Abstract
The described positional awareness techniques employing sensory data gathering and analysis hardware with reference to specific example implementations implement improvements in the use of sensors, techniques and hardware design that can enable specific embodiments to find new area to cover by a robot encountering an unexpected obstacle traversing an area in which the robot is performing an area coverage task. The sensory data are gathered from an operational camera and one or more auxiliary sensors.
