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: Methods, devices and systems enable controlling an autonomous vehicle by identifying vehicles that are within a threshold distance of the autonomous vehicle, determining an autonomous capability metric of each of the identified vehicles, and adjusting a driving parameter of the autonomous vehicle based on the determined autonomous capability metric of each of the identified vehicles. Embodiments may further include determining, based on the determined ACMs, whether one or more identified vehicles would provide an operational advantage to the autonomous vehicle in a cooperative driving engagement, and initiating a cooperative driving engagement with the one or more identified vehicles in response to determining that the one or more identified vehicles would provide an operational advantage to the autonomous vehicle in a cooperative driving engagement.

Abstract: Various embodiments include devices and methods for navigating a robotic vehicle within an environment. In various embodiments, a first image frame is captured using a first exposure setting and a second image frame is captured using a second exposure setting. A plurality of points may be identified from the first image frame and the second image frame. A first visual tracker may be assigned to a first set of the plurality of points and a second visual tracker may be assigned to a second set of the plurality of points. Navigational data may be generated based on results of the first visual tracker and the second visual tracker. The robotic vehicle may be controlled to navigate within the environment using the navigation data.

Abstract: Embodiments include devices and methods operating a robotic vehicle. A robotic vehicle processor may detect an object posing an imminent risk of collision with the robotic vehicle. The robotic vehicle processor may determine a classification of the detected object. The robotic vehicle processor may manage a rotation of a rotor of the robotic vehicle prior to a collision based on the classification of the object.

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: Disclosed are techniques for annotating image frames using information from a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor. An exemplary method includes receiving, from the LiDAR sensor, at least one LiDAR frame, receiving, from a camera sensor, at least one image frame, removing LiDAR points that represent a ground surface of the environment, identifying LiDAR points of interest in the at least one LiDAR frame, segmenting the LiDAR points of interest to identify at least one object of interest in the at least one LiDAR frame, and annotating the at least one image frame with a three-dimensional oriented bounding box of the at least one object of interest detected in the at least one image frame by projecting the three-dimensional oriented bounding boxes from the at least one LiDAR frame to the at least one image frame using cross-calibration transforms between the LiDAR sensor and the camera.

Abstract: Various embodiments include processing devices and methods for managing cleaning robot behavior. In some embodiments, a processor of the cleaning robot may determine operational information about operations of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system for at least one room in a structure. The processor may determine a time when operation of the HVAC system will end based on the determined operational information. The processor may generate an instruction for the cleaning robot to schedule an operation of the cleaning robot for a time after operation of the HVAC system will end. The processor may execute the generated instruction to perform the operation of the cleaning robot after operation of the HVAC system ends.

Abstract: Various embodiments include methods that may be implemented in a processor or processing device of an aerial robotic vehicle for generating three-dimensional terrain map based on the plurality of altitude above ground level values generated using visual-inertial odometry, and using such terrain maps to control the altitude of the aerial robotic vehicle. Some methods may include using the generated three-dimensional terrain map during landing. Such embodiment may further include refining the three-dimensional terrain map using visual-inertial odometry as the vehicle approaches the ground and using the refined terrain maps during landing. Some embodiments may include using the three-dimensional terrain map to select a landing site for the vehicle.
