Abstract: A signaling device for increasing visibility of a mobile robot. The signaling device comprises (a) a base section, attached with a rotational joint to a side of the mobile robot, the rotational joint allowing the device to rotate clockwise and/or anticlockwise relative to the mobile robot, the rotational joint constructed and adapted to return the device to an equilibrium position; and (b) a body section comprising a mast, the body section flexibly attached to the base section at a lower extreme of the body section.

Abstract: A delivery method includes providing a system with at least one server, at least one robot, and at least one delivery terminal. The method includes communicating a request for at least one delivery from the at least one delivery terminal to the at least one server and/or to the at least one robot; providing instructions from the at least one server to the at least one robot about the at least one delivery, the instructions comprising information about a final delivery location; loading the at least one robot with the at least one delivery to be transported; transporting the at least one delivery in the at least one robot to the final delivery location; and providing access to the at least one delivery in the at least one robot, preferably upon arrival at the delivery location.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, and computer readable storage mediums for filtering communication events communicated over a communications network from a network node to a device. In one aspect, a method includes configuring, via a communication client application, the device to associate each of a plurality of sets of filtering parameters with a different operating mode of the device, in response to a transition of the device from a first operating mode to a second operating mode, determining, by the device, a first set of filtering parameters associated with the second operating mode based on the configuring, and transmitting, by the device, the determined first set of filtering parameters to the network node, the transmission instructing the network node to transmit particular types of communication events permitted by the first set of filtering parameters to the device and to block other types of communication events to the device that are not permitted by the first set of filtering parameters.

Abstract: Method, node and user terminal for receiving communication events over a communications network. The method comprising: executing a communication client at the user terminal, the client arranged to operate in one of a plurality of modes, filtering parameters associated with each of the modes are stored in storage at the user terminal; the client detecting a mode that the client is operating in and accessing the filtering parameters associated with the mode from the storage; the communication client transmitting the filtering parameters accessed from said storage to a node in the network, the filtering parameters defining one or more types of communication event that are permitted to be received at the terminal from said network when the communication client is operating in said mode; and receiving only said one or more types of communication event at the terminal from said node when the communication client is operating in said mode.
