Abstract: Various embodiments include processing devices and methods for managing cleaning behavior by a cleaning robot. In some embodiments, a processor of the cleaning robot may obtain user planning information and user location information from one or more information sources external to the cleaning robot. The processor may analyze the user planning information and the user location information. The processor may determine one or more cleaning parameters for the cleaning robot based on the analysis of the user planning information and the user location information. The processor may generate an instruction for the cleaning robot to schedule an operation of the cleaning robot based on the one or more cleaning parameters. The processor may execute the generated instruction to perform the operation of the cleaning robot.

Abstract: Various embodiments include processing devices and methods for managing cleaning robot behavior. In some embodiments, a processor of the cleaning robot may obtain one or more images of the location of a structure from a camera external to the cleaning robot. The processor may analyze the one or more images of the location. The processor may determine one or more activity parameters of the location based on the analysis of the one or more images of the location. The processor may generate an instruction for the cleaning robot to schedule an operation of the cleaning robot based on the one or more activity parameters. The processor may execute the generated instruction to perform the operation of the cleaning robot.

Abstract: Some embodiments include methods for customizing operation of the robotic vehicle for an operator. Such embodiments may include identifying a current operator of the robotic vehicle, configuring the robotic vehicle based on metadata associated with an operator profile for the operator, determining whether the operator has changed, and if so, identifying the new operator, deriving updated preference-based settings and performance-based settings for the new operator, and updating configurations of the robotic vehicle accordingly. Some embodiments may include identifying a current operator, retrieving an operator profile and associated metadata for the operator from a central database, configuring the robotic vehicle based on preference-based and performance-based settings, analyzing input data during operation, storing identified real-time operator habit information during operation of the robotic vehicle, deriving updated preference-based and performance-based settings for the operator; and uploading to the central database modifications to the metadata associated with the operator profile of the operator.

Abstract: Embodiments include methods performed by a processor of a robotic vehicle for detecting and responding to obstructions to an on-board imaging device that includes an image sensor. Various embodiments may include causing the imaging device to capture at least one image, determining whether an obstruction to the imaging device is detected based at least in part on the at least one captured image, and, in response to determining that an obstruction to the imaging device is detected, identifying an area of the image sensor corresponding to the obstruction and masking image data received from the identified area of the image sensor.
