20090119010MULTIDIMENSIONAL EVIDENCE GRIDS AND SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR APPLYING SAME - Mapping, localization, and navigation systems for use with a mobile unit are provided that use a sensor model with adjustable parameters. The system includes range sensors configured to collect range data and a data storage system having stored therein an evidence grid representing an environment and a sensor model comprising adjustable parameters representing inaccuracies of the range sensors. A grid engine adjusts the adjustable parameters based on received range data from the range sensors. A navigation module can direct the mobile unit though the environment using the evidence grid, received range data, and adjustable parameters. The grid engine can also locate the mobile unit within the environment by using the adjusted sensor model parameters to compare the received range data against the evidence grid.05-07-2009

20090194137SERVICE ROBOT AND METHOD OF OPERATING SAME - In accordance with aspects of the present invention, a service robot, such as a robotic cleaner, can be configured to more effectively service an environment. The service robot can include one or more sensors that sense its location, the location of objects, or both, and can also include noise reduction elements. The service robot can determine that it is under a “furnishing” and implement a different servicing pattern.08-06-2009
20090198376DISTRIBUTED MULTI-ROBOT SYSTEM - A system is provided that includes at least one manager and one or more robots configured to communicate wirelessly. The manager can include certain functions that generate data, instructions, or both used by one or more robots. The manager can also facilitate communications among several robots, or robots could also be configured to communicate directly.08-06-2009
20090198380METHODS FOR REAL-TIME AND NEAR REAL-TIME INTERACTIONS WITH ROBOTS THAT SERVICE A FACILITY - In accordance with aspects of the present invention, a service robot and methods for controlling such a robot are provided. In particular, the robot is configured to sense the presence of a person and to take a next action in response to sensing the presence of the person. As examples, the robot could leave the area, await commands from the person, or enter an idle or sleep state or mode until the person leaves.08-06-2009
20090198381METHODS FOR REPURPOSING TEMPORAL-SPATIAL INFORMATION COLLECTED BY SERVICE ROBOTS - Robots and methods implemented therein implement an active repurposing of temporal-spatial information. A robot can be configured to analyze the information to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the primary service function that generated the information originally. A robot can be configured to use the information to create a three dimensional (3D) model of the facility, which can be used for a number of functions such as creating virtual tours of the environment, or porting the environment into video games. A robot can be configured to use the information to recognize and classify objects in the facility so that the ensuing catalog can be used to locate selected objects later, or to provide a global catalog of all items, such as is needed for insurance documentation of facility effects.08-06-2009

20110232536Multi-Functional Apparatus For Aiding Cleaning Of Edged Surfaces And Storage - Apparatus and method for facilitating cleaning a working surface of a countertop or tabletop is mountable on the edge portion thereof. In an embodiment, the apparatus has a first assembly and a second assembly. The first assembly includes an elongated tray and at least one bracket for mounting the second assembly thereon. The first assembly is mounted to the edge portion using clamps. The second assembly includes an elongated gutter and mounting portions attached thereto. The tray slopes downward from its rear edge to its front edge. The gutter is located below and parallel to the front edge of the tray. The first assembly may include a compressible strip attached to the rear edge of the tray, so that the strip is pressed against the underside of the edge portion when the apparatus is mounted. In another embodiment, a frame holding a disposable bag is used instead of the gutter.09-29-2011
