operations in order of the priority. Robotic vacuum cleaner appliance may be configured for safe cable operation wherein the controller may determine one or more potential obstructions (e.g., a cable) along operating trajectory. Upon approaching the cable, the controller may temporarily disable brushing mechanism in order to prevent cable damage.
