Mobile Security Robot
First Claim
1. A method of operating a mobile robot, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a computing device, a layout map corresponding to a patrolling environment;
maneuvering the robot in the patrolling environment based on the received layout map;
receiving, at the computing device, imaging data of a scene about the robot when the robot maneuvers in the patrolling environment, the imaging data received from at least one imaging sensor disposed on the robot and in communication with the computing device;
identifying, by the computing device, a person in the scene based on the received imaging data;
aiming, by the computing device, a field of view of the at least one imaging sensor to continuously perceive the identified person in the field of view based on robot dynamics, person dynamics comprising a movement trajectory of the person, and imaging sensor dynamics of the at least one imaging sensor; and
capturing, by the computing device, a human recognizable image of the identified person using the at least one imaging sensor.

Abstract
A method of operating a mobile robot includes receiving a layout map corresponding to a patrolling environment at a computing device and maneuvering the robot in the patrolling environment based on the received layout map. The method further includes receiving imaging data of a scene about the robot when the robot maneuvers in the patrolling environment at the computing device. The imaging data is received from one or more imaging sensors disposed on the robot and in communication with the computing device. The method further includes identifying a person in the scene based on the received imaging data and aiming a field of view of at least one imaging sensor to continuously perceive the identified person in the field of view. The method further includes capturing a human recognizable image of the identified person using the at least one imaging sensor.

13. A robot comprising:
-
a robot body; a drive system supporting the robot body and configured to maneuver the robot over a floor surface of a patrolling environment, the drive system having a forward drive direction; at least one imaging sensor disposed on the robot body; and a controller in communication with the drive system and the at least one imaging sensor, the controller; receiving a layout map corresponding to a patrolling environment; issuing drive commands to the drive system to maneuver the robot in the patrolling environment based on the received layout map; receiving imaging data from the at least one imaging sensor of a scene about the robot when the robot maneuvers in the patrolling environment; identifying a moving target in the scene based on the received imaging data; propagating a movement trajectory of the identified moving target based on the received imaging data; aiming a field of view of the at least one imaging sensor to continuously perceive the identified moving target in the field of view; and capturing a human recognizable image of the identified moving target using the at least one imaging sensor. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
