  • AUTONOMOUSLY MOTILE DEVICE WITH REMOTE CONTROL
    Publication number: 20230120303
    Abstract: Movement of an autonomously motile device may be controlled by a user device. The user device may display image data captured by a camera of the autonomously motile device; a user may provide input, such as a touch gesture on a display screen, indicating a command for the autonomously motile device to move to a location indicated by the input. The autonomously motile device determines a coordinate of the input and a time of the touch input; the autonomously motile device then determines a direction and distance of a corresponding movement.

  • Autonomously motile device with image capture
    Patent number: 11233937
    Abstract: An autonomously motile device is capable of capturing image data, such as panoramic images, as it moves to different locations in an environment. It selects the locations at which to capture the image data by determining, for each of a plurality of grid units in a map of the environment, a number of grid points that are unobstructed by a wall or object surrounding the point. It then selects a number of locations having the greatest number of viewable grid points.
