Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for lighting adaptive navigation. In some implementations, a method includes receiving map data associated with a property; obtaining sensor data; based on the map data and the sensor data, determining a lighting scenario; and based on the lighting scenario, configuring the robotic device.

Lighting adaptive navigation

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for determining that current data captured at a current location of a drone satisfies localization adjustment criteria; in response to determining that the current data captured at the current location of the drone satisfies the localization adjustment criteria, identifying previously captured image data; determining a previous expected location of the drone based on both an expected change in location of the drone and a first previous location determined from other image data captured before the previously captured image data; determining a location difference between the previous expected location of the drone and a second previous location determined from the previously captured image data; and determining the current location of the drone based on the location difference.

Robot localization

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for navigation using planar landmarks. In some implementations, images depicting an area of a property captured by a camera are obtained. Landmarks in the area are identified based on the images. An expected stability for each of the landmarks are determined. A map for the area is generated based on the expected stability for each of the landmarks. The map is transmitted to one or more electronic devices.

Navigation using selected visual landmarks

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for lighting adaptive navigation. In some implementations, map data associated with a property is received. Sensor data is obtained. Based on the map data and the sensor data, a lighting scenario is determined. Based on the lighting scenario, a modification to at least one of the lighting scenario, to a planned navigation path for the robotic device, to settings for a sensor of the robotic device, to a position for a sensor of the robotic device, or to a position of the robotic device is determined. An action is performed by based on the one or more modifications.
