Abstract:
Techniques for minimizing redundancy of surface coverage of a workspace by a robotic device are presented, the techniques including: obtaining, with one or more processors of a robot, a map of a workspace, the map quantizing the workspace into a plurality of cells, each cell corresponding to an area of the workspace; segmenting, with the one or more processors of the robot, the workspace into a plurality of zones, each zone having a subset of the plurality of cells; determining, with the one or more processors of the robot, a sequence of the zones among a plurality of candidate sequences based on an effect of the sequence on a cost of a cost function that is based on travel distance of the robot through the sequence; and causing, with the one or more processors of the robot, the robot to traverse the zones in the determined sequence.

Claim (Index 9):
The robot of  claim 7 , wherein segmenting the workspace comprises:\n determining to add a cell adjacent a perimeter of a given zone to the given zone based on at least one of the following factors: size of the given zone, distance of the cell from a center of the given zone, order of the given zone in the sequence, or a score indicative of smoothness of the perimeter of the given zone.
