A method and system for a reconfigurable robotic platform through a plurality of interchangeable service modules and adapted to engage in both autonomous and interactive maintenance and monitoring of a service area, the robotic platform configured to execute a stored service plan for the service area, the service plan comprising a service plan sequence comprising a service treatment step, alter the service plan sequence based on detecting an object that is a treatment obstacle in the service area as detected by the sensor, the treatment obstacle preventing execution of the service treatment step at a service treatment location within the service area, wherein the altered service plan sequence comprises moving around the treatment obstacle and skipping the service treatment step, store the service treatment location for later treatment, and resume execution of the service plan.

Robot and service module

An object detection system for used in a vehicle includes an object detector is provided. One or more fisheye lens cameras coupled to an object detection system are positioned at various location of the vehicle for capturing a field of view (FOV) into an image. The image is split into multiple different set of perspective images. Each perspective images may include a portion of overlap having common or identical object of interest. The object detector classifies various objects of interest in the perspective images, estimates distance of objects of interest from the vehicle using camera calibration information stored in one of the camera, and transmits the sensed information that corresponds to the distance of interest to a processor. The processor includes sequence of instruction or object code either located in one of the object detection system, in-vehicle network, and an electronic device processes the sensed information and applies bounding boxes around objects of interest the vehicle or in the electronic device. One or more images incorporated the colored bounding boxes are transmitted to a display unit or screen for display as human readable format.
