  • Publication number: 20200254614
    Abstract: A method for constraining movements of a robot comprises: obtaining digitally stored dynamic building data describing a set of one or more temporary conditions, the dynamic building data comprising, for each temporary condition of the set of one or more temporary conditions, a location of the temporary condition and a description of the temporary location; updating, from the dynamic building data, digital cost data associated with one or more features of a digital map by calculating, for each temporary condition of the set of one or more temporary conditions, an increased cost of navigation associated with the location of the temporary condition; in response to receiving a task that is associated with a destination location, determining a route of the robot to the destination location using the digital map based in part upon the location of each temporary condition and the increased cost associated with the location, the route not including at least a location of a particular temporary condition of the set of

  • Patent number: 9844879
    Abstract: A method for constraining movements of a robot comprises: using the robot, receiving dynamic building data that describes a temporary condition of a building or campus comprising a set of buildings and a location of the temporary condition; using the robot, updating, from the dynamic building data, a map layer of a plurality of map layers of a map by calculating an increased cost of navigation of the portion of the map layer corresponding to the location of the temporary condition, the increased cost based on the description of the temporary condition; using the robot, upon receiving a task having an origin location and a destination location, determining a fastest route from the origin location to the destination location from the plurality of map layers of the map using a graph search algorithm that calculates an expected velocity of the robot over the portion of the map layer corresponding to the location of the temporary condition; using the robot, traversing the fastest route from the origin location to
