# Robotic device workspace mapping

## Abstract

System and techniques to map a workspace for a robotic device are described herein. The robotic device has a movable portion with a sensor that is used to capture readings from part of the workspace. These readings are used to map a portion of the workspace and then to plot a new position of the movable portion to get readings for another part of the workspace. As the technique iterates, the robotic device is able to safely and efficiently map the entirety of the workspace.
