AUTONOMOUS MONITORING ROBOT SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. An autonomous mobile robot comprising:
- a chassis;
a drive supporting the chassis above a floor surface in a home and configured to move the chassis across the floor surface;
a variable height member being coupled to the chassis and being vertically extendible;
a camera supported by the variable height member; and
a controller configured tooperate the drive to navigate the robot to locations within the home,adjust a height of the variable height member upon reaching a first of the locations, and,while the variable height member is at the adjusted height, operate the camera to capture digital imagery of the home at the first of the locations.

Abstract
An autonomous mobile robot includes a chassis, a drive supporting the chassis above a floor surface in a home and configured to move the chassis across the floor surface, a variable height member being coupled to the chassis and being vertically extendible, a camera supported by the variable height member, and a controller. The controller is configured to operate the drive to navigate the robot to locations within the home and to adjust a height of the variable height member upon reaching a first of the locations. The controller is also configured to, while the variable height member is at the adjusted height, operate the camera to capture digital imagery of the home at the first of the locations.

13. A method comprising:
-
receiving data representing digital imagery of a home captured by a camera on an autonomous mobile robot and presented on a display of a remote computing device; determining that a user-selected location in the home is above at least a portion of a floor surface in the home; and causing the camera on the robot to be redirected toward the user-selected location while additional digital imagery is captured and presented on the display. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
