Patent number: 10384351Abstract: A mobile robot is configured for operation in a commercial or industrial setting, such as an office building or retail store. The robot can patrol one or more routes within a building, and can detect violations of security policies by objects, building infrastructure and security systems, or individuals. In response to the detected violations, the robot can perform one or more security operations. The robot can include a removable fabric panel, enabling sensors within the robot body to capture signals that propagate through the fabric. In addition, the robot can scan RFID tags of objects within an area, for instance coupled to store inventory. Likewise, the robot can generate or update one or more semantic maps for use by the robot in navigating an area and for measuring compliance with security policies.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2019Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: Cobalt Robotics, Inc.Inventors: Travis J. Deyle, Erik Schluntz, Peregrine Badger, Yves Behar, Daniel Freymann Koelker, Molly McShane, Nick Um, Clayton Russell Anderson, Dan Moshe Semo, Angelita Tadeo, Estrella P. Tadeo
