Abstract: Movement of an autonomously motile device may be controlled by a user device. The user device may display image data captured by a camera of the autonomously motile device; a user may provide input, such as a touch gesture on a display screen, indicating a command for the autonomously motile device to move to a location indicated by the input. The autonomously motile device determines a coordinate of the input and a time of the touch input; the autonomously motile device then determines a direction and distance of a corresponding movement.

Abstract: An autonomous mobile device (AMD) moves in a physical space and uses a dock located at a first pose. Sometimes a user may move the dock. To determine whether the dock has moved, the AMD compares first pose data that was previously obtained while at the dock in the first pose to second pose data, such as after a restart or after leaving the dock. If a difference between the first pose and the second pose is greater than a threshold, the dock has moved. The pose data may be determined using a simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithm to process images from cameras on the AMD. Transform data that relates coordinates of the second pose to coordinates of the first pose may be determined. If the dock is used as an origin for a map of the physical space, the transform data may be used to update the map.
