Abstract
A method for identifying a doorway, including: capturing, with a sensor disposed on a robot, sensor data of an environment of the robot as the robot drives along a movement path; identifying, with a processor of the robot, at least one feature from the sensor data indicative of a doorway; identifying, with the processor, the doorway at a location within the environment upon detecting the at least one feature in the sensor data; and generating, with the processor, a map of the environment based on at least the sensor data.
Claims17
A method for identifying a doorway, comprising:
- capturing, with a sensor disposed on a robot, sensor data of an environment of the robot as the robot drives along a movement path;
- identifying, with a processor of the robot, at least one feature from the sensor data indicative of a doorway;
- identifying, with the processor, the doorway at a location within the environment upon detecting the at least one feature in the sensor data;
- instructing, with the processor, the robot to execute one or more actions upon identifying the doorway, wherein:
- the one or more actions comprises avoiding crossing the doorway, wherein the doorway is identified by the robot as a virtual barrier;
- and
- the robot avoids crossing the doorway for a predetermined amount of time or until encountering the identified doorway a predetermined number of times;
- and
- generating, with the processor, a map of the environment based on at least the sensor data.
6 more elements
A robot, comprising:
- a chassis;
- a set of wheels;
- a plurality of sensors;
- and
- a processor;
- wherein the robot is configured to:
- capture, with a sensor of the plurality of sensors disposed on the robot, sensor data of an environment of the robot as the robot drives along a movement path;
- identify, with the processor, at least one feature from the sensor data indicative of a doorway;
- identify, with the processor, the doorway at a location within the environment upon detecting the at least one feature in the sensor data;
- instruct, with the processor, the robot to execute one or more actions upon identifying the doorway, wherein:
- the one or more actions comprises avoiding crossing the doorway, wherein the doorway is identified by the robot as a virtual barrier;
- and
- the robot avoids crossing the doorway for a predetermined amount of time or until encountering the identified doorway a predetermined number of times;
- and
- generate, with the processor, a map of the environment based on at least the sensor data.
