Abstract: A method in a computing device includes: storing an initial map representing objects within a facility; receiving sensor data from a mobile robot deployed in the facility, the sensor data representing a portion of the facility within a field of view of the mobile robot; determining, based on the received sensor data, whether a map update criterion is satisfied; in response to determining that the map update criterion is satisfied, generating a map update representing updated objects within the facility; applying the map update to the initial map to generate an updated map; and storing the updated map.

Abstract: A controller of a barcode reader is disclosed. The controller may receive, via a user input, a charge threshold associated with presenting a battery level indicator on the display panel. The controller may monitor, during a charging operation, a state of charge of the battery. The controller may determine that the state of charge satisfies the charge threshold. The controller may cause, during the charging operation, the display panel to indicate the battery level indicator.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for adjusting imaging parameters of a bioptic barcode reader. The method includes capturing, by an imaging assembly, an initial image of a target object having an indicia thereon. The imaging assembly captures the initial image according to an initial imaging parameter. The method further includes attempting to decode the indicia from the initial image, and responsive to being unable to decode the indicia, detecting a substantially static presence of the target object within a field of view (FOV) of the imaging assembly. The method then includes, responsive to detecting the substantially static presence of the target object within the FOV, adjusting the initial imaging parameter to a subsequent imaging parameter, wherein the subsequent imaging parameter is different than the initial imaging parameter.

Abstract: A method in a navigational controller includes: obtaining (i) a plurality of task fragments identifying respective sets of sub-regions in a facility, and (ii) an identifier of a task to be performed by a mobile automation apparatus at each of the sets of sub-regions; selecting an active one of the task fragments according to a sequence specifying an order of execution of the task fragments; generating a path including (i) a taxi portion from a current position of the mobile automation apparatus to the sub-regions identified by the active task fragment, and (ii) an execution portion traversing the sub-regions identified by the active task fragment; during travel along the taxi portion, determining, based on a current pose of the mobile automation apparatus, whether to initiate execution of another task fragment; and when the determination is affirmative, updating the sequence to mark the other task fragment as the active task fragment.
