Smart home robot assistant

A method for robotic delivery in a home automation system, comprising:

• determining, by a mobile robotic device, that an object is available to cross a boundary of the home automation system;
• transmitting, by the mobile robotic device, a request to retrieve the object based at least in part on determining that the object is available to cross the boundary;
• deactivating, by the mobile robotic device, at least a portion of the home automation system based at least in part on the transmitting the request;
• and
• retrieving, by the mobile robotic device, the object based at least in part on deactivating at least the portion of the home automation system.

A mobile robot device, comprising:

• one or more sensors or devices configured to:
• determine that an object is available to cross a boundary of a home automation system;
• transmit a request to retrieve the object based at least in part on determining that the object is available to cross the boundary;
• deactivate at least a portion of the home automation system based at least in part on the transmitting the request;
• and
• retrieve the object based at least in part on deactivating at least the portion of the home automation system.

An apparatus in a home automation system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory in electronic communication with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to:
• determine that an object is available to cross a boundary of the home automation system;
• transmit a request to retrieve the object based at least in part on determining that the object is available to cross the boundary;
• deactivate at least a portion of the home automation system based at least in part on the transmitting the request;
• and
• retrieve the object based at least in part on deactivating at least the portion of the home automation system.
