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 human interface robot (100) that includes a controller (500), a camera (320, 320a, 320b, 450, 450a, 450b) in communication with the controller, and a display (310, 310a, 310b, 312) in communication with the controller. The controller displays received image data on the display as an image (1602), identifies at least one shape (1610, 1610a, 1610b) in the image, and displays a shape specific label (1620) on the image at least near the shape.

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: A mobile floor cleaning robot (100) includes a robot body (110) supported by a drive system (120) configured to maneuver the robot over a floor surface (10). The robot also includes a cleaning system (160) supported by the robot body, an imaging sensor 5 (510) disposed on the robot body, and a controller (150) in communication with the drive system and the imaging sensor. The controller receives a sequence of images (514b) of the floor surface. The controller segments each image into color blobs (23) by color quantizing pixels (514) of the image, determines a spatial distribution of each color of the image based on corresponding pixel locations (517), and identifies areas of the image 10 having a threshold spatial distribution for that color. The controller then tracks a location (12a) of the color blobs with respect to the imaging sensor across the sequence of images.

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 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 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.
