Claim 11:
12. A method comprising:
collecting sensor data characterizing a physical environment around a robot via a sensor module;
determining via a processor a three-dimensional model of the physical environment based at least in part on the sensor data;
identifying via the processor a designated surface to clean within the physical environment based at least in part on the three-dimensional model;
autonomously navigating the robot through the physical environment to a designated location proximate to the designated surface via a mobility apparatus;
identifying a presence and a corresponding location of a human being within the physical environment;
determining a path through space for a robotic arm coupled with the robot that will expose the designated surface to a level of electromagnetic radiation that exceeds a designated threshold, the robotic arm capable of movement with respect to the robot in one or more dimensions;
calculating a predicted UV exposure dosage estimate for the human from activating the ultraviolet light source;
autonomously moving a robotic along the path through space to bring the ultraviolet light source in proximity with the designated surface; and
autonomously activating an ultraviolet light source coupled with the robotic arm for a designated period of time, the ultraviolet light source emitting electromagnetic radiation in a range capable of cleaning the designated surface, wherein the processor is further operable to activate the ultraviolet light source only when the predicted UV exposure dosage estimate does not exceed a designated threshold.
