Abstract: A method in a computing device includes: storing an initial map representing objects within a facility; receiving sensor data from a mobile robot deployed in the facility, the sensor data representing a portion of the facility within a field of view of the mobile robot; determining, based on the received sensor data, whether a map update criterion is satisfied; in response to determining that the map update criterion is satisfied, generating a map update representing updated objects within the facility; applying the map update to the initial map to generate an updated map; and storing the updated map.

Abstract: A method includes: obtaining a pose of a mobile computing device associated with a worker in a facility; detecting a trigger event to initiate presentation, at the mobile computing device, of visual guidance corresponding to one of a plurality of mobile robots in the facility; in response to detecting the trigger event, selecting one of the mobile robots; determining, based on the pose of the mobile computing device and a map of the facility, whether the selected one of the mobile robots is visually obstructed from the pose of the mobile computing device; and when the selected one of the mobile robots is visually obstructed, providing visual guidance via the mobile computing device, the visual guidance indicating a current location of the selected mobile robot behind an obstruction.

Abstract: A method includes: maintaining data handling settings at a mobile robot; generating operational data at the mobile robot, the operational data defining a current state of the mobile robot; storing the operational data in a memory of the mobile robot; selecting, based on the data handling settings, a portion of the operational data; transmitting the selected portion of the operational data; in response to a determination that the operational data meets a condition, obtaining updated data handling settings; and selecting a subsequent portion of the operational data for transmission according to the updated data handling settings.

Abstract: A mobile robot includes: a chassis supporting a locomotive assembly; a sensor; a processor configured, in a guided travel mode, to: detect an external force applied to the chassis in a first direction; control the sensor to capture sensor data corresponding to a physical environment of the mobile robot; detect, based on the sensor data, an operational constraint in the physical environment; determine, based on the detected operational constraint, a feedback force in a second direction opposite the first direction; and controlling the locomotive assembly according to the feedback force.
