Abstract
An intelligent, autonomous interior cleaning robot capable of autonomously mapping and cleaning multiple rooms in a house in an intelligent manner is described. Various combinations of passive and active sensors may be used to perform mapping, localization, and obstacle avoidance. In particular, the robot uses stereo cameras with a static projected light pattern to generate 3D data. In addition, the robot may use optical sensors in various locations, laser ToF sensors, inertial measurement units and visual odometry to enhance the localization and mapping capabilities.
