Abstract: A mobile robot (100) including a drive system (200) having a forward drive direction (F), a controller (500) in communication with the drive system, and a 5 volumetric point cloud imaging device (450) supported above the drive system and directed to be capable of obtaining a point cloud from a volume of space that includes a floor plane (5) in a direction of movement of the mobile robot. A dead zone sensor (490) has a detection field (492) arranged to detect an object in a volume of space (453) undetectable by the volumetric point cloud imaging device. The controller receives point 10 cloud signals from the imaging device and detection signals from the dead zone sensor and issues drive commands to the drive system based at least in part on the received point cloud and detection signals. 450b 4i5 150 -0a11 30 F ob/120

Abstract: A mobile robot (100) that includes a drive system (200), a controller (500) in communication with the drive system, and a volumetric point cloud imaging device (450) supported above the drive system at a height of greater than about one feet above the ground and directed to be capable of obtaining a point cloud from a volume of space that includes a floor plane in a direction of movement of the mobile robot. The controller receives point cloud signals from the imaging device and issues drive commands to the drive system based at least in part on the received point cloud signals.

Abstract: A method of object detection for a mobile robot includes emitting a speckle pattern of light onto a scene about the robot while maneuvering the robot across a work surface, receiving reflections of the emitted speckle pattern off surfaces of a target object in the scene, determining a distance of each reflecting surface of the target object, constructing a three-dimensional depth map of the target object, and classifying the target object.

Abstract: Ein mobiler Roboter (100), der ein Antriebssystem (200) mit einer Vorwärtsfahrtrichtung (F), eine Steuerung (500), die mit dem Antriebssystem in Kommunikation steht, und ein Gerät (450) zur Bildgebung volumetrischer Punktwolken beinhaltet, das über dem Antriebssystem befestigt ist und ausgelegt ist, um eine Punktwolke aus einem Raumvolumen, das eine Bodenebene (5) in einer Bewegungsrichtung des mobilen Roboters beinhaltet, zu erhalten. Ein Totzonensensor (490) weist einen Erfassungsbereich (492) auf, der ausgelegt ist, um ein Objekt in einem Raumvolumen (453), das für das Gerät zur Bildgebung volumetrischer Punktwolken nicht erfassbar ist, zu erfassen. Die Steuerung empfängt Punktwolkensignale vom Bildgebungsgerät und Erfassungssignale vom Totzonensensor und gibt wenigstens teilweise auf den empfangenen Punktwolken- und Erfassungssignalen basierend Antriebsbefehle an das Antriebssystem aus.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for social behavior of a telepresence robot are disclosed herein. A telepresence robot may include a drive system, a control system, an object detection system, and a social behaviors component. The drive system is configured to move the telepresence robot. The control system is configured to control the drive system to drive the telepresence robot around a work area. The object detection system is configured to detect a human in proximity to the telepresence robot. The social behaviors component is configured to provide instructions to the control system to cause the telepresence robot to operate according to a first set of rules when a presence of one or more humans is not detected and operate according to a second set of rules when the presence of one or more humans is detected.
