Abstract: Provided is a robotic device for transporting and delivering at least one item, including: a processor; a chassis including a set of wheels; a motor for driving the set of wheels; a control system module for controlling the movement of the robotic device; a set of sensors; a screen with a graphical user interface; at least one compartment for storing the at least one item for transportation and delivery; and a door that provides access to the at least one item stored in the at least one compartment.

Abstract: Provided is a robot configured to generate a map of a workspace of the robot based at least in part on data sensed by at least one sensor in different positions and orientations within the workspace. The map of the workspace is saved to a memory of the robot or the cloud. The robot is paired with a software application executed on a smart phone configured to at least display the map of the workspace and receive at least one input designating a modification to the map of the workspace; a unique tag for a subarea within the map of the workspace; a schedule for cleaning by the robot; an area to avoid; and an instruction to start or stop vacuuming or mopping.

Abstract: Provided is a method for determining a coverage path of a robotic device, including: capturing, with a sensor, spatial data of the environment; detecting, with a processor, at least one obstacle within the environment based on the spatial data; determining, with the processor, a first working zone within the environment; determining, with the processor, a coverage path within the first working zone that accounts for at least one of the obstacles detected within the first working zone; actuating, with the processor, a robotic device to drive along the coverage path within the first working zone; and wherein the processor determines an adapted coverage path when a new obstacle is detected and wherein the processor actuates the robotic device to drive along the adapted coverage path.

Abstract: A method for centrally aligning a robot with an electronic device, including: transmitting, with at least one transmitter, a first signal; receiving, with a first receiver and a second receiver, the first signal; detecting, with a controller coupled to the first receiver and the second receiver, the robot is centrally aligned with the electronic device when the first receiver and the second receiver simultaneously receive the first signal, wherein a virtual line passing through a center of the robot and a center of the electronic device is aligned with a midpoint between the first receiver and the second receiver; and executing, with the robot, a particular movement type when the robot is aligned with the electronic device.

Abstract: Provided is a versatile robotic chassis including: a chassis; a set of wheels coupled to the chassis; a processor; a plurality of sensors; a battery; and a tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by the processor effectuates operations, including: capturing, with the plurality of sensors, sensor data; recognizing, with the processor, a street sign, a pot hole, and a speed bump based on at least some of the sensor data; and responding, with the versatile robotic chassis, to the street sign; wherein: the versatile robotic chassis is customizable; the versatile robotic chassis is configured to be coupled with different types of components that enable different robotic functions; and the versatile robotic chassis is configured to run different types of software that enable different robotic functions.
