    Abstract: Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for validating location of a docking station for docking a mobile robot. In an example, a mobile robot system includes a docking station and a mobile cleaning robot. The mobile cleaning robot includes a drive system to move the mobile cleaning robot about an environment including a docking area within a distance of the docking station, and a controller circuit to detect, from an image of the docking area, a presence or absence of one or more obstacles in the docking area. A notification may be generated to inform a user about the detected obstacles. The mobile device may generate a recommendation to the user to clear the docking area or reposition the docking station, or suggest one or more candidate locations for placing the docking station.

    Abstract: Described herein are systems, devices, and methods for controlling a mobile cleaning robot to escape from a stuck state using a learned robot escape behavior model. The model is trained using reinforcement learning at a cloud-computing device or networked devices. A mobile cleaning robot comprises a drive system, a sensor circuit to collect sensor data associated with a detected stuck state, and a controller circuit that can receive the trained robot escape behavior model, and apply the sensor data associated with the detected stuck state to the trained robot escape behavior model to determine an escape policy. The drive system or one or more actuators of the mobile robot can remove the mobile robot from the stuck state according to the determined escape policy.
