Mobile cleaning robot artificial intelligence for situational awareness

This invention describes a mobile cleaning robot designed to navigate and clean floors. It uses a microphone to capture sounds from its surroundings. A key feature is its ability to listen to audible signals from people to identify and label different rooms on a map, which can then be displayed on a connected smartphone or tablet.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in multimodal AI and robust audio processing. Interpreting audible signals from individuals for semantic tasks like room labeling is now more accurate and feasible.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedRobotic hardware, AI software, audio processing
