Abstract
Techniques for controlling robot movement based on identifier encoding signals are described herein. For example, a device can determine a safety state of a physical location indicating a permission to transmit signals. The safety state can be associated with an operation that can be performed at the physical location. The device can be associated with the physical location. The device can transmit, at a first time based at least in part on the trigger, a first signal that indicates a first identifier. The first identifier can match a second identifier available to an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) from a location marker associated with the physical location. The device can transmit, at a second time, a second signal that indicates the first identifier, the first signal and the second signal enabling the AMR to perform the operation.
