  • Patent number: 11724395
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for robot congestion management including a robot monitoring server configured to track a location of a plurality of robots within a navigational space and a plurality of robots in communication with the robot monitoring server, each robot including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the autonomous robot to determine, from a task list assigned to the robot, a first pose location corresponding to a first task, receive, from the robot monitoring server, congestion information associated with the first pose location, identify a congested state of the first pose location indicated by the congestion information, select, responsive to the identification of the congested state, a second task from the task list, and navigate to a second pose location corresponding to the second task.

  • Publication number: 20220083062
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for robot navigation management including a server configured to define a first zone and a second, adjacent zone within an environment, a threshold along a border between the first and second zones, and a waypoint associated with the threshold. One or more autonomous robots in communication with the server are configured to determine a route from the first zone to the second zone crossing the threshold, the route including a waypoint; and navigate the robot along the route from the first zone to the second zone, including traversing the waypoint in conjunction with crossing the threshold.
