Abstract: An apparatus, system and method of operating an autonomous mobile robot having a height of at least one meter. The robot body; at least two three-dimensional depth camera sensors affixed to the robot body proximate to the height, wherein the sensors are directed toward a floor surface and, in combination, comprise a substantially 360 degree field of view of the floor surface around the robot body; and a processing system for receiving pixel data within the field of view of the sensors; obtaining missing or erroneous pixels from the pixel data; comparing the missing or erroneous pixels to a template, wherein the template comprises at least an indication of ones of the missing or erroneous pixels indicative of the robot body and a shadow of the robot body; and outputting an indication of obstacles in or near the field of view based on the comparing.
