Abstract: A proximity sensor (520) includes first and second components (522, 523) disposed on a sensor body (514) adjacent to one another. The first component (522, 524) 5 is one of an emitter (522) and a receiver (524), and the second component (522a, 524a) is the other one of an emitter and a receiver. A third component (522b, 524b) is disposed adjacent the second sensor opposite the first sensor. The third component is an emitter if the first sensor is an emitter or a receiver if the first sensor is a receiver. Each component has a respective field of view (523, 525). First and second fields of view intersect, 10 defining a first volume (V1) that detects a floor surface (10) within a first threshold distance (Ds). The second and third fields of view intersect, defining a second volume (V2) that detects a floor surface within a second threshold distance (DAC). cco aa +U 0 Ni

Abstract: A mobile robot includes a processor connected to a memory and a wireless network circuit, for executing routines stored in the memory and commands generated by the routines and received via the wireless network circuit. The processor drives the mobile robot to a multiplicity of accessible two dimensional locations within a household, and commands an end effector, including at least one motorized actuator, to perform mechanical work in the household. A plurality of routines include a first routine which monitors a wireless local network and detects a presence of a network entity on the wireless local network, a second routine which receives a signal from a sensor detecting an action state of one of the network entities, the action state changeable between waiting and active, and a third routine which commands the end effector to change state of performing mechanical work based on the presence and on the action state.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for receiving user commands for a remote cleaning robot and sending the user commands to the remote cleaning robot, the remote cleaning robot including a drive motor and a cleaning motor, includes displaying a user interface including a control area, and within the control area: a user-manipulable launch control group including a plurality of control elements, the launch control group having a deferred launch control state and an immediate launch control state; at least one user-manipulable cleaning strategy control element having a primary cleaning strategy control state and an alternative cleaning strategy control state; and a physical recall control group including a plurality of control elements, the physical recall control group having an immediate recall control state and a remote audible locator control state. The method further includes: receiving user input via the user-manipulable control elements; responsive to the user inputs, displaying simultaneously within the same control area a real-time robot state reflecting a unique combination of control states; and commanding the remote cleaning robot to actuate the drive motor and cleaning motor to clean a surface based on the received input and unique combination of control states.
