Methods, systems, and devices for automatically customizing operation of a robotic vehicle are described. The method may include identifying an operator, retrieving an operator profile and associated metadata for the operator from a database, where the metadata includes operator habit information, and configuring the robotic vehicle based on existing preference-based and performance-based settings, where the existing preference-based and performance-based settings are based on the metadata. The methods may include identifying operator habit information during operation of the robotic vehicle, deriving updated preference-based and performance-based settings for the operator based on the identified operator habit information, and providing, to the database, modifications to the metadata associated with the operator profile of the operator.

Systems and methods for automatically customizing operation of a robotic vehicle

Methods, systems, and devices for robotic navigation are described. A robotic device such as a robotic vacuum or a robotic assistant may navigate a first surface. In some cases, navigating the first surface may include removing debris from the first surface. The robotic device may identify a location of a track that connects the first surface to a second surface that is vertically displaced from the first surface. The robotic device may engage the track based at least in part on the identified location. The robotic device may ascend to the second surface by activating an actuator and navigate the second surface (e.g., may remove debris from the second surface, may map the second surface, etc.).

Some embodiments include methods for customizing operation of the robotic vehicle for an operator. Such embodiments may include identifying a current operator of the robotic vehicle, configuring the robotic vehicle based on metadata associated with an operator profile for the operator, determining whether the operator has changed, and if so, identifying the new operator, deriving updated preference-based settings and performance-based settings for the new operator, and updating configurations of the robotic vehicle accordingly. Some embodiments may include identifying a current operator, retrieving an operator profile and associated metadata for the operator from a central database, configuring the robotic vehicle based on preference-based and performance-based settings, analyzing input data during operation, storing identified real-time operator habit information during operation of the robotic vehicle, deriving updated preference-based and performance-based settings for the operator; and uploading to the central database modifications to the metadata associated with the operator profile of the operator.

Various embodiments include methods for performing temperature calibration of a first temperature sensitive unit with an electronic device having a first processing unit that is thermally coupled to the first temperature sensitive unit. Various embodiments may include determining a current temperature of the first temperature sensitive unit, determining a processing load for the first processing unit based on the current temperature and a target temperature, applying the determined processing load to the first processing unit to vary a temperature of the first temperature sensitive unit, and determining a temperature bias for the first temperature sensitive unit at the temperature of the first temperature sensitive unit based on an output of the first temperature sensitive unit.

Utilizing processing units to control temperature

Techniques for co-existence on a shared communication medium are disclosed. To foster co-existence, operation of a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) may be cycled between active periods and inactive periods of transmission, on a communication medium shared with a second RAT, in accordance with a Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) communication pattern. One or more cycling parameters of the DTX communication pattern may be set based on a frame structure associated with the first RAT. Transmission may proceed over the communication medium in accordance with the first RAT and the one or more cycling parameters of the DTX communication pattern.

System timing-aware co-existence on a shared communication medium

Methods and apparatus for code phase processing in a wireless communication device are described herein. A wireless device performs code phase search on a pseudo random code spread signal received over a wireless channel. A correlator correlates the received signal to a plurality of code phases in each of a plurality of frequency hypothesis. A maximum peak and a second peak are determined from the correlation results. Cross correlation processing is performed on the maximum peak and the maximum peak is discarded in favor of the second peak for position processing based on the results of the cross correlation.

Multiple correlation processing in code space search

The subject matter disclosed herein relates to a system and method for processing multiple navigation signal components received from multiple global navigation satellite systems (GNSS'). In a particular implementation, a code phase in a first navigation signal component may be detected based, at least in part, on information in a second navigation signal component.

Method for processing combined navigation signals

Methods and apparatus are provided for use in devices adapted to receive signals from at least one satellite positioning system (SPS). As part of at least one search for a transmission from a space vehicle (SV) associated with the SPS, the methods and apparatuses may correlate a code associated with the SV with a received signal to establish a plurality of correlation values, sample at least a portion of the correlation values during the search, and selectively transitioning the search early or prematurely based, at least in part, on at least one of the sampled correlation values.
