Abstract: Methods and apparatus for performing automated inspection of one or more assets in an environment using a mobile robot are provided. The method, comprises defining, within an image captured by a sensor of a robot, a region of interest that includes an asset in an environment of the robot, wherein the asset is associated with an asset identifier, configuring at least one parameter of a computer vision model based on the asset identifier, processing image data within the region of interest using the computer vision model to determine whether an alert should be generated, and outputting the alert when it is determined that the alert should be generated.

Abstract: A method includes obtaining, from an operator of a robot, a return execution lease associated with one or more commands for controlling the robot that is scheduled within a sequence of execution leases. The robot is configured to execute commands associated with a current execution lease that is an earliest execution lease in the sequence of execution leases that is not expired. The method includes obtaining an execution lease expiration trigger triggering expiration of the current execution lease. After obtaining the trigger, the method includes determining that the return execution lease is a next current execution lease in the sequence. While the return execution lease is the current execution lease, the method includes executing the one or more commands for controlling the robot associated with the return execution lease which cause the robot to navigate to a return location remote from a current location of the robot.

Abstract: A method tor controlling a robot includes receiving image data from at least one image sensor. The image data corresponds to an environment about the robot. The method also includes executing a graphical user interface configured to display a scene of the environment based on the image data and receive an input indication indicating selection of a pixel location within the scene. The method also includes determining a pointing vector based on the selection of the pixel location. The pointing vector represents a direction of travel for navigating the robot in the environment. The method also includes transmitting a waypoint command to the robot. The waypoint command when received by the robot causes the robot to navigate to a target location. The target location is based on an intersection between the pointing vector and a terrain estimate of the robot.
