Abstract
Implementations of the disclosed subject matter provide a mobile robot including a motor to drive a drive system to move the mobile robot in an area, a light source to output ultraviolet (UV) light, at least one sensor, a communications interface to receive at least one signal via a communications network, and a first controller to control the drive system, the light source, the at least one sensor, and the communications interface. Operations of the mobile robot may be controlled based in part on the at least one signal received via the communications network from a second controller that is in a location that is remote from the area where the mobile robot is operating.
Claims14
A device comprising:
- a mobile robot including:
- a motor to drive a drive system to move the mobile robot in an area;
- a light source to output ultraviolet (UV) light disposed over the drive system;
- at least one sensor;
- a communications interface to receive at least one signal via a communications network;
- and
- a first controller to control the drive system, the light source, the at least one sensor, and the communications interface,
- wherein operations of the mobile robot are controlled based in part on the at least one signal received via the communications network from a second controller that is in a location that is remote from the area where the mobile robot is operating, and
- wherein the communication interface is configured to output a notification signal to the second controller when the mobile robot is unable to determine its location within the area.
