ABSTRACT

A method in accordance with at least some embodiments of the present
technology includes determining first hazard information about a human in an
environment at a first time. The method further includes decelerating a mobile
robot in the environment based at least partially on the first hazard
information. The method further includes determining second hazard information
about the human at a second time after the first time. The method further
includes reconfiguring the mobile robot based at least partially on the second
hazard information. Reconfiguring the mobile robot includes moving the mobile
robot from a standing configuration to a non-standing configuration. The
method further includes determining third hazard information about the human
at a third time after the second time. Finally, the method includes causing a
safe operating stop of the mobile robot based at least partially on the third
hazard information.
