    Abstract: Systems and methods related to roadmaps for mobile robotic devices are provided. A computing device can determine a roadmap that includes a first intersection associated with first and second edges. The computing device can determine an edge interaction region (EIR) surrounding the first intersection that includes portions of the first and second edges, where a traversal region on the first edge portion can overlap a traversal region on the second edge portion. The computing device can determine first and second sub-edges of the first edge; the first sub-edge within the EIR and the second sub-edge outside the EIR. The computing device can receive a request to determine a route, determine the route specifying travel along the first sub-edge with a first rule set and along the second sub-edge with a second rule set, and provide the route.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for spatiotemporal reservations for robots. In various implementations, a sequence of spatial regions of an environment, and a sequence of respective time intervals that are reserved for a robot to operate within the sequence of spatial regions, may be reserved for the robot. A default path through the sequence of spatial regions may be identified. During traversal of the default path, it may be determined that the default path will be unpassable by the robot through a given spatial region during a given time interval reserved for the robot to operate within the given spatial region. Thus, an alternative path through the given spatial region that is traversable by the robot during the given time interval may be identified. The robot may then be traversed along the alternative path through the given spatial region within the given time interval.

    Abstract: An example system includes a vehicle and a sensor connected to the vehicle. The system may receive a predetermined path for the vehicle to follow. The system may also receive a plurality of objectives, associated with a corresponding set of sensor data, for which to collect sensor data. The system may determine, for each of the plurality of objectives, a portion of the environment for the sensor to scan to acquire the corresponding set of sensor data. The system may determine, based on the portion of the environment determined for each of the plurality of objectives, a sensor trajectory through which to move the sensor. The system may cause the sensor to move through the determined sensor trajectory and scan portions of the environment corresponding to the determined sensor trajectory as the vehicle moves along the predetermined path.

    Abstract: An example system may include a vehicle, a sensor, and a control system that may determine a target location for an object carried by the vehicle. The control system may also determine a plurality of points defining a boundary of a volume to be occupied by the object at the target location. The plurality of points may be scannable in a sequence by the sensor to scan the volume. The control system may additionally determine a respective field of visibility to each respective point. Further, the control system may determine a path for the vehicle to follow to the target location. The respective field of visibility may intersect with at least a respective portion of the determined path such that each respective point is observable by the sensor along at least the respective portion of the determined path as the vehicle moves along the determined path to the target location.
