  • Publication number: 20210113049
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for performing autonomous self-service are described. A robotic device may identify a status of a chamber associated with the robotic device based on sensor data received from a sensor of the robotic device and pause an autonomous debris collection process of the robotic device based on the identified status. The robotic device may automatically remove a first container from the chamber based on the identified status and discard the first container away from the robotic device. In some examples, the robotic device may discard the first container at a fixed position within a geo-boundary corresponding to the debris collection process. The robotic device may resume the autonomous debris collection process based on an introduction of a second container.

  • Publication number: 20190310629
    Abstract: Embodiments include devices and methods for controlling a robotic vehicle. In one example, the method may include determining an attention level of an operator controlling the robotic vehicle, determining that the attention level of the operator is below an acceptable level and automatically controlling the robotic vehicle in response to determining that the attention level of the operator is below an acceptable level.
