  • Publication number: 20190248007
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a universal connection interface between a robot and a plurality of modular attachments are disclosed. Also disclosed are autonomous robotic system and devices comprising a control module in operative connection to a drive module and at least one task module, the drive module configured to move the system through a space as instructed by the control module, the at least one task module configured to perform a task or set of tasks as instructed by the control module. The robotic device also includes a data receiving unit. A command is given by the user to the robotic device to perform a function, and the device then transmits the data to the accessory task module through the data receiving unit. In one exemplary implementation, a robot may be assigned a plurality of different tasks to be accomplished by connecting to a plurality of different modular attachments to using a single universal connection interface.
