    Abstract: An example method of coordinating a mobile robot with a worker to access a task location of a task includes: obtaining the task location of the task for the mobile robot; defining a restricted region about the task location, the restricted region defining a region in which the mobile robot is restricted from stopping; identifying a worker access zone of the restricted region, the worker access zone for the worker to enter the restricted region to access the task location; determining a stop pose for the mobile robot, wherein the stop pose includes a stop position outside the restricted region and selected to avoid obstructing the worker access zone; and directing the mobile robot to the stop pose for completion of the task.

    Abstract: A computing device with an output assembly and microphone stores: an input mechanism identifier corresponding to a client application and indicating one of several input mechanisms; and speech recognition engine interfaces, executable independently of the client application to control respective speech recognition engines. The device executes the client application to generate a request for input data; responsive to the request generation, retrieves the input mechanism identifier; when the input mechanism identifier indicates a predetermined engine, provides the request to a corresponding speech recognition engine interface; executes the corresponding interface to control the predetermined engine to obtain audio data via the microphone, for conversion of the audio data to input data by the predetermined engine; receives the input data at the corresponding interface from the predetermined engine; returns the input data to the client application; and executes the client application to control the output assembly to present the input data.
