摘要： Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for ensuring that mobile robots are able to detect and avoid positive obstacles in a physical environment that are typically hard to detect because the obstacles do not exist in the same plane or planes as the mobile robot's horizontally-oriented obstacle detecting lasers. Embodiments of the present invention also help to ensure that mobile robots are able to detect and avoid driving into negative obstacles, such as gaps or holes in the floor, or a flight of stairs. Thus, the invention provides positive and negative obstacle avoidance systems for mobile robots.

摘要翻译： 本发明的实施例提供了用于确保移动机器人能够在通常难以检测的物理环境中检测和避免正面障碍物的方法和系统，因为障碍物不存在于与移动机器人水平位置相同的平面或平面中， 定向障碍物检测激光器。 本发明的实施例还有助于确保移动机器人能够检测并避免驾驶到负面障碍物，例如地板中的间隙或孔或楼梯。 因此，本发明提供了用于移动机器人的正和负的障碍物回避系统。
