More Information
Summary:A method includes receiving, from at least two fixed cameras in a static sensor arrangement on a mobile robotic device, one or more images representative of an environment of the mobile robotic device, wherein the at least two fixed cameras have a combined 360 degree horizontal field of view around the mobile robotic device. The method further includes determining, from the one or more images, a presence of an object in the environment of the mobile robotic device. The method additionally includes controlling a moveable sensor arrangement of the mobile robotic device to move towards the object, wherein the movable sensor arrangement comprises at least one movable camera on the mobile robotic device. The method also includes receiving, from the at least one movable camera of the moveable sensor arrangement, one or more additional images representative of the object.
