Abstract
A method for operating a robot, including: capturing images of a workspace; capturing data indicative of movement of the robot; capturing LIDAR data as the robot moves within the workspace; generating a map of the workspace based on the LIDAR data; actuating the robot to drive; discriminating between an object on a floor surface along a path of the robot and the floor surface based on the captured images; actuating the robot to drive until determining all areas of the workspace are discovered and included in the map; and executing a cleaning function.
