Abstract: The techniques and systems herein enable robot management in populated areas. Specifically, a vehicle system receives sensor data indicating aspects of an environment proximate a vehicle that comprises the vehicle system. Based on the sensor data, it is determined whether robots are in the environment proximate the vehicle. Responsive to determining that a robot is in the environment proximate the vehicle, attributes of the robot are determined based on the sensor data. A robot message is then generated that includes indications of the attributes of the robot, and the robot message is transmitted for receipt by a robot management system. By using the described techniques, the robot management system can leverage the vast number of vehicles with advanced sensor suites to monitor robots. Doing so may enable verification of routes and identification of robots that are not registered.

Abstract: The techniques and systems herein enable robot management in populated areas. Specifically, a robot management system receives, from a robot system, a requested route and time for the robot system to travel. A dynamic map that includes dynamic and temporal information about an area of the requested route is then used to determine whether the requested route and time are approved, approved with a modified route or time, or disapproved. An approval message, a modified approval message, or a disapproval message is then generated and sent to the robot system. By using the described techniques, municipalities can monitor, manage, and regulate robots across various operators and locations. Doing so may prevent a high density of robots along various routes, disruptions to the services of such robots, and/or disruptions to surrounding pedestrians and vehicles.
