A robot obstacle detection system including a robot housing which navigates with respect to a surface and a sensor subsystem aimed at the surface for detecting the surface. The sensor subsystem includes an emitter which emits a signal having a field of emission and a photon detector having a field of view which intersects the field of emission at a region. The subsystem detects the presence of an object proximate the mobile robot and determines a value of a signal corresponding to the object. It compares the value to a predetermined value, moves the mobile robot in response to the comparison, and updates the predetermined value upon the occurrence of an event.
1. A robot comprising: a robot housing;a drive system housed by the robot housing and configured to maneuver the robot with respect to a wall;at least one sensor component housed in the robot housing and directed outwardly for detecting the presence of a wall surface, the sensor component comprising
1. A robot comprising: a robot housing;a drive system housed by the robot housing and configured to maneuver the robot with respect to a wall;at least one sensor component housed in the robot housing and directed outwardly for detecting the presence of a wall surface, the sensor component comprising:an emitter that emits a directed signal having a defined field of emission; anda detector located forward of the emitter on the housing and having a defined field of view directed to intersect the field of emission of the emitter, the intersection of the field of emission and the field of view defining a volume of intersection space laterally adjacent the robot housing; anda circuit in communication with the detector and the drive system for maneuvering the robot and the intersection space as a function of the orientation of the robot with respect to the wall as determined by detection of the signal in the intersection space. 2. The robot of claim 1, wherein the field of emission is directed toward the detector, forward of the emitter, when the robot is traveling forward along a wall. 3. The robot of claim 2, wherein the field of emission is directed between about 20-60 degrees toward the detector. 4. The robot of claim 1, wherein the field of view is directed toward the emitter, rearward of the detector, when the robot is traveling forward along a wall. 5. The robot of claim 4, wherein the field of view is directed between about 20-60 degrees toward the emitter. 6. The robot of claim 1, further comprising an emitter lens and a detector lens, wherein the focal lengths of the two lenses are selected to have a common focus in the intersection space. 7. The robot of claim 1, wherein a line bisecting the intersection of the optical axes of the emitter and detector is substantially perpendicular to the wall. 8. The robot of claim 1, wherein the emitter field and detector field are further directed downward. 9. The robot of claim 8, wherein at least one of the directed signal and the defined field of view is directed downward at about 45 degrees. 10. The robot of claim 1, wherein the field of emission and field of view define an angle therebetween of about between 20-80 degrees. 11. The robot of claim 1, wherein the emitter is configured to modulate the directed signal and the detector is configured to filter signals to detect the modulated directed signal. 12. The robot of claim 1, further comprising a second detector coupled to the circuit in an OR logic configuration with the first detector. 13. The robot of claim 1, wherein the directed signal is one of an infrared beam and a laser beam. 14. The robot of claim 1, wherein the detector is further configured to detect a baseline level of ambient light. 15. The robot of claim 1, further comprising an emitter collimator about the emitter for directing the directed signal and a detector collimator about the detector to define the field of view.
