Abstract: A method for instructing operation of a robotic floor-cleaning device based on the position of the robotic floor-cleaning device within a two-dimensional map of the workspace. A two-dimensional map of a workspace is generated using inputs from sensors positioned on a robotic floor-cleaning device to represent the multi-dimensional workspace of the robotic floor-cleaning device. The two-dimensional map is provided to a user on a user interface. A user may adjust the boundaries of the two-dimensional map through the user interface and select settings for map areas to control device operation in various areas of the workspace.

Abstract: Provided is a robot, including: a first actuator; a first sensor; one or more processors communicatively coupled to the first actuator and to the first sensor; and memory storing instructions that when executed by at least some of the one or more processors effectuate operations comprising: determining a first location of the robot in a working environment; obtaining, with the first sensor, first data indicative of an environmental characteristic of the first location; and adjusting a first operational parameter of the first actuator based on the sensed first data, wherein the adjusting is configured to cause the first operational parameter to be in a first adjusted state while the robot is at the first location.

Abstract: Provided is a method and apparatus for combining perceived depths to construct a floor plan using cameras, such as depth cameras. The camera(s) perceive depths from the camera(s) to objects within a first field of view. The camera(s) is rotated to observe a second field of view partly overlapping the first field of view. The camera(s) perceives depths from the camera(s) to objects within the second field of view. The depths from the first and second fields of view are compared to find the area of overlap between the two fields of view. The depths from the two fields of view are then merged at the area of overlap to create a segment of a floor plan. The method is repeated wherein depths are perceived within consecutively overlapping fields of view and are combined to construct a floor plan of the environment as the camera is rotated.

Abstract: Provided is a process, including: obtaining, with one or more processors, first depth data, wherein: the first depth data indicates a first distance from a robot at a first position to a surface of, or in, a workspace in which the robot is disposed, the first depth data indicates a first direction in which the first distance is measured, the first depth data indicates the first distance and the first direction in a frame of reference of the robot, and the frame of reference of the robot is different from a frame of reference of the workspace; translating, with one or more processors, the first depth data into translated first depth data that is in the frame of reference of the workspace; and storing, with one or more processors, the translated first depth data in memory.

Abstract: Provided is a robot-implemented, real-time, process to plan a coverage path, the process including: obtaining environment-sensor data indicating distances from the robot to surfaces in a portion of a working environment; obtaining odometry-sensor data; based on the environment-sensor data and the odometry-sensor data, determining at least a part of a coverage path of the robot through the working environment; and commanding an electric-motor driver to move the robot along the at least part of the path.

Abstract: Integrated bumpers are presented including: a suspension assembly including, a suspension plate coupled with a robotic device chassis along a top surface of the robotic device chassis, a number of radially disposed springs positioned along a portion of a perimeter of the suspension plate and coupled with the suspension plate, and a number of cutouts positioned along the perimeter of the suspension plate; and a cover coupled with the suspension assembly, the cover including, a number of spring anchors coupled with the number of springs, which in some embodiments may be radially disposed, and a number of tabs aligned with the number of cutouts to limit movement of the suspension plate. In some embodiments, integrated bumpers further include: two impact sensors positioned along a second portion of the perimeter, the two impact sensors detecting movement between the suspension assembly and the cover.

Abstract: Provided is a process, including obtaining, with a robot, raw pixel intensity values of a first image and raw pixel intensity values of a second image, wherein the first image and the second image are taken from different positions; determining, with one or more processors, an overlapping area of a field of view of the first image and of a field of view of the second image by comparing the raw pixel intensity values of the first image to the raw pixel intensity values of the second image; spatially, with one or more processors, aligning values based on sensor readings of the robot based on the overlapping area; and inferring, with one or more processors, features of a working environment of the robot based on the spatially aligned sensor readings.
