Detachable user interface for a robotic vehicle
First Claim
1. A robotic vehicle comprising:
- control circuitry configured to execute stored instructions to direct operation of the robotic vehicle on a defined area;
a device interface enabling electronic communication between one or more devices and the control circuitry; and
a detachable user interface configured to be removably mated with the robotic vehicle to enable communication between the detachable user interface and the control circuitry via the device interface, the detachable user interface providing user interface capability to enable an operator to define one or more setting parameters or instructions responsive to the detachable user interface being mated with the robotic vehicle for execution by the control circuitry to control operation of the robotic vehicle when the detachable user interface is not mated with the robotic vehicle, wherein being mated comprises at least a portion of a detachable user interface housing being received within a docking station of the detachable user interface.

Abstract
A robotic vehicle may include control circuitry, a device interface and a detachable user interface. The control circuitry may be configured to execute stored instructions to direct operation of the robotic vehicle on a defined area. The device interface may enable electronic communication of a device with the control circuitry. The detachable user interface may be configured to be removably mated with the robotic vehicle to enable communication between the detachable user interface and the control circuitry via the device interface. The detachable user interface may provide user interface capability to enable an operator to define one or more setting parameters or instructions responsive to the detachable user interface being mated with the robotic vehicle for execution by the control circuitry to control operation of the robotic vehicle when the detachable user interface is not mated with the robotic vehicle.
