Abstract:
Provided is a process that includes: obtaining a first version of a map of a workspace; selecting a first undiscovered area of the workspace; in response to selecting the first undiscovered area, causing the robot to move to a position and orientation to sense data in at least part of the first undiscovered area; and obtaining an updated version of the map mapping a larger area of the workspace than the first version.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by one or more processors effectuate operations comprising:\n obtaining, with one or more processors of a robot or of a system configured to communicate with a robot, a first version of a map of a workspace, wherein:\n the robot carries one or more sensors that sense data indicative of locations of physical objects within a sensed area, and \n the first version of the map is based at least in part on data sensed by the one or more sensors in a first position and orientation, and \n the robot is configured to move in the workspace to change a location of the sensed area as the robot moves; \n \n selecting, with the one or more processors of the robot or of the system configured to communicate with the robot, a first undiscovered area of the workspace; \n in response to selecting the first undiscovered area, causing, with the one or more processors of the robot or of the system configured to communicate with the robot, the robot to move to a second position and orientation to sense data in at least part of the first undiscovered area; and \n obtaining, with the one or more processors of the robot or of the system configured to communicate with the robot, a second version of the map mapping a larger area of the workspace than the first version of the map based on data sensed from the second position and orientation and movement measured from the first position and orientation to the second position and orientation.
