    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for automatically cleaning a portion of an environment. One of the methods includes detecting, by an automated cleaning system, movement within a physical environment; determining, by the automated cleaning system and using data that represents the movement, that one or more threshold criteria for cleaning at least a portion of the physical environment are satisfied; and in response to determining that the one or more threshold criteria for cleaning at least the portion of the physical environment are satisfied, sending, by the automated cleaning system, an instruction to a device in the physical environment to cause the device to initiate a cleaning process of at least the portion of the physical environment.

    Abstract: Method and system for wild animal deterrence, the method includes obtaining video data by a monitor camera of a home wildlife deterrence system; classifying, based on the obtained video data, an object in the video data as a particular type of a wild animal; selecting an action to perform based on the particular type of the wild animal that the object is classified as; and triggering the action to be performed. The method also includes determining that the particular type of the wild animal matches a label of a candidate action in a set of candidate actions, wherein each candidate action in the set of candidate actions indicates at least one type of wild animal; and in response to determining that the particular type of the wild animal matches a label of the candidate action in the set of candidate actions, selecting the candidate action as the action to perform.

    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and apparatus for monitoring delivered packages using video. A method includes obtaining a notification of a delivery of a package at a property that includes a first image depicting the package; obtaining a second image captured by a camera at the property; determining, using the first image and the second image, that the package has been delivered to the property; generating a package model that represents an appearance of the package; and tracking a location of the package for use in determining whether to provide an alert to a device about the location of the package. Determining that the package has been delivered to the property comprises: comparing the first image to a model of a scene of the property; determining that the first image satisfies similarity criteria for matching the model of the scene; and determining that the second image likely depicts the package.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for determining that current data captured at a current location of a drone satisfies localization adjustment criteria; in response to determining that the current data captured at the current location of the drone satisfies the localization adjustment criteria, identifying previously captured image data; determining a previous expected location of the drone based on both an expected change in location of the drone and a first previous location determined from other image data captured before the previously captured image data; determining a location difference between the previous expected location of the drone and a second previous location determined from the previously captured image data; and determining the current location of the drone based on the location difference.
