Mobile Robot With Removable Fabric Panels
First Claim
1. A mobile robot, comprising:
- a motorized base configured to move and rotate the mobile robot;
a power source configured to provide power to the motorized base;
a housing body coupled to the motorized base;
a fabric panel removably coupled around an exterior of the housing body, the fabric panel comprising a top opening with a first diameter and a bottom opening with a second diameter greater than the first diameter;
a set of sensors coupled to the housing body configured to detect signals that propagate through the fabric panel and to generate information representative of the detected signals;
a robot head coupled to the housing body such that the housing body is coupled between the motorized base and the robot head;
a display coupled to the robot head, the display configured to display a user interface associated with the mobile robot; and
a wireless transceiver configured to provide the generated information to a receiving entity.

Abstract
A mobile robot is configured for operation in a commercial or industrial setting, such as an office building or retail store. The robot can patrol one or more routes within a building, and can detect violations of security policies by objects, building infrastructure and security systems, or individuals. In response to the detected violations, the robot can perform one or more security operations. The robot can include a removable fabric panel, enabling sensors within the robot body to capture signals that propagate through the fabric. In addition, the robot can scan RFID tags of objects within an area, for instance coupled to store inventory. Likewise, the robot can generate or update one or more semantic maps for use by the robot in navigating an area and for measuring compliance with security policies.
