Abstract: A mobile robot is configured to operate in commercial or industrial settings, such as office buildings or retail stores. The mobile robot can have a motorized base, a robot body on the motorized base, and a mechanical arm coupled to the robot body. The mobile robot can move between floors of a building using an elevator. The mobile robot can interact with an elevator system to call an elevator to a current floor, for instance, using the mechanical arm. When a first elevator arrives to the current floor, the mobile robot identifies that doors of the first elevator are opening and interacts with the elevator system again to cause the first elevator to remain at the current floor. After the interaction, the mobile robot moves toward a target location within the first elevator.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A mounting bracket for use with a solar module is disclosed. The mounting bracket includes a foot including a first wall and a second wall oriented substantially orthogonal to the first wall, the first wall including serrations configured to engage serrations on a rail to adjust a height of the rail with respect to the foot. The mounting bracket further includes a backing configured to be coupled to the foot and secure the mounting bracket to the rail.
