摘要: A robot for delivering items within a building or within a prescribed radius of a building are provided. A method comprises receiving a task indicating a non-stationary origin and a destination; identifying a current location of the non-stationary origin by interrogating a remote computer associated with the non-stationary origin for the current location of the non-stationary origin; moving towards the current location of the non-stationary origin; determining that the non-stationary origin has changed location by interrogating the remote computer associated with the non-stationary origin for an updated current location of the non-stationary origin; predicting a next location of the non-stationary origin using an artificial intelligence prediction algorithm; determining that the robot has arrived at the origin; detecting an interaction with the robot that is associated with introducing an item to or removing an item from a storage compartment in the robot; moving towards the destination inside of the building.

摘要: A method can include, by operation of a control system for a robot, autonomously navigating to an elevator car location; by operation of at least one sensor on the robot, identifying an elevator call button; by operation of a movement system of the robot, positioning the robot proximate to the call button; extending a rising member vertically from the robot; rotating the robot to align a pushing member with the call button; and using sensor information from the robot, extending the pushing member from the rising member to contact and activate the call button. Corresponding devices and systems are also disclosed.

摘要: A method for constraining movements of a robot comprises: obtaining digitally stored dynamic building data describing a set of one or more temporary conditions, the dynamic building data comprising, for each temporary condition of the set of one or more temporary conditions, a location of the temporary condition and a description of the temporary location; updating, from the dynamic building data, digital cost data associated with one or more features of a digital map by calculating, for each temporary condition of the set of one or more temporary conditions, an increased cost of navigation associated with the location of the temporary condition; in response to receiving a task that is associated with a destination location, determining a route of the robot to the destination location using the digital map based in part upon the location of each temporary condition and the increased cost associated with the location, the route not including at least a location of a particular temporary condition of the set of one or more temporary conditions; causing the robot to traverse to the destination location using the route.
