Systems and methods for multi-object navigation in real environments

A navigating robot, comprising:

• a means for detecting objects in images captured by a camera of the navigating robot while the navigating robot is in a real world space;
• a means for generating a map including locations of objects captured in the images and at least one attribute of the objects;
• and
• a means trained to find and navigate to N different objects in the real world space in a predetermined order by:
• when a location of a next one of the N different objects in the predetermined order is stored in the map, actuate one or more propulsion devices of the navigating robot and navigate toward the next one of the N different objects in the real world space;
• and
• when the location of the next one of the N different objects in the predetermined order is not stored in the map, actuate one or more propulsion devices of the navigating robot and navigate to a portion of the real world space in the map not yet captured in any images from the camera.

• and
• based on training, navigating to N different objects in the real world space in a predetermined order by:
• when a location of a next one of the N different objects in the predetermined order is stored in the map, actuating one or more propulsion devices of the navigating robot and navigating toward the next one of the N different objects in the real world space;
• and
• when the location of the next one of the N different objects in the predetermined order is not stored in the map, actuating one or more propulsion devices of the navigating robot and navigating to a portion of the real world space in the map not yet captured in any images from the camera.
