Settings for mobile robot control

Abstract

A method of operating a mobile cleaning robot system including a mobile cleaning robot and a display device can include displaying a room cleaning settings indication selectable to set one or more cleaning settings for a previously-mapped specified room. When the room cleaning settings indication is selected, a cleaning mode indication can be displayed where the cleaning mode indication is selectable to set a cleaning mode setting of the specified room.

1 . A method of operating a mobile cleaning robot system including a mobile cleaning robot and a display device, the method comprising:
 displaying a room cleaning settings indication selectable to set one or more cleaning settings for a previously-mapped specified room, the room cleaning settings indication including a vacuuming only or vacuuming and mopping indication; and   displaying, when the room cleaning settings indication is selected, a cleaning mode indication selectable to set a cleaning mode setting of the specified room.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 performing a cleaning mission using the cleaning mode setting of the specified room when the mobile cleaning robot is located within the specified room.   
     
     
         3 . (canceled) 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 displaying, when either vacuuming only or vacuuming and mopping is selected, a cleaning passes indication selectable to set a number of vacuuming cleaning passes of a mobile cleaning robot.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the cleaning passes indication is selectable to set the number of passes of the mobile cleaning robot to between one and three passes. 
     
     
         6 . The method of claim  1 L further comprising:
 displaying, when the vacuuming and mopping indication is selected, a fluid rate indication selectable to set a rate at which a fluid is discharged from a mobile cleaning robot.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the fluid rate indication is selectable to set the rate at which the fluid is discharged between a low amount, a medium amount, and a high amount. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the room cleaning settings indication includes a vacuum speed indication selectable to set a speed of a vacuum system of a mobile cleaning robot. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the room cleaning settings indication includes an overlap indication selectable to set an overlap percentage of a mopping pad. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the room cleaning settings indication includes a fluid rate indication selectable to set a rate at which a fluid is discharged from a mobile cleaning robot. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 present a recommended cleaning setting based on a cleaning history.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 receive a dirt detection signal from a mobile cleaning robot; and   determine the cleaning history based on the dirt detection signal.   
     
     
         13 . A machine-readable medium including instructions for presenting a user interface, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
 display a room cleaning settings indication selectable to set one or more cleaning settings for a previously-mapped specified room; and   display, when the room cleaning settings indication is selected, a cleaning mode indication selectable to set a cleaning mode setting of the specified room.   
     
     
         14 . The machine-readable medium of  claim 13 , wherein the room cleaning settings indication includes a vacuuming only or vacuuming and mopping indication. 
     
     
         15 . The machine-readable medium of  claim 14 , the processor further configured to:
 display, when either vacuuming only or vacuuming and mopping is selected, a cleaning passes indication selectable to set a number of vacuuming cleaning passes of a mobile cleaning robot.   
     
     
         16 . The machine-readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the cleaning passes indication is selectable to set the number of passes of the mobile cleaning robot to between one and three passes. 
     
     
         17 . A mobile cleaning robot system including a mobile cleaning robot, the system comprising:
 a display configured to present a user interface; and   processing circuitry in communication with the mobile cleaning robot and the display, the processing circuitry configured to:
 display a room cleaning settings indication selectable to set one or more cleaning settings for a previously-mapped specified room; and 
 display, when the room cleaning settings indication is selected, a cleaning mode indication selectable to set a cleaning mode setting of the specified room. 
   
     
     
         18 . The mobile cleaning robot system of  claim 17 , wherein the room cleaning settings indication includes a vacuuming only or vacuuming and mopping indication. 
     
     
         19 . The mobile cleaning robot system of  claim 18 , the processing circuitry further configured to:
 display, when either vacuuming only or vacuuming and mopping is selected, a cleaning passes indication selectable to set a number of vacuuming cleaning passes of a mobile cleaning robot.   
     
     
         20 . The mobile cleaning robot system of  claim 19 , the processing circuitry further configured to:
 display, when the vacuuming and mopping indication is selected, a fluid rate indication selectable to set a rate at which a fluid is discharged from the mobile cleaning robot.
