Abstract: Systems and methods for random vehicle movement to prevent theft are disclosed. The vehicle system may automatically reposition to make it seem like the user is home and to reduce battery drain and flat spots on the tire. The system may randomize the start time based on the preferences of the user. At the randomly decided time, the vehicle may start up on its own and reposition itself. In addition, the system may learn a driving behavior pattern of the vehicle via machine learning based on driving behavior associated with the vehicle, such that the vehicle may perform vehicle movement based on the learned driving behavior pattern.

Abstract: A physical space contains stationary objects that do not move over time (e.g., a couch) and may have non-stationary objects that do move over time (e.g., people and pets). An autonomous mobile device (AMD) determines and uses an occupancy map of stationary objects to find a route from one point to another in a physical space. Non-stationary objects are detected and prevented from being incorrectly added to the occupancy map. Point cloud data is processed to determine first candidate objects. Image data is processed to determine second candidate objects. These candidate objects are associated with each other and their characteristics assessed to determine if the candidate objects are stationary or non-stationary. The occupancy map is updated with stationary obstacles. During navigation, the occupancy map may be used for route planning while the non-stationary objects are used for local avoidance.

The assessment module is configured to determine whether the event data indicates a fault associated with the subsystem by comparing the deviations to a threshold deviation. The training module is configured to update a model trained to identify faults in vehicles to identify the event as a fault associated with the subsystem of the vehicle based on the event data in response to the deviations indicating a fault associated with the subsystem.
