Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for improved endpoint approach and localization for autonomous mobile robots. In one embodiment, an example system may include a floor-mounted guide disposed on a floor of an environment, and an autonomous mobile robot having a camera and a controller. The autonomous mobile robot may be configured to autonomously navigate in the environment, where the controller can be configured to detect a first edge of the floor-mounted guide using the camera, detect a second edge of the floor-mounted guide using the camera, determine a location of the autonomous mobile robot based at least in part on the first edge and the second edge, and update a navigation path based at least in part on the location.
