    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for receiving data that represents a portion of a property that was obtained by a robot, identifying, based at least on the data, objects that the data indicates as being located within the portion of the property, determining, based on the objects, a semantic zone type corresponding to the portion of the property, accessing a mapping hierarchy for the property, wherein the mapping hierarchy for the property specifies semantic zones of the property that have corresponding semantic zone types and are associated with locations at the property, and specifies characteristics of the semantic zones, and selecting, from among the semantic zones and based at least on the semantic zone type and the data, a particular semantic zone, and setting, as a current location of the robot at the property, a particular location at the property associated with the particular semantic zone.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a robot, a distance measuring method, and a recharging system tor robot. The distance measuring method includes configuring a current position of a robot to be a first position, obtaining a first direction along a connection line from the first position to a signals transmitting position by a sensor of the robot, obtaining a second direction along a connection line from a second position to the signals transmitting position when the robot being driven by a driver to move along a moving direction by a predetermined distance to the second position, and the moving direction being perpendicular to the first direction to the second position, obtaining a distance between the second position and the signals transmitting position according to an included angle formed by the first direction and the second direction, and the predetermined distance.

    Abstract: A robotic surface treatment apparatus treats corners of rooms more effectively through intricate guidance of the apparatus through inside and outside corners. In one aspect, contact and/or non-contact sensors provide information to one or more on-board processors on the apparatus to enable selective overriding of obstacle avoidance program code and allow the apparatus to get closer to walls to facilitate treatment. In another aspect, the sensors provide information to the on-board processors to control backup motion of the apparatus to cover previously-missed areas when turning corners. In yet another aspect, the apparatus is shaped to have its treatment mechanism positioned more closely to the front of the apparatus to enable treatment more closely to walls near corners. In one embodiment, the robotic surface treatment apparatus is a robotic vacuum. The vacuum may have its cleaning brush positioned near a flat front portion of the apparatus.
