Systems and methods for robotic detection of escalators and moving walkways

This invention describes a robot that can navigate a path, use its sensors to spot an escalator, and then stop to avoid it. The robot then marks the escalator's location on its internal map as an area it should not enter. The claims specify that an operator can also define these no-go zones on the map.

Why it matters: Since 2023, advancements in AI-powered real-time object detection and robust autonomous navigation software have made implementing sensor-based escalator avoidance more feasible.
