Claim 10:
11. The method of claim 10, wherein the mobile robot further comprises at least one second camera configured to detect infrared wavelengths, and a structured infrared illumination source configured to cyclically illuminate surroundings within a field of view of the at least one second camera with a structured infrared illumination pattern during a structured illumination interval, wherein at least a portion of the field of view of the at least one second camera overlaps with the field of view of the first camera, wherein operation of the at least one second camera and the structured illumination source is coordinated such that an exposure interval of the at least one second camera overlaps with at least a portion of the structured illumination interval, wherein the structured illumination source is inactive during the exposure interval of the first camera, and the method further comprises:
illuminating surroundings within a field of view of the at least one second camera with the structured infrared illumination pattern during the structured illumination interval, and capturing images of surroundings within the field of view of the at least one second camera during the structured illumination interval.
