Abstract
A method of navigating a mobile robotic device may include receiving, by a mobile robotic device, a wireless transmission from a transponder associated with an object, where the object is within a range of the mobile robotic device and in response to receiving the notification, altering a navigation course by the mobile robotic device to allow the object to pass the mobile robotic device. The mobile robotic device may be preprogrammed with at least a portion of the navigation course. The method may include resuming the navigation course by the mobile robotic device.
