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: 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.

Abstract: Various embodiments include methods and vehicles, such as a semi-autonomous vehicle, for safely operating a vehicle based on vehicle-control gestures made by an occupant. Exemplary implementations may include determining a first vehicle action by applying a first passenger profile to a detected first vehicle-control gesture performed by a first passenger, determining whether the first vehicle action is safe to perform, and operating the vehicle to implement the first vehicle action in response to determining that the first vehicle action is safe for the vehicle and occupants. The first passenger profile may be selected from a plurality of passenger profiles to normalize vehicle-control gestures received from the first passenger. The vehicle control gesture may be ignored or a vehicle action differing from but similar to the first vehicle action may be implemented in response to determining that the first vehicle action is unsafe for the vehicle or occupants.

Abstract: Methods, devices and systems enable controlling an autonomous vehicle by identifying a vehicle that is within a threshold distance of the autonomous vehicle, determining an autonomous capability metric (ACM) the identified vehicle, determining whether the ACM of the identified vehicle is greater than a first threshold, determining whether the ACM of the identified vehicle is less than a second threshold, and adjusting a driving parameter of the autonomous vehicle so that the autonomous vehicle is more or less reliant on the capabilities of the identified vehicle based on whether the ACM of the identified vehicle exceeds the thresholds.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for automatically customizing operation of a robotic vehicle are described. The method may include identifying an operator, retrieving an operator profile and associated metadata for the operator from a database, where the metadata includes operator habit information, and configuring the robotic vehicle based on existing preference-based and performance-based settings, where the existing preference-based and performance-based settings are based on the metadata. The methods may include identifying operator habit information during operation of the robotic vehicle, deriving updated preference-based and performance-based settings for the operator based on the identified operator habit information, and providing, to the database, modifications to the metadata associated with the operator profile of the operator.

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: 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. Adjusting a driving parameter may include adjusting one or more of a minimum separation distance, a minimum following distance, a speed parameter, or an acceleration rate parameter.
