Abstract

A mobile robot includes a mode of operation to recover from a localization error. The mobile robot detects a change in state in a local region proximate the mobile robot. The location of the mobile robot is identified based at least in part on the detected change in state. In one implementation, the mobile robot interfaces with a system controller of a building to initiate a change in state in a local region of a building.
