Patent number: 11819997Abstract: 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: October 9, 2019Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: COBALT ROBOTICS INC.Inventors: Travis J. Deyle, Erik Schluntz

Patent number: 11724399Abstract: A mobile robot is configured for operation in a commercial or industrial setting, such as an office building or retail store. The mobile robot can have a motorized base and a robot body on the motorized base, the robot body including a rotatable ring that rotates horizontally around the robot body. A mechanical arm that can contract and extend relative to the robot body is coupled to the rotatable ring and performs a plurality of actions. A controller of the mobile robot provides instructions to the rotatable ring and the mechanical arm and can cause the mechanical arm to open a door, take an elevator to move to a different floor, and test whether a door is locked properly.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2019Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Cobalt Robotics Inc.Inventors: Travis J.

Patent number: 11537749Abstract: A mobile robot is configured for operation in a commercial or industrial setting, such as an office building or retail store. The mobile robot may include cameras for capturing images and videos and include microphones for capturing audio of its surroundings. To improve privacy by preventing confidential information from being transmitted, the mobile robot may detect text in images and modify the images to make the text illegible before transmitting the images. The mobile robot may also detect human voice in audio and modify audio to make the human voice unintelligible before transmitting the audio.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2020Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Cobalt Robotics Inc.Inventors: Erik Schluntz, Travis J.

Publication number: 20210339399Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2020Publication date: November 4, 2021Inventors: Erik Schluntz, Travis J.
